Hi all.

 

Not been on here for quite a while but I am really stumped with this.

 

Between 1995 and 2000 we had 4 loans from Welcome

3 paid off but one we defaulted on

 

because of all the force tactics and extortionate charges for phone calls and letters I just stopped paying,

I know it was wrong but thought " sod them they have had enough from me "

I did make a successful claim for PPI and got paid out, great i thought.

 

Just received a letter from them today stating irrecords show that I am due a further refund as the original offer did not fully put me back in the position I would have been in if I had never bought PPI in the first place.

I have moved recently but it states

 

" we have previously written to you regarding this with a additional offer of compensation which still remains outstanding".

 

Due to the time that has passed we have recalculated our offer to include additional compensatory interest of 8% per annum and I have enclosed a revised acceptance form for you to sign and return to us.

 

Our additional offer of compensation is ££££££££.

 

It states.

 

" Our offer of redress will expire six month from the date of the letter, once signed and dated payment will be made within 15 working days."

 

They are requesting copied proof of identity, bit suspicious of this as it's from WF and could it be a ploy or [problem] for me to recognise the debt I still owe.

 

Has anyone else had this.

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Thanks for the advice, really appreciated.

 

As stated I still owe them money and I think we all know about the underhand tactics of Welcome Financial services and with this in mind would it be possible they are just after me recognising the account, and if there is compensation due then there is a 99% chance they will offset the compensation against what I owe them.

 

If this does happen my question is :

Does or will this offset payment be classed as recognising the debt and open a can of worms.

 

Forgot to mention but put the dates in wrong, we had the loans 2008 - 2012, haven't got a clue where I got them above dates, still over 6 years though.

Just giving you a update.

 

Sent the forms back on the 7th Oct and had no reply back as yet. Stated on the letter received it could take upto 15 days so assuming this means 3 week.

 

Just thought I would let you know.

Hello. What was the outcome of your refund ? Did you get it ?

I have received one of these letters today offering a refund. I was surprised as I think they already knocked off the PPI from my original claim from about 8 years ago.

FSCS but that's welcome anyway as they are acting under their instructions so welcome finance.

Sorry, I do apologise but what does that mean ?

 

was it welcome who contacted me or FSCS and who would I speak to regarding this, I have been looking around the interweb but it looks like WF are no longer trading according to the FSCS.

Right.

 

Firstly thank you for all your help in this matter.

 

Been in contact with FSCS and they had no record of any letter sent out.

 

Contacted Welcome and they knew about it, what they owed me in underpaid PPI has been offset against what I owed them from over 6 years ago, which apparently states this on the letter so cant argue

 

So if anyone gets a letter saying they owe you more money and you still owe them then don't bother.

most welcome debts have been sold on and unless the refund is coming from/under the direction of the FSCS they CANNOT offset unless they own the debt

 

if the loan has been sold on...welcome cannot offset unless they buyback the debt.

Mmmm, well.

 

Not sure if the loan was sold on or not to be honest and rang FSCS today regarding the letter and they stated they had no records of sending it.

 

Is there a way I could find out if the debt was sold on ?

 

Also I am almost sure it was a secured loan, would this make a difference ?

 

Just to add, we lost our home due to unforeseen circumstances about 6 year ago and the mortgage company sold it for less than half the true value.

Can't of been sold on

Won't be secured.you no longer own the home it was secured upon

 

Sb in E&W solely means they can't enforce a court judgement..the debt if the OC owns it still exists in their books
