A little Lowell problem - Statements, or lack of.

[Vhee]

I've not been able to find this problem already, so apologies if the answer is sitting out there and I've just missed it.

 

Several months ago Lowell took over a debt I had been making regular payments on. No biggie - I still am making the payments, but their initial statement that they sent and my records did not match up. It seems they acquired the debt around the same time I made a payment to the previous company, leaving the amount on their records and the amount on mine out by £50.

 

I know £50 isn't a great deal of money, but I wanted to make sure it was in the right place. After contacting Lowell by email twice and getting nowhere, I finally wrote to them asking for them to supply me with a full statement showing the balance of the account when they acquired it and all payments made since. That was over a month ago, my third attempt to get information that surely isn't that difficult. It's not that I've even stopped paying them, I just want to make sure that missing payment ends up where it should be.

 

Can someone advise on the wording for a second letter (fourth time the information has been requested) that will make them take notice and do as I ask?

 

Thank you in advance

Ask Lowells for a copy of their complaints process and follow it. You may be able to use the FOS.

You should certainly write to them now under the heading of "formal complaint".

 

Send it to their head office.

Well I finally managed to get a statement out of them. Thanks for the advice

What is the debt, and why are you paying Lowlifes, who is the original creditor?
