Ignore the interest and fee's. You only owe the amount stated when it went to a DMP. MMF are a terrible DCA and will do anything they can to hike up debts, or force people to pay debts that are unenforceable.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

they keep on ringing emailing ect and threatening a home visit

i have told them that they are not allowed to enter my property and if they do i will have the person arrested for trespass but they say that they can take pics of my standard of living from the road

 

what im worried about is i live in a block of flats on the ground floor and im worried that they will try and take pics throu my window and i have 2 kids here

Send them the telephone harassment letter and read the Doorstep collectors thread.

 

If they take pics like that, then they will be very very sorry. I bet they told you that on the phone and not in a letter right?

The regular advise here is if discounts are offered by DCAs then there's a big problem with the debt. Afterall why would these fleecers take less money when if enforceable they could rightfully get the full amount owed to them?

 

I'd say to send them a letter from the library about telephone harassment and also the doorstep threat letter.

 

It's worth baring in mind that these clowns do actually follow their threats through and have previously turned up at people's property. Of course, they have no rights or powers.... They knock your door, you tell them to foxtrot Oscar, if they fail to leave, phone the police, record them on you're camera phone.

 

Sending the doorstep letter should stop them from turning up unannounced.

 

Can you not get in touch with your DMP and tell them this is a debt that you had forgotten about and see if they'll add it (minus the unenforceable charges and fees) to your DMP?

It never rains but it pours...

Report them to the FOS and OFT, that offer letter shows that they have very little hope of getting the alleged amount they claim is owed.

 

I've got my complaint in, two texts after eachother every other day, followed by a telephone call -- for a debt which was repaid in 2008! They also cannot get me past 'security' as the address they have is over 6 years old.

 

They also failed to send a copy of their complaints procedure when requested and continue to ring and text.

 

Luckily the only email they have for me is very old and I haven't used it in over a year - so I don't get these threats.

Hi

 

Ive also had this email!! large reductions on the loan. For an Uncle b loan Debt o/s is now £95. UB sold the debt to MMf having already taken interest and charges off, the balance being £115. I don't really have an issue with this as the loan was £150 and defaulted on!! However I have found the amount of calls and text messages over the top. the brig is building up a complaints file against them.

 

It will be interesting to see how they respond.....

Got a partial response off Uncle Buck, I HAD repaid the loan and they incorrectly passed it on - so I am now chasing UB for financial compensation - if I don't get a reply back on Tuesday I will start charging them at the rate they would charge me.... 17 texts at £25 per text, plus phone calls, plus emails etc all mounts up.

 

Going for a reasonable £150 off them and then £350 off MMF as they deserve to be hammered.

Not sure ringing them is a good idea, stay off the phone so you have a written evidence chain and not what MMF interpret verbally. Are you sure it was MMF who knocked?

You need to file a full complaint to their compliance manager and a full complaint to the oft.

Hi,

I'm too running into issues with these guys once again. As with many of these situations its been brought from Uncle Buck. I have at the start of this was not aware of this forum and the deceitful these guys operate, foolishly talked to one of their friendly reps!!!. Anyway long story short it didn't get far I try to get the original loan amount but they would not give it, then I asked if I could setup payment plan, yes no problem so I asked if I could have their bank details, oh boy talk about hitting a raw nerve. The rep literally went off the deep end ultimately he said that it was company policy not to accept that and they promised that they would only take the amount agreed upon. I may have been naive then but allowing someone free access to my account and to take their word only that amount to be taken no way!!!. So I left with them to let me know if they want it. Obviously not. So to today had someone park opposite the house pretending to talk on phone whilst not to clever taking photos of the house next door. Anyway to cut long story short I have been having texts, emails etc sent to me with threats which as of yet nothing has happened, touch wood. Today I received a text with a warning that they will seek a ccj and also instruct a bayleaf to come round and take what they need and also include cars etc.. nice!!. Should I be worried about this or is it case of posturing since they have not got a rise out of me. Please advise the best way forward.

Regards

:madgrin:H Yarrakid,

 

MMFs delusions of authority again no doubt assessing your 'life style', they have to get a CCJ first then you have to fail to meet the judgement time to let them know they've been spotted 'loitering with intent to be stupid!:madgrin:
