ratio money

[socleirigh]

The second solicitor has now come back saying that the agreement looks enforceable, so £295 wasted. I wonder if I can claim this back from Ratio as they said that this fee is refundable if agreement found to be enforceable.

we had some 7 agreements audited in decemeber 2008 and were told they were unenforceable. 2 are still waiting to go to a solicitor and when i have rung up about this they are very rude. So i wrote to them 4 times to get a reply that they would be with a solicitor am still awaiting this (3 months)

 

have just received a letter from a solicitor saying that another agreement is now not worth going ahead with although it has been with them a year. This was then reallocated by Ratio to Mckay solicitors. Have not returned the paperwork as we have lost all confidence. We gave ratio money in good faith at what was and still is a difficult time for us. Thought we could get a refund . Has anyone been successful with getting money back??? we feel really stupid

I will be requesting a refund, as I too was advised that the fee was refundable if the claim did not proceed, although I won't be holding my breath waiting on it. Looks likw we have been ripped off. I had another three agreements audited by Clear Your Finance and have been trying to contact them to get £900 refunded, but no answer on the phone. Always get "user busy" message, even at 11.00pm!

 

Kind Regards

I recomend to keep chasing them I am about to hear this week on my MBNA claim I strongly suspect the solicitors will bounce it saying it is compliant. I also have another claim that has gone quiet Im at the point of going nuclear with these clowns and I will report them to the Ministry of Justice.

I too feel that I have been misled by Ratio Money.

 

So much for their comments in the taped message "just sit back and let RM sort your claim keeping you informed every step of the way."

 

Ratio Money have never heard of the terms 'customer support, cummunication' or 'complaints department'. Although I am a relatively new customer with them (August 2009) I am already totally disappointed with RM and wish I had just paid the £295.00 to NatWest. Prior to contacting RM I had pursued my complaint directly to NatWest Card Services who could not send a legible copy of my original credit card agreement application to me and could not provide anything relating to contract terms (from 15 years ago) I was getting no further with NatWest. However here we are six months later and with RM I find I am still no further forward. I should have just takem my initial results to the Insurance Ombudsman.

 

Three weeks ago I emailed a complaint to RM relating to unsatisfactory service, NO reply yet.

 

Any one with thoughts?

We initially contact Debt Doctor last year after hearing about their service on the radio (interview)! After a visit by Mark O'Connor who took a statement of all the details! A follow up call was made by a female working for Claims Warehouse, a further full statement was given, we paid our money and then nothing for almost a year - following almost weekly emails for an update we finally received a letter from Claims Warehouse asking us to sign over the 'case' to them - a shock as we though we were being managed by them! It turns out our file has been managed by Ratio Money! Still heard nothing for months, then out out of the blue a telephone call from Ratio Money saying that what Claims Warehouse had done was illegal as they were already handling our case!

 

Interesting because I kept asking for the name of the solicitor who had been allocated our file from both agents- NOTHING - I am now worried as the recovery agent (Paragon Finance) has now issued a CCJ ---

Anyone else out there having problems with these 2 agencies! I need to make quick choices now what to do! We contest the loan agreement! It is as far as we know unlawful (being over 12 years old now with no resolution) the amount has shot up from an original loan of £5,000 which had almost been paid to over £21,000 following 'daily interest charges' which we had no information about, no notice of, no agreement to - Anyone else out there having similar issues! Please contact us.

RatioMoney have McKay Law in touch with me re. one of the two credit card agreements and ML have written to tell me that a barrister has been instructed to have a look at the agreement and will report back. This may not be helpful but shows that they are actrive..................

Has Paragon Finance actually obtained a CCJ, or have they just issued proceedings. If they have already obtained a CCJ, they should have produced the agreement in court. If it hasn't got to court yet, you can use valuable support on this site to defend a claim where the claimant does not have a bone fide agreement.

I would suggest you contact Paul Walton for help. Here is a thread that may be of interest.

I thought I'd give Ratio Money a try, so I could exact a bit of revenge on the bank for some awful customer service when I was ill. So far my experiences mirror most of the folks on here, poor communication and very little progress other than cases being passed around from solicitor to solicitor.

 

I've long given up on actually making any progress. What I'm concerned about now is not being landed with any legal bills.

 

I've been told by Ratio that both of my claims look to be non compliant. One has been passed to solicitors, the other is due to be passed to solicitors. Am I correct in thinking that assuming the solicitors confirm there's a claim, that the next step would be to sign some sort of agreement with that solicitor?

 

If I pulled the plug now without signing anything, would I likely have anything further to pay?

 

Not sure what to do yet, I simply don't want to find myself with a huge bill for a punt which looks (so far) to have been unsuccessful.

Hi the case has not gone to court yet, we have to return the CCJ documents by next Firday! Were getting desperate now as no one seems to be able to help us!

[cerberusalert]

They'll explain how to fill in the court forms etc.

these firms who use the excuse that they are NOT answerable to the paying client are very much mistaken. They are & those who refuse to provide information are acting unlawfully

 

Now that you now they have your file/data send them a SAR & lets see them get outta that one;)

[JonCris]

PS Loancheck its' been alleged may also be data farmers for the collections industry

 

Did or do they have any addresses in either Nottingham or Redhill?

This confirms my wider fears! Has anyone had any dealings with RARIO MONEY who were the original company handing my cliam ? They too seem to have gone to ground although when I spoke to the broker this morning who was very helpful she seemed to be suggesting contact with them is almost imposible!

Following advice on this forum, I have just spoken to the Debt helpline who were very very helpful (why did I not call them before) --- their 100% advice is speak to a solicitor who I have just contacted waiting for reply!

 

they offered further advice: if after all this circus the claim is enforceable, we could lodge a 'tomlin order' which means as I believe the CCJ is changed allowing for a settlement and repayments to be made, if I heard correct the order is made against the original amount of £7,000 no the £22,000 (almost) Paragon Finance are suggesting! Anyone else heard of a 'Tomlin Oder' ?

Hi thank you for this information it makes very interesting reading, I hope our case does not need a 'tomlin order' but is finally heard however, a silver linning on a dirty dark cloud!

[Billy goat gruff]

I spoke to a solicitor yesterday who was handling one of my cases and he has heard nothing from Ratio and can not move it forward until he does. In terms of the poor customer service and lack of updates etc I would urge everyone to start the complaints process off. There are a number of introducers out there who are as culpable as Ratio as well namely UK Logical and Guardian GB the latter promised the earth and claim they are different cos they have barristers on board etc - however when I quizzed them in January theyre guy clammed up and could only say "it will be at least 9 months" before any progress. Im at the stage where I wish I was never taken in by the piffle peddled by Ratio and the introducers to them.
