Advice needed on next steps with Motormile finance

[BRIGADIER2JCS]

MMF have suddenly in the last few months returned to the threatening and intimidating practices that they used in the past, fighting back against this is absolutely necessary, there is a ''new'' regime'' in their management that either has forgotten what went on before or have not been made aware of it, yes ignore them, then gather information for a complaint to the OFT, I have some already in lace.

Cheers Brig - I'll just ignore them and keep the e mails - are you of the opinion that they would do a doorstep visit for £200?

 

I have to say im surprised e mail is the only communication ive had.

[BRIGADIER2JCS]

Yes this e-mailing of threatograms is growing, it's even been done by sms I'm told.

They are so unpredictable imo there are seious flaws in their front line management allowing this to taqke place.

Just thought I would add a bit to the argument.

 

I had the same email as above, but they do not have my address, and no phone number.

I had fraud committed in my name by my ex tenant.

5 Payday loans were put into a dormant account I had which my tenant at the time somehow resurrected,

The police dealt with 3 but 2 of them QQ and Uncle *uck would not go through the process and ignored my pleas.

Motormouth contacted me, well after it was all sorted asking for money, that was 2 years ago. After tons of prove it emails back and forth, and even giving them the crime reference number i had, it went quiet. Now they have started again.

 

Thanks to this site I love it as I know how to handle them.

In all honestly Im glad they are back in my life lol,, as after sorting all my mess out last year, I was missing the arguments a bit.

Just an update guys received a further mail tonight - short but sweet this time but im amazed to be receiving stuff at 10pm on a friday night:

 

Message for Mr xxxxxx.

Please contact us to arrange home visit appointment date.

Call Home Visit Department 01138876876 , ref.xxxxxxx

 

So much for the 5 days they quoted yesterday

[toshyboy]

Hi all

Further update I've today (indirectly) received a notice of assignment from uncle buck informing me they've sold the debt to motormile. . It went to an address I've not lived at for over 5 years.

 

Would this alter any of the advice you guys gave me above?

 

I've not heard off motormile for over a week now but they were chasing me well in advance of the notice of assignment letter date

Thanks

OP here with today's update - sent telephone harrassment and doorstep letters - these were signed for on 25th. I've continued to get (lots of) emails and phone calls, and threatening texts. Today's text reads 'unless you call us urgently on (number) an agent will call at your property unannouced. So I'll be getting on to the OFT. Is there anything else I should be doing? Obviously, if they do turn up I know my rights and they'll be told where to go...

[BRIGADIER2JCS]

Formal Complaint re calls and e-mails and threatened visit.

Hi nonymouse - did anyone make a visit??

 

After almost 3 weeks of silence from mm i've had the below e mail today subjected Home Visit Appointment:

Message for Mr xxxxxx.

Please contact us to arrange home visit appointment date. Call Home Visit Department 01138876876 , ref.xxxxxx

[nonymouse]

No visit yet, although to be fair I haven't been at home very much. I shall wait with baited breath for the doorbell to ring...

[sillygirl1]

Forward their threat texts to the SPAM number of your mobile phone provider, that way they get passed up the chain....

 

This lot are chasing me for a non-debt too, it was repaid in 2008!

 

Let the OFT know that this lot are playing hardball and sending increasingly threatening texts and emails (haven't had them yet but then they don't have my email!.

 

They only have an old address of mine (I moved out 4 1/2 years ago now) and can't link me - so why are they pestering me!

The more it goes on the more i think its an empty threat - I've literally just had the same e mail as this morning come through again - word for word just 8 hours apart

 

Starting to smack a bit of desperation now - i'm surprised i havent received any letters though. Purely e mails although they dont have my mob as the alleged "debt" is over 4 years old

[Sillyboywyn]

I had an email from these guys overnight, got filed in the round bin as i know it goes back to Jan 2007. Its been long enough for me to now ignore this one.

[sillygirl1]

Don't delete the email, keep it and add it to a formal complaint to Rob Sands, Compliance Director.

 

This lot phoned again last night and said they were sending a representative round, but they can not link me to the address they have - I've lived here for 4 1/2 years and haven't had a PDL in that time, last time I had one was 2008.

 

Complain to the OFT - I asked for a copy of MMFs complaints procedure two weeks ago, nothing has been received, so I am now complaining to the OFT.

[Sillyboywyn]

Who is Rob Sands? where does he work at Sillygirl?

[BRIGADIER2JCS]

Robert Sand is COMPLIANCE DIRECTOR AT MOTOR MILE FINANCE Ltd.

[sillygirl1]

Rob Sands is their Cinoliance Director.

 

Yet another text from a mobile received today, forwarded to O2 spam line.

[toshyboy]

Had a further e mail today:

 

"URGENT message for Mr xxxx. Your agreed repayment plan is now in default. Please contact MMF on 01138876876 immediately quoting reference xxxxxxx"

 

Funny that I've not agreed any repayment plan at all

[BRIGADIER2JCS]

Probably best ignored for now.

[sillygirl1]

Do what I've just done, report them to the FOS.

 

FOS said they could only do company that sent me to MMF but I got complaint in on both!

[Sillyboywyn]

FOS and OFT complaint, already done both myself. Pond **** and ignore them, they are chasing me for a SB debt lol, only via email though as they have address details 6 years old.

[BRIGADIER2JCS]

If you want to be free of MMF then send an SB letter is there really any point on hanging it out?

[toshyboy]

had a further e mail today - been getting 2/3 a week asking me to contact them for home visit appt but now had this:

 

"Please contact MMF office on 01138876876 to pre-book a Home Visit appointment, otherwise our doorstep agent may have to arrive unannounced. Ref :XXXXXXX"

 

Has anyone actually had a visit from MMF in relation to Uncle Buck debt?

[dx100uk]

[toshyboy]

Hi Guys

Had a further e mail today upping the ante:

"This is notice I will arrive unannounced within 4 days. Mike – MMF Agent. Call the office if you wish to make an appointment 0800 9961103. Ref:xxxxx"

 

Just continuing to ignore them as still had no letters through just e mails which all seem to be at random times either late at night or on weekends/bank holidays
