Thread: Global Debt Management Services Limited

.... are a seperate limited company owned by Alliance & Leicester. A & L use these people to collect debts. However, they are not registered with the IFO as a data controller, they are filing dormant company accounts and they have themselves down as a non-trading.

If they have been collecting payments from you, then they are trading. They are not registered to process your data and if you are currently dealing with these people, I strongly advise you to check this out with the IFO and Companies House because this information will strengthen any case that you may have against them....

Shortly after our little run-in... they made themselves legal. The fact that they were reported to the IR may have had something to do with that decision....

It's interesting that they're involving Global when you've never been in arrears...

You say they want £150 a month.... What are the normal repayments on the loan? If you've paid A&L less than the agreed repayments for any reason, then this may be why they've passed it over.... otherwise it's very mysterious.

Don't know if this is connected to Global or not but thought I'd share this experience:

My partner defaulted on a A+L loan almost 5 years ago, but entered into an agreement to make repayments directly to A+L. She has been making regular monthly payments of £170 since Sept 2005 without fail.

She phoned yesterday to make her regular payment as usual, but got a recorded message saying the number was no longer in use, and to call another number.

She called the other number, it was Abbey (both are part of the Santander group) who told her the debt had been passed to a collections agency, but couldn't tell her which one (they said they used "four or five")

She was still able to make a payment over the phone, but was told the collections agency would be in touch and she'd need to make payment arrangements with them.

A bit different from howie's problem as my partner's account was in default, but quite annoying as she'd made 50 agreed payments on schedule and now it seems to have been passed elsewhere.
