CUSTOMER REFERENCE: M********

 

Dear ***** ***********

 

 

• This email is important - please read it carefully
  
• You are being offered compensation - you do not need to take any action
  

Why are we writing to you?

We are writing to you because you either currently hold, or previously held, an account with Provident Personal Credit and your account was legally assigned to Motormile Finance UK Limited (MMF) who are the current owners.

 

MMF agreed with the regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), to conduct a review and where appropriate, a customer redress scheme, in respect of its loan portfolios and the scheme was overseen by the FCA.

 

The purpose of the scheme was to establish whether the information held by MMF was sufficient to formally evidence the original agreement entered into by you and whether MMF could validate the sums outstanding under the agreement.

 

In the spirit of the new regulatory framework imposed by the FCA as of 1 April 2014, MMF is no longer satisfied the information it holds in respect of your account is sufficient for the above purposes. We have therefore agreed with the FCA that we will voluntarily write off the remaining balance on your account.

What does this mean for me?

 

The write-down applied to your outstanding balance is £233.00

 

Your current outstanding balance is £0.00

 

What do you need to do now?

You do not need to take any further action in order to accept this offer of redress.

 

If you have a current Standing Order in place, please ensure you cancel this with immediate effect to ensure no further monies are collected.
