Hi I got a Vanquis card a few years ago, and (I say this reluctantly) I've been largely happy with it. For the most part, I used it only when necessary and paid of the balance each month or as soon as possible. I recently started a business and used my card a lot in the initial period to help with start up expenses. I reached near my max of £3000 and stayed there for a couple of months. I've just paid off my balance in full and asked to close the account but have discovered that I am being charged interest on my last months balance, even though it was paid before the due date, and I won't be billed for that until the end of next month. I then have to wait a further month to make sure I have a zero balance before the account is finally closed. I've never come across this before, I closed a cap1 card a while ago, paid off balance and that was that so what are Vanquis playing at? Just had a thought, if I wait for them to bill me will they charge me interest on the interest the following month?

BiteMe, forgive me if I'm wrong but this sounds like you had no intention of paying for the fuel in the first place. There are constant calls from the debt collection industry, and others, to have CAG and other, similar, sites regulated. When it seems that people are using CAG to avoid paying their debts it gives ammunition to those who would see CAG made toothless.

You've kept the money and are blaming the delivery company? Its your responsibility to ensure that the buyer received what he's paid for. As Staraker said, you should have refunded your customer first. You might be left out of pocket but that's your problem not the guy you sold to or Paypal.

IQOR chasing Lloyds Overdraft charges near becoming SB'd

If they are acting as agents for Lloyd's then there will not be a notice of assignment. How long before it becomes SB ? -

Lowell Portfolio - trying to collectWF debt from 2003

Whenever someone says "Welcome", regardless of the context, Miss sold PPI pops into my head. I wonder why -
DCA's love to send people to the naughty step. In their world, its the ultimate sanction. Not sure its within OFT guidelines though

Don't get hung up on the default date, its when that last payment or written acknowledgement was made that starts the SB clock. Incidentally, I liked the reply I received from hillsden after informing them an account was SB and therefore extinguished (I live in Scotland) "We have taken a commercial decision not to pursue the mater further"

Hi benjamin It would help if you could give as much info about the alleged debt as possible. Does this show on your credit file, what was the default date, when was the last payment or written acknowledgement? The more info you can give the guys, the better they'll be able to tailor their advice to your particular circumstances.

Andy, whatever happens now that offer is going to be available to you. You can only streangthen your bargaining position from this point on. Please listen to what the guys are advising you. Its in your best interest to make sure that the amount they say you owe is genuine and that there are no unfair charges or miss sold PPI etc. Make them jump through a few hoops by submitting a CCA request if the amount claimed arrises from a loan or CC. The more info you can give the guys, the more they will be able to tailor the advice they offer to your specific situation.
