Had a letter today informing us that they have "Made an appoint to contact us on Weds between 6 and 8".

 

which is news to us as the only communication we've had is a letter from us to JD Williams offering £30 a month which they have ignored.

 

So, can we expect harassment by phone or someone trying to collect our doorstep?!? ;)

Could be either, but you are under no obligation to discuss anything which ever method they attempt, refuse to answer 'security questions' any doorstep fetishist should be invited to leave as a doorstep stuffed where the sun don't shine could be a tad painful:madgrin:

Hi

 

Been receiving "threatograms" from this company now, even though we have written to Ambrose Wilson on numerous occasions offering a reduced payment.

 

The latest one (dated 2 days after we wrote to AW and sent it signed for

- and sent a copy to the charming RC Ltd) says that our conduct is unacceptable and will not be tolerated... guess that's us told then!!!

 

I wrote to them on the 17th July:

 

I am in receipt of my latest statement and a letter from Reliable Collections, and I have to admit that I am at a loss with regard to the tone of both of these communications.

 

Despite writing to you both more than once, informing you of my financial situation and offering to make regular payments of £30 a month,

my letters have gone unacknowledged. I therefore find it rather incredible that your communications state:

 

“Despite numerous attempts by, our client, Reliable Collections Ltd to communicate with you about your debt, you have failed to bring your account up to date…

 

“We are prepared to help but you must talk to us and share your situation with us…”

 

As stated above, I have made more than one attempt to communicate, in writing, which is the only way that I am prepared to discuss this matter.

 

To reiterate, I am prepared to make regular monthly payments of £30 and if interest or other charges are being added to the account

I would be grateful if you would freeze these so that all payments made will reduce what I owe.

Should my circumstances improve I will contact you again immediately.

 

I would be happy to make the payments in line with the offer to your company, on a monthly basis commencing immediately.

I would appreciate it if you could send me a paying-in book / standing order form to make it easier to pay you.

 

I look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.

 

A copy of this letter will be sent to Reliable Collections Ltd.

 

and have received no response...I am thinking of sending this now...

 

I am in receipt of your latest, and to be perfectly honest, quite offensive “threatogram”.

Please see enclosed a second copy of the letter I wrote to Ambrose Wilson on the 17th July (one was also sent to you on the same date).

 

Please be advised that I am only prepared to deal with this matter in writing with Ambrose Wilson, and I shall certainly not be paying your administration charges.

 

Suggestions... comments... doorsteps that you would like them to collect :lol:

Guess we need to sign up for Internet banking :). And then we just pay the amount on a monthly basis, and ignore any threatograms?

 

Thank you for your help

the easiest and most controllable way

to pay bills

you click each month you pay it when you can

 

pers I don't use DD or SO

 

I always make manual payments via a bill list

 

most webportal banking does it. [bACS]

 

you might already be signed up

you just need to activate it.

Well, we made a payment

 

 

today we received a letter saying they will accept the £30 offer (every 28 days!),

 

 

they will write and tell us what day to pay,

 

 

and no they won't freeze the interest or charges.

 

 

.. but will review things in six months!

Hi, me again...

we have had two letters from Ambrose Wilson accepting the offer and asking us to pay by direct debit,

and one from RC Ltd also agreeing to the offer and asking us to pay them directly!!!

Help needed please:

 

Letter from Ambrose Wilson dated 31st July

- thank you for your recent letter regarding your account.

 

In light of your circumstances we will accept your offer of reduced payments of £30 every 28 days.

Your account has now been placed on a payment arrangement,

as a temporary measure to help you whilst you are experiencing financial difficulties.

 

A further letter will be sent to you to confirm the details of this arrangement and the date that your first payment is due.

This arrangement and your financial situation will be reviewed in 6 months time.

 

You must ensure your payments reach us on time and in full,

by the due date shown on your statements,

as failure to maintain the above agreement will lead to the arrangement being cancelled,

and your minimum payments reverting back to the original contractual instalment.

