Haven't been on this forum for ages (years) but so helpful.

 

For the last 14 months I have been living in a vicious cycle of pay day loans. Not just pay day loans but unsecured high interest loan from 118 money. I am trying desperately to sort my credit rating out and not fall behind with things.

 

I have sent emails to all my pay day lenders asking for a breakdown of my accounts as they can see from Noddle, Experian etc. that they lent me money whilst I still had numerous pay day loans outstanding.

 

I believe having read through endless posts this may well be a case for irresponsible lending? My loan with 118 money is still outstanding but is absolutely astronomical in terms of interest. I borrowed £3000 over 2 years and the interest is front loaded. I asked for a settlement figure and now 10 months after taking it out is still £4000.

 

Could this be a claim for misselling too as they were also more than aware of my outstanding debts.

Thank you very much am trying (inbetween working) to log on to Experian, noddle and another and am compiling a table. The data does seem to differ from one CRA to the next. In the meanwhile I have contacted all the payday loan lenders and asked for a break down of my accounts. I will try and finish the table today. Thank you again!

This is from my CRAs although I do not think they are necessarily conclusive. The information recorded is obviously proof that I had the loans but it would take a collaboration with my bank accounts to see how they caused me financial hardship.

 

I recently fell into rent arrears due to being completely overstretched, a relative lent me this money and I have paid it back. I fell behind with council tax for which I had bailiffs attend my property.

 

I fell into arrears with my car which I have only just cleared. All the while these people just kept lending and lending me money. The dates may look sporadic but I was literally robbing from Peter to pay Paul and still am although its getting a lot better.

 

I cant believe I was ever stupid enough to fall into the pay day loan trap. I now have them emailing and calling my work regularly if I don't give a minimum payment. The larger ones such as Wonga have been quite good in starting to look at my complaint etc. but the others just appear to be so unscrupulous.

Quite a lot of those loans were taken within a short space of time, it is probably not reasonable to expect each lender would have known you had existing loans with other lenders as the CRA's are not always updated that quickly and it depends if you were honest about your outgoings on your affordability forms - did you put into your outgoings the existing loan repayments and lenders? If so, then I would say you MAY have a case for irresponsible lending, if not and you have lied on your application, that's a different matter.

 

Are all of these loans still outstanding?

No these loans are no longer outstanding. I read somewhere that one of the CRAs works on a real time basis so other lenders can invariably see information from one to another is this not the case?

Hi Rascal..

 

Ibe added spacing to your post.

 

Its tough to say if you may get anywhere with this, however ill help how I can.

 

You are correct. Callcredit do have a real time lenders update for HCSTC. It is used by all the major Lenders.

Have you read the CAG PDL guide?

 

We could do with some help from you.

Yes thanks I have read the guide.

 

 

There are a couple of things that stood out with me

- for Payday UK and Wonga from what I can ascertain from my records

- no score was given for subsequent loans to the 1st. i.e. just because I had successfully repaid one they did not rescore me on any of the CRAs to ascertain my credit history,

they lent according to their own sense of affordability.

 

 

Im genuinely not expecting a miracle from this.

If anything it has been an extremely tough lesson for me and one that I most definitely will not repeat.

 

 

In an absolute ideal situation for me it would be to have the information removed from my CRA files rather than any refunds or compensation (which to me are just a bonus).

 

 

My main loans which is outstanding is the 118 money one for which the interest is astronomical.

 

 

Whilst I am managing to meet the monthly repayments it has been at the cost of almost robbing Peter to pay Paul.

 

 

My loan with UK Credit was paid in full after my sister offered to transfer the balance to a 16 month 0% interest free credit card for me on the proviso that when I am in better standing with my own credit

 

 

I will be able to refinance and invariably pay her back but this is on an as and when basis its not urgent.
