Who should I report Wonga to? Is it the OFT?
wittsend replied to Eitha22's topic in Wonga and associated companies
forgot to say keep a copy of the letter aswell xxx the reason they want you to phone is to get you to give them your card details, saying it will be easier for them to take the money each month from your account. DO NOT DO IT, they have been known to empty accounts this way -
Who should I report Wonga to? Is it the OFT?
wittsend replied to Eitha22's topic in Wonga and associated companies
you go through citizens advice, www. adviceguide.org.uk they have to have a lot of complaints so won't act on just one,keep all your emails as proof of harassment. just a quick question, did they say payment to be made on xx of each month, if so you need to make it a few days before the date due, or was it payment to be made before xx of the month, if so and your payment is made before that date it is a fault at their end. Make a formal complaint, in writing to Wonga, Head the letter FORMAL COMPLAINT, tell them that you are in a repayment plan with them, the payments are made on xx of every month,by standing order, and you have no Idea how THEY can say you havent paid on the same day the payment is sent to them, point out that you have informed them of your husbands illness and that they are harrassing you.which is against OFT guide lines. also tell them that you will not communicate by phone, any phonecalls that are received will be logged and recorded by date and time, all, communication will be by letter or email ,so you have confermation should any question about what has been agreed need checking remember do not speak to them on the phone unless you can record the call, just tell them' i take it you have received my complaint of the xx/xx/xxxx so you know this call is being recorded. if you can't recored the call and they do phone, dont go through security checks ,just say in writing only and hang up. My best wishes to you and your Husband hope all goes well with his treatment xx -
Advice about dealing with 'Debts' after leaving the country
wittsend replied to mani99's topic in Debt Collection Agencies
A lot of banks overseas ask for your banking history eg, a referal from your bank as to how your account was run, not a copy of your credit file. Also most credit cards (abroad) are linked to the ammount of money in your account so you cannot have a card for £3000, if you only put in £1000 a month. the only bank I know that uses british CCA to check or register accounts is Santander. -
Hi DD, long time no see, how have you got on with this account, sorry not been about for sooooooo long. whitts
-
when you say printed docs did they send you a copy of the signed agreement with the terms on it and have they sent you any term from the inseption of the account(prescribed terms)
-
then why dose the intrest change upward as well as down every month?? and would that mean it would never be cleared
-
Hi yes we did receive notification of the changes can't put my hand to it just now as decorating and every thing is piled up. we owe £1393 and at the moment after intrest and account charges we are paying about £23 per year off the ballance, so will take around 60 years to clear paying £30 a month off without intrest or charges would mean we would pay it off in just under 4 years as for the bullying and threats, we have had some of the best try it, I have been managing our debts for the last 9 years, they started at £100k+ and up to now have reduced to about £89k Hubby has retired from work but only gets a work pension so income droped drasticly. have a truecall so most contact is by letter. nothing tried is nothing gained bring it on witts

the account fee is 6.95 per month, on top of the intrest, which confusingly changes every month can be £18 one month and then could be £20 the next. we have had a letter saying that the royalties accounts are being changed to another name, as they are withdrawing some of the benifits, the account fee is being increased !! but it says if we're not happy with this we can call in and change account to something else. just have to find time to go to a branch, as the nearest RBS is 25miles away from us I think with our credit rating and amount of debt a loan MAY be out of the question

wittsend replied to Claire Marshall's topic in Barclaycard
sorry Claire but I think CAB may not be able to help with this ( I may be wrong) you could sent a SAR to them £10 or a letter under CPUTR 2008 to ask if the have or have not got an original CCA good luck x -
Reconstituted Agreements Without Signature - Are They Valid!?
wittsend replied to Claire Marshall's topic in Barclaycard
Thats all I got as well, chalenged them about this this, and have had a reply that the terms and conditions sent would have been on the back of my agreement, but they state this is their final word on the matter and if I am not happy I can go to the OFT. so if the T n Cs were the back of the agreement. why can they not send the front, all i got was a peice of paper with my name and address on and a large box with my right to cancel just SAR'd them -
