Hi all,

 

I unfortunately took out a chequebook loan for £300 2 years ago when I was in need of quick cash. Thinking I'd pay it off quickly, it didn't happen!

 

I have been paying £60 a month for this loan that doesn't actually reduce the amount owed totalling £1440 in fees so far. Since taking out this loan I have had a change in circumstances and paying this £60 a month is a really struggle and I am unable to clear the loan either. Chequebook loans take the money out of my account I think in the same way that a retailer would in payment form rather than dd. I would like to cancel payment and discuss an alternative arrangement but they haven't been much help. Does anyone have any experience with them or a similar set up. All advice appreciated!

You need to cancel the payment immediately and then send them a SAR. Don't keep paying these robbing ****s! How much have you repaid up til now?

Just hate every DCA out there

hiya and welcome to CAG :)

 

the very first thing you need to do is send a letter by recorded delivery (see link below letter N) enclose a £1 postal order, do NOT use your true signature just PRINT your name,

 

as pmhcfc says stop paying em, when you send the CCA letter they have 12 WORKING days to respond (+2 for post) after this they default under the consumer credit act and they have no legal right to request/demand payments, if they respond take a photo of it using photobucket (free to use) and post link to it here. REMEMBER to REMOVE ALL personal info so we cant identify you, then CAG can advise you further

If my advice has been helpful please feel free to click on my scales :grin:

Hi,

 

Thanks for the advice, I'll call my bank and see if they can stop the payments going out and send the letter to chequebook. I'll keep you posted! I've paid £1440 so far!:)

I know how you feel. I took out a loan with Cheque Book loans about 4/5 years ago and I am sure I have paid them off! What I hated was them inadvertently going into my card account and taking money when they feel like it! Recently, my Bank had changed all the Debit Cards and so now they dont have my new card details :-)

 

Yesterday, I checked my bank account online and noticed that a Standing Order was set up on my account and £100 was debited which has left me overdrawn with the bank and out of pocket and now I'm going to be charged by the Bank! I didnt agree to a Standing Order or signed a Standing Order Mandate so who put my signature on the form? I never received a letter to state that a Standing Order will be set up.

 

My bank are not happy about this either. They said that someone would have actually gone into a Branch to do this and I know I never have. Good thing is that I have a managed Bank Account with Thinkbanking.

 

ThinkBanking have spoken to RBS and requested them to cancel the Standing Order, I am absolutely livid. I am trying to contact Cheque Book Loans, but their contact page doesnt even work. Does anyone know how I can contact them please? They will get a damning report from me.

 

Between myself and the bank, I intend to get to the bottom of this.

What to do?

I'm sorry I can't find an email addy for them, maybe someone will come along later with it.

 

Chequebook loans will have the standing orders you completed at the application stage and they could take into a branch of your bank on any day that it suits. Your money if in bank could disappear the same day.

Have they now? Thanks for this. My bank said they are going to send me a copy of the Standing Order Mandate they took to a branch with my 'signature' My bank have cancelled it and will keep rejecting it until they get the message. I will also report them to the FSA.

We had the same problem, couldnt pay the full 300 at once so we paid 60 per month until that amount was paid , then got a new debit card from the bank so they couldnt take anymore but they then tried to take 300 from our account by setting up a fraudulent standing order so we changed our bank account number but stayed with same bank, this is the only way we could think of to get rid of them .
