Bank details for lewis group debt recovery anyone ?

[Honeypot]

Hi There

 

Does anyone know the account number and sort code for the Lewis Debt Recovery Group based in Yorkshire ?

 

I have run out of payment slips and need to make a payment.

 

I rung them and they wouldn't give me the details as I refused to go through a in depth review of my account !

 

Thanks

Hi dx100Uk

 

Yeah its on my file. Its a bank account debt. They've stopped charges and accepted token payments. My payment is due today and I use payment slips but have run out. They wont give me their bank details over the phone. Can't understand it !!

 

Thought maybe someone on here might have them ??

 

Never known such a weird DCA. Most DCA's have their payment details stamped all over their letters !!

If you want to make a payment that is definitely due with no issues, then it might be worth seeing if you can make this online on the Lewis site.

Hi unclebulgaria67

 

Yeah tried that and the 'make a payment' link is down !!

[dx100uk]

Barclays Bank own it. It's a bank account.

[dx100uk]

then why are you paying lewis?

 

pay Barclays directly by YOUR internet banking portal

[Honeypot]

I am paying Lewis because the account was closed, defaulted then terminated by Barclays.

It has been passed to them for collection (not sold).

[dx100uk]

then cut them out pay Barclays directly.

 

you don't know how much of your payment they are taking in fees

nor how much they are adding for their 'service'

 

have you ever SAR'd Barclays to findout how much of this debt is PENALTY charges?

I tried paying Barclays directly but they said my account number was closed and I have to pay in to these new account number at Lewis Group

[dx100uk]

have you been getting statements from Barclays on this.

showing the 'debt' reducing?

how much is outstanding?

do you payments SHOW on the CRa file?

 

something smells here

 

what is the defaulted date from the CRa file?

 

was this ac not part of your BK years ago then?

[Honeypot]

This is all I've had regarding the account-

 

A letter from Barclays saying account will be closed, defaulted and terminated in due course. Please cut up your debit card etc.

 

A letter from Barclays saying they will accept token payments on the account as a goodwill gesture.

 

A letter saying account is now terminated and that I will receive correspondence from Lewis Group regarding paying it back.

 

A letter from Lewis Group with a Barcalys logo on it saying they will accept my token payment and sent a bunch of payment slips.

 

That's all I've had in the last 14 months.

 

Amount £420 when Barclays wrote first letter saying they are closing account.

 

Paid £2 per month on time for last 14 months so balance should be £392 now.

 

Have had no statements at all.

 

Not looked at CRA file so think best I do so !

 

Do you think I should ring Lewis Group and ask for a up to date statement ?

[dx100uk]

no!!

 

get the cra file se if the payments you have made this last 14mts are showing.

 

are there any PENALTY charges involved in this?

 

if there are

no wonder Barclays sold it!!

Hi Honeypot,

 

I wonder if a SAR to Barclays may be the best way forward here, if you can afford the £10 fee.

 

That will show how much they added in default charges; when those charges were made; what interest was added; when the interest was charged.

 

If they added charges and/or interest AFTER they were aware, or after they SHOULD have been aware, that you were in Financial Difficulty, then the bank failed in it's duty to abide by The Lending Code.

 

You can ask the bank to refund such charges made since March 2011. See the Article here - http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/content.php?557-Letter-for-an-application-for-consideration-for-hardship
