hi i have received an answer phone message saying to pay the loan etc , so i have emailed them saying i want a payment plan and im not making part payment while they keep putting on charges .the balance is 308 pounds now in 2 weeks on a 100 pound loan .

here is the email At the moment You are refusing to make partly payments although You were told that we accept any partly payments towards the balance until we start Legal action.

 

The due date was on the 20th of June 2011 and the loan has been overdue for 16 days already. 

 

All the charges will be added until full repayment and the account should be cleared within 90 days from the due date to avoid legal action.

 

We accept partly payments You make on Your MiniCredit.co.uk account, but we do not offer payment plans and freeze the balance.

 

 

The Court will also see that You have not made any payments towards the balance voluntarily and it will also be taken into consideration and provides us the possibility to claim the Attachment of Earnings for the County Court Judgement.

 

 

 

 

Kind regards

Hi there

 

Im in the same situation as everyone else re mini credit except for that I have never recived an email just a letter stating someone will be round and I owe them £500.00 for a £100.00 loan, £80.00 which I only received as in the small print it say they charge £20.00 to deposit the money?

 

I have emailed and email, tried to call and no joy. I have saved the loan plus one months interest and have set it aside in order to pay a full and final settlement.

 

I have no idea how this company is allowed to trade under these circumstances. Its scarey and extreamly intimidating behaviour.

Hi guys, you might want to read this you may find it very interesting and helpful.

 

Mini credit are C**** - I will explain in a moment.

I have had every type of credit going! I am 21 and in £8,000 worth of debt. I have acquired this debt in 12 months. I am not proud of this and recently have been very upset and worried, however I turned to the CCCS who are a charity which help people who are in debt who want to help themselves. I am now on a DMP paying back £162 a month to ALL of my creditors. I shall be debt free in just over 4 years. The creditors have frozen interest and stoped calling as they are now getting regular monthly payments from a trusted source.

My creditors include

Shop direct (very, additions, little woods etc)

JD Williams

Studio 24

Santander

Lloyds TSB

Natwest

 

And the dreaded payday loans (used pretty much all of them)

Cash genie

247 Money box

Mini credit

1 month loan

Capital finance one

Payday express

Tooth fairy finance

Txt loan

Mini credit are the WORST creditor (if you can even call them that) EVER!

 

I had a £100 loan in April. I only received £80.00

It is now the 11th July and the balance stands at £627.00

I have emailed them hundreds of times to get no response, I have spoke to them on the phone and offered them full & final settlement of the original loan plus 1 months interest and the least they would accept was £350 – I told them to whistle!!!

They threaten you with debt collector and to contact your employer.

However I would like to inform you that they don’t send these debt collectors and they don’t contact your employer – these are scare tactics to get you to pay up.

 

It is actually ILLEGAL for a bailiff to enter your property unless a CCJ has been filed against you and you have missed a payment through the court. It is also illegal for them to discuss your dealings with them as they would of not passed data protection.

A CCJ is where the judge looks at your income/outcome and 9/10 will award with the payments you offered in the first place anyway as you cannot give the money you don’t have!

So keep to your guns keep emailing mini credit (so you have proof you tried to make offers)

 

The CCCS made them a monthly offer and I haven’t heard anything back from Mini credit yet so I am unsure if they have agreed to my plan but they are still accepting the money.

Also DO NOT PAY on their website £5.50 processing fee? JOG ON SUNSHINE… that should be £5.50 off your loan total but its just another crafty way of getting money.

 

Also report to the finical ombudsman I have and am awaiting a response.

 

Finally MINI CREDIT IF YOU ARE READING THIS-

How F****** actually are you?

No wonder you are finding it so difficult to get money out of people who have got themselves into a position where they are unable to pay it back… you don’t accept payment plans!!

Would it not make more sense to accept a plan with someone over 6 months and get the money back then have the hassle of going through the courts to get it back then having to wait about 2 years???? Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Good luck guys!!

Hiya, I wouldnt worry too much about these, they are horrid to deal with, and will bombard you with allsorts of mail / email but it is all just scare mongering to try and force you to pay over the odds. Personally I would carry on doing what you are doing (writing/emailing), then if you get no response wait for it to go to DCA. If you can save a F&F settlement then happy days, but i would not be paying them anymore than the original £100 (hard cheese I think for the £20 fee - although you could contect this seperately) + 1 months interest minus what you have already paid (including the daylight robbery £5.50 charge). Work out what you owe then when it is transferred to the DCA pay them the amount via bank transfer (you could consider charging them £20 for same day payment lol). Job done - they should go whistle for the rest!!!!!

All you owe Minicredit is the original loan and one months interest - nothing more. They are trying to fleece you.

 

Get complaining to the OFT and Trading Standards now otherwise you are wasting time posting on here.

I have offered thema repayment plan countless times on the phone, offered to send them bankstatements to prove I can not afford to pay the lump sum but I just keep being told that at minicredit they don't offer payment plans and my interest will keep building up. What would I say if I did complain to OFT/Trading Standards? Would it not be dismissed because I am in the wrong because I haven't paid?

They would be in the wrong not you, you have tried to pay and the are refusing. They have no leg to stand on.

 

Complain to

 

http://www.consumerdirect.gov.uk for the Office of Fair Trading

http://www.tradingstandards.gov.uk for Trading Standards

 

Whilst both organisations don't deal with individual complaints the more complaints they get against a company the better.....
