Evening All

 

I have received a rather weird email from MYJAR today regarding an account which I can confirm I will raising the Fraud flag against (Think struggle with MMF)

 

Anyway... MyJAR have sent an email advising that a loan was taken on 09/08/2011 and was due back on the 24/08/2011. However the email i received today included is listed below and attached were 3 attachments.

 

(Obviously this isnt mine otherwise it would have been settled by now)

 

Dear Fkofilee

 

Default Notice

This letter is important – please do not ignore it

 

We have contacted you several times regarding your unpaid loan but have not received payment from you – the balance now stands at £247.00.

 

We are now giving you 14 days’ notice of our intention to register a default against you. The default notice together with an information leaflet issued by the Financial Conduct Authority is attached to this message.

 

Registering a default is the step that we must take before we are able to take legal action against you. You can avoid this by repaying the money you owe or by contacting us and making a repayment arrangement. You must act without delay to prevent the default being registered.

 

You can make repayment

Now my question is, shouldn't this account have defaulted in 2011? Yet they are going to issue a default notice in 2015?!?!?!?!?!

 

Wasnt there something against that? Also this debt hasn't ever appeared on my credit profile with EXP or CCRED, So if they issue a default against it, surely i should have grounds to challenge it on that basis?

 

The PDFs have been filtered for personal info so please feel free to give me advice on this one... I am stomped...

Surely if you genuinely have no idea what this is, first step is to send prove-it letter, modified with something like "I have no recollection of the loan you claim I took out and, in the absence of your proving within 14 days that I did, I will report the matter as fraud."

 

Stomped? That'll be the mulled wine.

Hi Oleg, I will be doing that,

 

But what im getting at is the time between them opening the account but also sending the default notice and defaulting it 4 years later...

If it's not your loan just tell them in writing and if they insist report it as fraud.

One way to be 100% sure that this hasn't got anything to do with you could be to get a credit report and check if the loan is registered there.

It might be a case of identity theft (unlikely given the small amount) or they're just trying it on to gain some cash before Christmas

I think you might need to speak with the Information Commissioner in respect of this.

King, I respect your input here, I disagree with this and what youve put. Ive already had close to 7 loan accounts written off because of the identity theft case I am currently fighting... All similar amounts etc... But lets leave it at that...

 

I think you might need to speak with the Information Commissioner in respect of this.

 

CitB ... Welcome to my nightmare. Its like MMF all over again.

I thought youd say that. DX said a change in the ICOs stand on defaults etc makes it a very grey topic.

 

What im shooting for is just how lawful there actions have been in the last 24 hours... So you deffo think ICO On this one?

If this were me, I would be making complaints to both the ICO and the FOS, although TBH, I rather suspect that you might find this a hard slog to get the outcome you require.

Well, you don't really disagree then?!

What I said is that as this loan was not taken by you, you're no liable to repay it.

Unfortunately the battle against id theft you've been fighting seems to be still on.

As you've managed to deal with other 7 loans, I suspect you're more then aware of the procedure to deal with this one as well.

You said the "Unlikely given the small amount..." I was just responding to that comment ^__^

 

Yeah its still ongoing sadly. Ive had good success but its still tough sadly.

I will get this written off and I know im not liable however I was querying their actions and processes because of the massive difference in when the Default date should have been and when they want to default it.

Well that escalated quickly. Checked the FCA register and found the email addy for the Compliance Honcho and also the CEO.

Their staff believe that its reasonable what they are doing telling me that I will have a default on my credit profile till 2021... Apparently this loan was taken in 2011...

 

How is that fair? This isnt even my loan...

 

Anyway emails have gone to the CEO and Compliance Head. Hes already come back telling me he'll look at it...

Right well an update for you wonderful people.

 

I emailed their Compliance Boss who said they are now beginning to report to the CRAs but in the exception they WILL NOT be doing this for me.

I asked in great detail about why they were doing this and they advised that they had been contacted by the FCA regarding their trading practices and told to shape up or move out.

 

Regardless though i do not agree that 3 years on is fair to default an account as such. Its similar to what Welcome Finance used to do.

Then it needs to be challenged as unfair and reported to the FCA what they are doing.

Simple... You are constantly borrowing from them... That is a sign of money management issues on paper.

Doesn't mean you have money issues though :)

 

Think of it as a saving grace :)

Eugh, Sorry to say but this case has reared its ugly head.

 

After them saying they were going to remove it, now its appeared on my credit file!!

:sigh: Its disgraceful that they cant sort this out...

 

They've had 3 chances to sort this out. Ive formally notified them that they have 7 days to amend the information and remove it or, Im going to initiate a small claims. Any other advice I should follow?

I want to go for the throat! ARGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you have the letter saying they will remove it, send a copy to the CRA. If the CRA says no because myjar says it is there legit, THEN take SCC action providing you have followed correct Pre action protocol.