 

We note your request to suspend interest and charges on the account,

however, we are unable to agree to this at this time.

 

Your account and financial situation, however, will be reviewed in six months time.

 

To also help you maintain your payments and for your own peace of mind,

we would advise that you contact us to set up a direct debit on your account.

 

Payments will be taken directly from your bank every 28 days,

which will ensure your account remains up to date, avoiding calls, letters

and administration charges and a mandate has been sent to you under a separate cover. ...

 

Letter from Ambrose Wilson dated 1st August

- thank you for your request to make payments by direct debit.

Please complete the enclosed mandate and return it to us.

We will then set up a payment service for you.

Once your direct debit is arranged we will collect payments every 28 days etc...

 

Letter from Reliable Collections Ltd dated 2nd August - notification of an agreed payment plan.

£30 to be with us by 29th August 2013.

 

We sent a letter yesterday saying that we would pay by Internet banking and only to Ambrose Wilson,

and that they needed to make this clear to RC Ltd as we weren't paying two companies for one debt.

 

Letter today from Ambrose Wilson not dated

- here is your credit account statement managed by Reliable Collections Ltd.

It includes transactions on your account up to 1st August 2013.

 

Your Minimum Payment of £30 is due by 22 Aug.

you can now set up a direct debit online in three easy steps etc...

 

The statement shows the opening balance of £719.97, two administration charges of £12 on the 4th and 18th July,

the payment of £30 on the 25th July, a credit charge of £20.08 on the 1st August and a closing balance of £734.05!

 

Please can anyone advise what the next step is?

 

I intend to keep on making the payments via the Internet banking to Ambrose Wilson..

. But at this rate we will never make a dent in the balance, and the dates seem to vary!

 

Help - and thank you

neither are helping you.

 

pers i'd be following this

and ignore what they are saying

 

there is NO POINT

in paying if they are adding charges/interest.

 

TELL [dont ask] them they are only going to get £xxPCM for xx mts

as a goodwill gesture

and as a reciprocal GOGW they must freeze int & refrain from levying PENALTY charges.

if they wont

drop them to £1PCM for life.

.

as an example>

LETTER 1

.

I am currently in financial difficulties and not able to meet my normal monthly repayments.

to show my goodwill, i am going to pay £5 for 6 mts.

 

i will update you in 6mts time or before, should my situation change.

could you please as a reciprocal goodwill guesture,

refrain from levying any penalty charges & freeze the interest on my account.?

Should you fail to assist me during a period of financial difficulty, contrary to all the guidelines and codes

issued by the relevent bodies and authorities that govern you and the way you conduct yourselves.

i shall have no alternative but to reduce my offer to £1PCM for the rest of the life of the account,

as your actions would do nothing to help me.

i thank you for your time.

signed

.

then pay by your internet banking site

.

and get reclaiming

.

TAKE CONTROL

.

if you have sent the above and they refuse

then write back........

.

.LETTER 2

 

i'm sorry, but you have failed to assist me during a period of financial difficulty,

against all the guidelines and codes issued by the relevent bodies and authorities

that govern you and the way you conduct yourselves.

i repeat again, the contents of my letter dated dd/mm/yyyy, for want of clarification:

to show my goodwill, i am going to pay £XX for XX mts

could you please as a reciprocal goodwill guesture, refraining from levying any penalty charges

& freeze the interest on my account.

i will update you in 6mts time or before, should my situation chance.

should you fail to help by refraining from levying unlawful PENALTY charges & freeze my interest,

i shall have no alternative but to reduce my offer to £1PCM for the rest of the life of the account,

as your actions are doing nothing to help me.

This is contrary to the rules you should operate under.

disgruntled account holder

 

 

and i'd be sending that to JDW head office

One final question... reclaim? Can you point me to a thread or letter I can read to understand better what I want to ask them for?

 

Thanks again x
