Waiting for the wrong a rep..........

I'm not happy with the marketing Wonga have used saying credit files would benefit users if accounts were maintained. My credit file from Equifax is clear but Experian has 14 loans over 12 months. I believe there is no court in the country that could say other lenders would not view (using their computer system assessment) that this shows only a credit risk contradicting Wongas claim when compared with a similar credit card account. Wonga continued to lure me into using their service with ongoing emails and advertising and I believed, as they said, I was boosting my credit score. Now with a £10k deposit I cant get a mortgage on the £125k house even with the governement backed deposit scheme and the advisor says it definately too many loans over a small period of time. My capital one card has has similar activity and is not judged in the same way. Is it unreasonable to ask them to consolidate their entries? I think this is the least they can do.

Hi Specifically not wanting to go into it but the CCJ was not paid after more than 10 years, no enforcement action for 8 years, DCA saying they will go to apply for leave of stay on it. OK I acknowledge this as them giving me notice prior to action. My opinion and other they will never get anything out of it. The reason im asking is I cant believe the county court could enter into anything without any prior notification to my home address (from them) like a court summons or at least a letter giving me the opportunity to go and defend the case. If they don't have to send anything what would happen if it were granted in my absence? Would they issue a new CCJ and it enter on the CRA records for another 6 years? Also, Is there a public schedule the county court that I could look at? Thanks

Hi Please can someone explain the policy / law that county courts have for providing notification of action surrounding judgements. If a company is making an application to the court must they notify you of their intent? (and does it have to be in a specific way?) If the court agrees to a hearing with a company does the court not automatically send out a notification there are proceedings issued to notify you in advance so you can attend to defend your case before they make a potentially one sided decision? Thanks Ian

Hi Guys Hopefully someone can help with this, Ive just been made redundant from my job and have about £600 arrears with Scottish Power. Ironic that Ive spent the last three years sorting the credit file out and clearing my debts only to be hit by this. First question is my late payment bill came on Scottish Powers headed letter paper on 2nd September. Sterling collections wrote to me in a letter dated 9th September. Q1 - Does anyone know how long before late payment markers / default take to get on the credit file? Q2 - After looking at the sticky thread in this forum on 'Energy Trusts' can anyone tell me if there would be one for this electricity account? I cant see Scottish Power in the list of companies for help with arrears. Thanks for your help with this. Ian

Hi I decided to take voluntary redundancy, there are 3 more wage payments between now and leaving so I worked out that if I cancel the pension contributions immediately I take an extra £650 Gross salary total. This is what I want to do as the money will most certainly benefit me now more than in 30 years (2037). I have 9 and half years of contributions so its a good size fund sat waiting for me to use it in years to come. I contacted the payroll and pensions department and told them I wanted to cancel with immediate effect, they looked into it and told me their procedures state 60 days notice to cancel contributions. I asked if I signed a contract to this effect. The woman didnt know but said the rules were the rules. To the best of my knowledge these are just internal rules so if I want to pull the plug I can just do this. I mean who are they to tell me what I can and cant spend my wages on? Any help appreciated Thanks

Thanks for your help with this Brigadier, please could you help me with a slight ammendment to your letter you said I must decline to provide and further identity documents and remind you that the OFT Guidance on debt collection 2003/2006 updated Nov 2012 states that it is unfair to require a debtor (alleged) that he in not the person who owes an outstanding debt'. seems like there is a little bit missing. Thanks Ian

Hi I contacted Equifax in July they had some incorrect information on their file relating to a BT account. I asked them to dispute it, 2 weeks passed yesterday so I called them and got through to India or Phillipines contact centre - I could barely understand the person on the other end of the phone! I asked them to give me the account number of the BT account to which they told me they could not do this as they only have an obscured view of it. I asked them if they could chase up BT for the information, they told me they couldn't and I need to wait for 28 days. The 28 days conflicts with what they have written on their account pages where it says 21. Please can you help me with the 21 and 28 day rule here - Which is it and what must they do / give me after 21 days / 28 days? The minimum I need is a contact for BT and the original account number as they say they cant find the account when i call them on their system!! Thanks

Thanks sorry Sequenci it is just over 4 years old not 7, its for a loan with £750 left to pay. Im sorry for the mistake, used the num pad.. Regards

Hi I received a letter in July asking me to pay a bill from around 7 years ago. They insist it is me so I asked the for POC and sent the £1 and did an SAR on them too. This produced no information other than a photocopy of the original contract which although signed did not include any identification used / date of birth from application form or address! This is not acceptable as proof as far as I am concerned. I sent them a high resolution photo of my passport but made sure not to include the signature or any of the ID numbers, only a photo and the date of birth etc (the water marking etc is very clear and visible for them - without them seeing the real document its obvious its 9.99 out of 10 the real thing) as I have read that rogue DCA could use it to forge letters etc. The company have written back to me saying they want a full copy of the passport including signature. Please can you help me out with what to say. I don't want to tell them I think they are rogue, how could I nicely put it, and is the onus on them to produce proof? Regards Ian

Guys Any advice on this letter what do you think? Thanks

Hello The people at the finance company sold their unresolved business to another company. They contacted me I sent them a copy of one of the letters They contacted me saying the previous company denied receiving letters I have copies of the registered letters and took advice and reviewed the letters with the CAB and family who all kept notes. They have included a CCJ reference number This is what I am thinking about sending them after their first response What do you think to the letter? Thanks Ian
