has anyone had a positive outcome from these monsters?

[dylan02]

having problems with minicredit, and from a loan of £100 it has already jumped to over £300 in 2 weeks, ive read and read these forums and cant find anyone that has been dealt with positively, there is no proper email address for them,have sent some via their website but they are not traceable so no proof as to what ive said, no other method of paying them apart from debit card, mine has been cancelled and money secured etc, anyone got an email address for them? anyone got bank details for them? how can i pay them without a debit card?? any help with letters or info for them would be great.

I got mine passed to OPOS and then offered a full and final settlement lower than what the original loan and interest was, and paid it with no problems at all.

how long did it take for them to pass it to opus? and did you ask them to do this? and how did you pay? i really dont want to give them my new debit card details? thank you

[Sillyboywyn]

Took about 6 weeks from when i asked for a "hardship activation", Then OPOS sent me an email. In the 6 weeks i had put a complaint into the OFT and got a reference number, the compllaint outlined how Minicredit had put pn so many charge etc. I included the OFT ref in the email back to OPOS and then a family member paid for me with their debit card, also recorded the call and got all offers in wirting.

really appreciate your reply, thank you. did you do the hardship activation online? did you do the oft complaint by email and if so do you have their email address to hand?

Whatever you do, never give them your debit card details or they will more than likely raid your bank account. Only pay them by standing order/bacs or faster payment. Loan plus one months interest only per OFT guidelines, all their other charges are scandalous to put it mildly.

the trouble with minicredit, and have read this alot on here, you dont seem to be able to pay them any other way, they wont give you bank details or let you pay by any other method than a debit card, so not sure what do to.

I missed a payment back in June due to the Natwest problems and my salary not being paid in on time, which sent me into a financial tailspin which I am still chasing the Natwest for compensation over (have got £300 so far).

 

I sent Microcredit a recorded delivery letter and an email, both of which they never responded too, and a follow up reminder was also sent. I have had no correspondence from them since June, or their recovery agency OPUS. My account is blocked on-line now but the last time I was able to check, 31st July, the claimed outstanding amount was £1119.00 from a £450.00 principal loan. So, I waited the 8 weeks and have written a letter of complaint to the FOS stating they are failing to communicate in writing as I expressly requested detailing the breakdown of the amount they claimed I owed which was about £700ish at the time I wrote the letter...

 

I also recorded receiving a text from them saying they were aware of the Natwest problems in advance of the due date but would attempt to collect anyway and failure would result in additional charges blah blah. I had my bank account frozen and swapped my DDs and salary payment onto another account as a precautionary measure after hearing horror stories on the internet of unauthorized debits etc. and I have since closed the account.

 

The complaint was made to the FOS on the 31st July so hopefully I will get a response in the next week or so.

 

I have no problem paying the principal + 1 months interest, but if they can't be bothered to communicate they won't receive a penny and I will be seeking damages via the FOS for stress and my time in resolving the matter, which will include writing to the three credit reference agencies with the outcome of the FOS investigation.

 

It is only a matter of time until the new bill will be passed in Parliament that will give the OFT the power to [deal with] these companies either into bankruptcy or prison

Oh and it looks like they like to play musical offices as well, their address in June was

 

30 Borough High Street, London SE1 1XU

 

and is now

 

85 - 87 Borough High Street, London SE1 1NH

 

Stops the letters hitting the right office...

hi yes please, do you have a letter that i could send to fos etc. minicredit are being so threatening and im worried sick, the latest email says if i dont pay by feb i will owe £1866!! for a £100 loan! i geniuely have a very serious illness and the stress is making me worse, i have had managed to get repayment plans with wonga, txt loans (who were brilliant i have to say and the best so far for sorting out) and payday express, who are also a pain, any help you can give would be brill

[rippedoff15]

No. i have been trying to pay via bank transfer since the end on Oct 12, now they state my debt is £565.00 and still growing, but they will give the details once the debt is with their collector, which will add fees BLACKMAIL. Just want to pay them but they refuse my payment.

[jh35]

hi there, get reporting to FOS, have you tried to contact mini credit, i had numerous emails requesting repayment plan, tell them you are willing to pay initial loan, plus 1 months interest. Put a formal complaint into mini credit, wit for there response which will be a load of crap.

[sharpend]

the latest email says if i dont pay by feb i will owe £1866!! for a £100 loan!

 

ROFL - Tell em to take you to court. Id like to see them tell a judge the above !!
