Hi

Ive had an Vanquis card that i fell behind with after arranging reduced payments for 4 months but after 3 months vanquis rang and said id had the reduced amount and now needed to make the full payments..

 

Mackenzie hall have since contacted me with a reduced settlement offer of half the debt, looking for an amicable settlement prior to court proceedings, Which i worked out was the correct amount owed less there charges applied which doubled the amount, so i wrote back agreeing to the half debt amount and sent a letter agreeing to the true figure that was owed less the unlawful and extortionate charges and offered payments of 10.00 minimum per month due to my financial position. and that the 10.00 was on the understanding that we'd amicably agreed to the lesser figure, i foolishly sent a 10.00 postal order.

 

Ive had a letter back stating that, their client cannot accept the 10.00 minimum payment per month at the reduced figure, but demand that i pay 36.00 pm and unless i pay the 36.00pm the reduced figure will become the full amount.. They have also cashed the 10.00 postal order and taken it of the full figure..

 

Ive had a few dealings with cabot in the past and won :) but need some advise asap as they have given me 30 days and im half way through that already, feel foolish for sending the 10.00 postal order now but that was clearly indicated as the first months minimum payment..

Also SAR'd Vanquis and thats been 14 days sent...

Maybe I should be asking some questions seeing that this post has been viewed over 100 times but no help forthcoming..

 

Can Mackenzie Hall force the issue of a reduced settlement to their payment figures?

 

should they have taken the postal order and knocked it of the full amount although the payment was in agreement to the reduced offer?

 

I know the unlawful charges have doubled the amount owed and it was these charges that took me over my limit, do i just wait for the SAR from vanquis and request those charges back??

 

any help would be appreciated

Hi

Very strange that Muck Hall have this. They usually deal only in duff debts!

 

Even though they offered and you accepted an agreement, that would still have depended on you offering a sum they want so yes they can withdraw the offer and take the payment.

Yes, it was a bit silly sending the PO without their explicit agreement but hey, you can't change it now!

 

I would ignore MH for now and concentrate on Vanquis.

 

Was the account defaulted correctly and how long ago?

When was the account opened?

 

I assume MH are chasing as they bought the debt rather than acting for Vanquis

Hi Silverfox

thankyou for looking at this for me, the card was opened end of 2012, dont recall seeing any default notice, and in Muck Halls response they say there client cannot accept the offer i made of a minimum of 10.00pm and it has to be 36.00pm. I know for sure that the late payment charges and fees have doubled the amount. should i just write to MH and say Im awaiting my responce to the SAR i sent to Vanquis? as they gave me 30 days to respond..

As MH are stating 'client' it is highly likely they are acting for Vanquis and as such can do nothing to you. As this is a recently opened account, there is no point doing a CCA request but you have done the right thing in getting the charges sorted.

 

In the meantime, work out what you can afford to repay, not forgetting to have a life. If that is less than a tenner, tough on them. Offer that to Vanquis not MH and see what they can come back with.

This is an old thread but have just received a letter from Lowell regarding my So called vanquis account, Mekenzi Hall dropped this and I was contacted by Lowell so I SAR'd them many months ago.

 

Since then I have received a cd that is supposed to have telephone recordings of me (which actually has nothing on), and I have had two sets of account activity (statements typed on a4 plain paper) that totally contradict each other (purchases, payments and late payment charges dates don't match).

 

Now I have this letter from Lowell stating ' we refer to your request for a copy of the documentation regarding this account.

Vanquis have been unable to supply all the documentation requested to fulfill your request under sec 77/78 of the consumer credit act 1974, because of this we are unable to issue court proceedings to enforce this debt, nether the less we are satisfied that we have supplied enough evidence to demonstrate the account is valid and owing and legally we are within our rights to continue to ask for repayment' .

 

They also offer a 50% reduction but state that that the debt will be shown as part satisfied on my credit file..

 

Has anyone any advice on this matter please, can they still tarnish my credit record??

Hi

As this debt was likely to have been defaulted in 2013, you still have a while before it drops off so Lowell marking it as part satisfied will only show until the default drops off.

 

While they cannot fulfil the CCA request, they can ask but not demand you make payments nor are you obliged to offer them a payment.

 

Did you do anything with the charges. If not, you could do so and that should clear any debt anyway and perhaps leave you with some beer money as well.

From muckyhall to lowlifes!

 

Speaks volumes.

 

IMO if they cannot provide the CCA, then you pay nothing.

 

But as SF says, have you looked at reclaiming the charges?

 

If they offer a 50% discount then they themselves know that they are on thin ice with this, and if you pay them anything, it will go straight into someone's pocket.

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

Thanks for your replies, as I've said I have received two separate lots of account statements on A4 paper, one has loads of £12.00 charges, billed finance charges cash interest, billed finance charges interest, billed finance charges default fee interest, then there's EVANQUIS EVANQUIS amounts and the other doesn't have many ???

have a really good laugh at them and tell them to jog on. Theyre saying " we cant do anything at all to make you pay, so we're just going to harass you instead". I''d reply back, there is no legal obligation for payment and any further communication will be considered harassment and reported.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

Hadituptohere

Before Lowell took over the account, was there a default already in place?

If yes then when the debt was sold the default will have been put in Lowells name but the date should remain the same.

If not then the date is likely to be wrong.

Hi and thanks for the replies yet again,

 

 

Ive just gone through the two separate account statements,

One was from Vanquis that I SAR'd and got Back in October 2015 there charge off was £697.00.

This shows the use of the card starting in 2012.

 

The reply to that SAR only contained the blank CD and the statement account.

 

The reply to the SAR from Lowell is just the account statement and a compliment slip hand written,

this shows the use of the card dating back to May 2010 and the last transaction/interest charge June 2012

a charge off amount of £574.00 dated June 2015

but yet the handwritten compliment slip states a balance of £697.00????

 

Looking at the transaction history of the Lowell statement

it clearly isnt mine as theres payments to Norwich Council,

cash taken from Norwich barclays CP,

and Maidenhead petrol stations

and ive never been to maidenhead

or had to pay Norwich Council,

bit of a bummer as the CIsheet calculates the charges on there to over £1600.00.

 

Now Lowells have obviously messed up here..

and they say they have the legal right to continue to collect this active account

.. lol

Hi all

I sent a letter to Lowell yesterday by recorded delivery telling them they have failed to fullfil my request of my Subject Access Request and that what they have sent out is laughable, requesting no further contact or id take it as harassment also for any default Markers there registering on my credit file to be removed.

 

Today I receive a letter from Lowell dated the 5th Feb saying they purchased the debt from Vanquis in good faith but were not aware of any outstanding or previous disputes, that the best way to resolve the matter is to write off the outstanding balance and close the account, you will no longer receive any further correspondence regarding this matter and that any Default registered with the Credit Reference Agencies will be removed but this may take upto 4-6 weeks...

 

LOL i sent my letter yesterday and get this today... Classic lowells

It would be good to see a copy of that letter if you can scan and post it up, suitably redacted of course.

 

I wouldn't believe anything lowlifes say, this will get bundled up into another portfolio of lemon debts and flogged on again.
