Just a thought but on the electoral register forms that you fill in,

 

 

did you ask to be omitted from the edited version?

 

 

If you didn't they can trace you that way, or they may have used tracesmart website.

 

From there they could use social media to find your workplace, its not that hard sadly.

Well when I thought everything was progressing well with my complaint,

I now today received a letter and another questionnaire to be completed from dial4 A Loan ?

 

I spoke to Welcome Finance Complaints dept and they advised that complaint has now been passed to the broker ?

Does anyone know if this is correct or experienced the same thing ?

 

Is it just another stalling tactic by Welcome ?

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Thanks

so that clarifies that then

 

but they are saying that they cannot pass on previously submitted details ???

 

Its becoming rather annoying now and rather frustrating.

 

There isn't even a telephone contact number for dial4 A Loan

 

- does anyone know why this is ?

 

I will have to resubmit details to dial4 A Loan ?

 

 

I am a bit confused as I have no correspondence from them only details from Welcome ?

Yes I have thanks dx and up-dated spreadsheet.

 

 

Shall I just copy and re-send to dial4 A Loan ?

 

 

Do I need to contact FOS or just await reply from Dial 4 A Loan ?

 

 

At the end of my tether with these cowboys at the moment !

Ok thanks again and will do so now. Will keep you posted on developments.

 

Sorry for a daft question

but what is the relation between dial 4 a loan and Welcome finance ?

 

 

Are they the broker ?

 

 

Also the PPI policy is with Norwich Union and trust they are the Underwriter ?

Just received reply from Dial4aLoan rejecting my complaint

due to complaint not being made within six years of sale ?

Also that they were not regulated by the FSA as sale was made before 2005 ?

 

They are now suggesting that I refer the complaint to Welcome again or Norwich Union ?

 

Any further help what to do next would be very much appreciated

or am I wasting my time as I am at the end of my tether with this lot :x

Thanks dx - is there a standard letter to reply with ?

 

Does the policy with Norwich Union / Aviva actually exist as been requesting details but to no avail ?

 

how can I find out if Aviva / Norwich Union subscribed to GISC Code ?

 

Do I now consider presenting misselling details to Underwiters ?

Apologies but I'm a bit of a novice at this but will try to explain as briefly as possible.

 

I took out a Secured Loan with Welcome Finance in November 2003 in which I was miss-sold PPI.

I received the relevant questionnaire from Welcome in which I completed and returned.

 

Next I receive a letter from Dial4aLoan (same address as Welcome?)

saying that they have been passed complaint details by Welcome Finance for investigation

and can you kindly provide Copy of Agreement details showing

insurance premium, documents relating to Dial4aLoan sale, status of account etc ?????

 

I have no recollection of ever having any contact with Dial4aLoan (obviously the Broker)

or ever receiving details from them but only with Welcome Finance / Progressive Financial Services ?

 

I spoke to Welcome about this who were rather unhelpful and said that the matter had been passed to the Broker to deal with.

 

I then had to write to Dial4aLoan (No telephone number provided ?) in which I received a reply stating that I would have to send £10 for details of the account to proceed or revert complaint back to Welcome or Norwich Union / Aviva .

 

last week I sent the standard SAR letter to Dial4aLoan with £10 cheque

(which has been cashed) requesting their response within 40 days.

 

Today I received their reply thanking payment and please find enclosed documentation that they hold on my file.

All they have supplied is a couple of badly photocopied dial4aLoan Broker Commission statements,

a BACS Remittance Advice letter from Welcome to Dial4aLoan again showing their commission, and copies of my previous correspondences to them !!!

 

Am I missing something here

was expecting a lot more as per SAR letter conditions ?

 

Any help would be appreciated as what to do next as this is becoming rather frustrating.

 

I have a Secured Loan with Welcome Finance since Nov 2003 in which is still active and on checking my Deeds from Land Registry they are not named on it but a company Progressive Loans ?

 

Sorry for a stupid question but does that imply that Welcome have no hold on my property and therefore it is not Secured by them ?

 

Can someone also advise when is or is not a Secured Loan enforceable ?

 

I am trying to complete spreadsheet - What Interest rate % do you enter ?

 

Also found the Fee Reclaim Letter as advised

but it mentions mortgage but mine is in respect of a Secured Loan,

sorry for silly question but is it one of the same or do I just change certain details ?

Thanks dx, so I have an APR of 20.1% (Welcome Finance) so just enter that ?

 

Also I have various charges

i.e

  1. unpaid direct debit,
  2. conversion default fee,
  3. conversion default interest,
  4. capitalisation fee,
  5. telephone charges and
  6. default sum fee interest.

Which of these can I not try to claim back ?

TBH, I dont really understand the question.

 

It is my understanding that Welcome finance is part of Cattles plc and Progessive finance is the name Welcome used to use until about 3 years ago.

 

I believe they then changed their name officially from Progressive Finace Ltd to Welcome Financial Services Limited.

 

As for your other question regarding whether or not the loan is enforceable - we would need to see a copy of the original agreement to determine that.

 

Are you still making payments to the loan ? Is it up to date with no arrears ? Is there any Payment Protection Insurance attached that might have been mis sold - a lot of Welcome finance PPI was. If so, then you could make an attempt to reclaim this.

Many thanks for your reply and thought as much, just checked Credit Agreement smallprint and does state trading as WFS.

 

Yes I am still making contractual payments on the loan but Welcome are chasing for some old arrears from 2008 hence my question. I refuse to settle until proof provided.

 

As for PPI, I have already submitted complaint but WFS passed to Dial4aLoan ????? Its all getting a bit complicated as SAR details received were atrocious and incomplete !

If the SAR was incomplete then you can either ask them for the data you believe to be missing or escalate your complaint to the Information Commissioner.

 

I am not sure how Dial4aloan enters the equation !! If they have gone past the 8 weeks for your complaint to be dealt with, then you can escalate that to the Financial Ombudsman :)

Thanks again for your reply but it seems that WFS have just passed to Dial4aLoan who were the broker supposedly ?

Have no recollection of any dealings with them only WFS and still no forthcoming info confirming this ?

 

I have also submitted a SAR to WFS anyway to see what they come up with.

 

 

Regarding Dial4aLoan reply, they still have another 30 days to respond but seems like their final response ?

 

 

Should I follow-up requesting they confirm this and take it from there ?

Yes, ask them to confirm they have issued their final response because you have only 6 months from that to make a complaint to the Ombudsman :)
