Translated = I've got no intention of abiding by any legislation pertaining to the finance industry & because I'm a yuppie the FSA have no authority over me.....besides I've got some big backers....know what I mean!

 

I think this bloke's more of a LOMBARD than a YUPPIE. LOMBARD = "Lot's of money but a real d***head".

Just subbing

With a name like Jonty, this American fool thinks he can [problem] over here too.

The yanks usually fall for his type of [causing problems] on a regular basis. I believe he also advised P Bush that Iraq had WOMD.

As there is no return address, you may have to keep an eye out for any court papers, then hit back with the evidence you have so far. This plonker may think he can pull this twaddle over here but our laws are a little better than the USA.

if so, what do i do now:idea::idea:

[hillards]

what do i do now

Keep the info that says why it was returned, in case they are daft enough to try any other course of action.

 

You can show that you did try to contact them, but it's not your fault they didn't supply their correct details. And, as we've shown, a search by several people on here has failed to find any details of this 'firm'.

 

I don't know what they could expect you to do now, and a court would also take that view. Seems like you're waiting for their next contact.

NW8 9SP maps to Wellington Road and a Google search on "NW8 9SP 28-32" reveals a surprisingly large number of businesses with "suites" at that address and an aerial photograph of what looks like a house rather than the skyscraper that would be needed to accommodate them all if they had any substance.

 

Methinks, that "Gone Away" is a translation for "no longer paying rent for their mail box".

 

As for what you do, keep the envelope to use as evidence in case the jokers ever crawl back out from under their stone.

[Viscount Stair]

I also think that this is one that the Legal Complaints Service (LCS: Legal Complaints Service home) might actually be interested in.

It looks as if a complaint to TS & the FSA is in order.

[The GodMother]

indeed

[sillygirl1]

Go ahead with the complaint, they seem to be a bunch of USA based legal people who have no powers over here... I think perhaps a company house search might reveal a few links to another bunch of chancers (not revealing names yet but there is a strong link... being investigated at the mo so can't name names)

Hi

 

I have a question for Help-Needed:

 

Did the letter re: revoking right to a doorstep visit do the trick?

 

I am in same situation, but they are just threatening a visit at moment, which I really dont want.

I have sent a letter offering monthly installments, and revoking their right to visit me, but they havent acknowledged it yet.

Summary

 

 

I started my career being mentored by renouned banker, Gilbert de Botton at Global Asset Management and spent 2 years designing reporting systems to allow complex financial instruments to be explained to private investors.

 

In 1996 I founded my first company in a small back room in Convent Garden, London, with a team of inspiring young developers and artists.

 

After almost 2 years of building the technology, Delve Reporting launched in 1997. Delve grew through the dotcom wave to become one of the worlds leading financial reporting platforms.

 

The 2001 bubble-bursting was a defining moment for me as CEO of Delve but through a series tough decisions, the company came through stronger and more streamlined. In 2005, Delve was acquired by StatPro PLC (AIM:SOG). Delve's technology continues to power reporting for some of the worlds largest financial institutions.

 

Following the sale of my company, I stayed on as Creative Director of the StatPro Group (AIM: SOG) until 2007. During this time I was responsible for unifying the teams and technologies from 6 acquired companies in 5 countries helping the Statpro grow from 50 to over 200 employees.

 

Wonga is my current project - my aim is to bring a range of disruptive methodologies to the UK consumer banking industry.

 

Since founding Wonga together with Errol Damelin in 2007, I have built the teams and technologies to bring the UK’s most sophisticated real-time consumer risk engine to market. Wonga has emerged as one of Europes fastest growing companies.

 

To balance my entrepreneurial side, I am also an artist. Over the past 5 years I have built up a collection of works, with some currently on exhibition at the Maidstone Museum as a finalist in the Bentliff Art Prize.

 

I am also one of the co-founders and Trustees of the Separated Child Foundation (WELCOME TO THE SEPARATED CHILD FOUNDATION | Separated Child Foundation) which was established in 2007 to help young refugees arriving in the UK with no parental support.

The Separated Child Foundation

 

 

Non-Profit Organization Management industry

August 2007 – Present (1 year 6 months)

Separated children and young people are refugees or are seeking asylum—and have no parent or guardian with them. Separated children experience the double trauma of separation not only from their homeland, culture and natural environment but also from the adults in their family who gave them care.

 

The Separated Child Foundation offers emotional, social, financial and physical support to separated children and young people up to the age of 21. I sit as a Trustee for the foundation covering areas ranging from strategy, web and fund allocation.

 

Founder & CTO

 

Wonga.com

 

 

Privately Held; 11-50 employees; Financial Services industry

January 2007 – Present (2 years 1 month)

As the Founder CTO, I'm focusing on bringing together talent and technology to completely change the way financial services work online. Wonga is exciting, challenging and wildly innovative. With all of this creativity though we are dealing with money and real lives, so we have to be really grounded in reality too. I've got an inspiring partner (Founder and CEO), Errol, who is pushing the team relentlessly. Together with an exceptional group of people - we're shoving a carrot up the backside of an industry seriously in need of change.

 

 

What a complete to**er. "my aim is to bring a range of disruptive methodologies to the UK consumer banking industry." Anyone got any idea of what that means?

 

 

"Convent Garden". I wonder if that's anywhere near Covent Garden.

Hi Trough

Did you question your debt?

The doorstep caller will most likely never materialise anyway. But have your hosepipe ready (As long as theres no hosepipe ban of course, wouldnt want you falling foul of the council now would we:D)

[troughmonster]

Hi

 

I havent questioned the initial loan, but I have refused to accept the interest and charges that they are piling on since I told them I couldnt pay.

I have written to them twice, emailed then seven times, and complained to the FLA (although the FLA only confirmed receipt of my complaint today), and they have simply ignored me so far.

 

I am not letting them bully me, and will take this to the FOS, trading standards, Watchdog, Which, you name it

[bazaar]

Trough

So that we dont highjack this thread, can you start your own one in the legal issues area, this will then get answered better to suit your needs.

[troughmonster]

Er - how do I do that?

Sorry to be so dense:)

I know this is England, ruled by Brussels, but surely even we can't have a hosepipe ban in the middle of winter?

U will be suprised Fred i did not think we could question our debts but i know we can now.
