quite right post but probrably not intelligent enough to be a DCA

 

To be a DCA you have pass certain tests:

 

1. Spell there own name correctly..... this is where most DCAs fail....but to be honest anyone can spell t..t

2. Be able to Sell there granny to the highest bidder.....

3. Be able to threaten a single female until she cries.....normally mastered after one training session

4. be able to Act dead hard in front of a 10 year old....again normally mastered after one training session

5. Be able to lie, cheat, have no manners, deceive, threaten and be plain pig ignorant.

 

... actually come to think of it... i think you may be right post...

Hi All

Can anyone suggest anything we can do further to get WF off our credit record? With great help on here (especially postggj), we had a CCJ set aside then Cohens 'discontinued' before it went to trial. However, that still leaves us with a blot on our credit file (no Default tho) of missed payments showing. Also we were surprised to receive a Statement from WF the other day, with added Court Costs! I was told on here that the debt could not be sold to a DCA now - how can that be? And if they are sending us Statements then surely they can just start the whole thing off again?!!!

Any help or suggestions as to where I can get further help on this will be much appreciated.

Thankyou everyone, Pru

I feel the Fat Lady is limbering up for one hell of a Grand Finale.....

[T2upNorth]

Just a thought... maybe we should analyse the frequency and volume of WF disputes over the last few months... I'm curious if they will be increasingly aggressive with their chasing, partly to attempt to sweeten the books for any potential buyer, but also because their dogs, sorry I mean agents, are looking for one more fat commission before the fat lady sings, and they have to sing for their supper... just a thought

[EBOY]

I think what is obvious is that they are using every tatic possible to delay any complaints against them. I am just surprised they hjaven't been handed a big fine yet for failing to provide basic details. If they do somehow manage to pull thru the complaints won't just disappear.

Hello Postggj,

 

Just wondered if you had the chance to look at the agreement in post #6771 yet.

I can't get the figures to add up at all and have tried several combinations.

 

Many thanks.

Thats happening already, like i pointed out last Friday they have offered me a 50% discount if i pay in one lump sum, they are trying to desperately to swell the Cattles coffers in a lame hope that someone might be silly enough to purchase whats left of the disgusting excuse of a company.

Welcome Finance is dying and i for one am enjoying every second of watching these parasites squirm.

[EBOY]

EEEEZZZYY

Is there a time limit on your offer?

I think every little helps in finally finishing Welcome of.

[eeeezzzyy]

Yes very strangely they have given me a 21 day "Once in a lifetime" "Do not miss this offer to pay off your loan"....Cheeky barstewards, It sounds a bit like a DFS xmas advert...Im certain if i dont pay (and i have no intention of) that they will "extend this offer".I dropped the letter into my solicitor yesterday, he's on annual leave till a week Monday....with any luck Welcome will be history by then !!!

[donnymac]

hi eeezzzyy,

i had the same offer from them, 50% reduction of the hp for my car.

i still had over 6k to pay on the car, reduced to 3100.

valid for 31days.

got it reduced again on the 30th day. paid just 2500 to clear hp on car.

Cattles, the beleaguered UK subprime lender, said it had defaulted on an interest payment due to its bondholders on Sunday.

 

In a market statement yesterday, Cattles said that holders of about £400m of a 7.125 per cent bond due for repayment in 2017 had not received the interest payment due on July 5.

 

The bonds were last quoted at 11.5p in the pound on Friday, according to data from HSBC.

 

Cattles has been in talks with its debtholders for some time and last Wednesday dismissed six senior executives, as well as announcing the departure of David Postings, its chief executive, following an independent review of the company.

 

Questions had been raised after the revelation in March that the lender had incorrectly deferred impairment charges on its loan book. The error led the company to underestimate its bad debts by about £700m.

 

Trading in the shares of the company has been suspended since April.

 

Cattles' statement yesterday added that it continued to be in "constructive discussions" with its finance providers and that a further update on the situation was expected soon.

 

The July 5 bond payment was the first of two deadlines faced this month by the company. It has been in talks with a syndicate of 22 banks, led by Royal Bank of Scotland, to refinance £500m of wholesale funding by July 14.

 

The company had earlier negotiated a standstill agreement under which payments to debtholders would be suspended while a restructuring arrangement was worked out.

 

Discussions have been hampered, however, by disagreements among debtholders over who would rank highest in payment priority if Cattles went into administration.

 

The banks believe they rank ahead of bondholders because of a guarantee given to the banks by Welcome, a Cattles subsidiary, that banks and private placement noteholders will receive most of the cash the company gets back from its customers. Bondholders dispute this.

 

If no resolution is forthcoming in the next few weeks, then Cattles is expected to fall into administration and the debt-holder dispute is likely to go to court.

hehe lovely read i say...

 

but again the question would be how can cattles operate and collect debt when they are now in breach of there consumer credit licence ...they have defaulted on payments and surely now the oft must stop there licence to operate (and collect debt) which a consumer credit licence allows...to provide and collect debt..

 

this link states what needed from a company in order to apply for a licence and remain trading with a licence...

hi all

 

just had a company called XX recovery on the line they said that they will collect the vehicle tomoz and said that Welcome no longer RAC inspect the cars because they can't afford to. (that was quick response wow seven days from my V.T letter)(no wriiten response of course) (lets see if i get the SAR info just as quick)

 

I said fine so your agency will have no problem signing a bit of paper to say that the vehicle is damage free.

 

She said "I'll get back to you"

 

She then phoned again to say that welcome had told them not to sign the paper and that the vehicle would be RAC inspected at the auction...

 

I said yea right...no RAC inspection at my address no car...

 

Welcome still trying to fight dirty right to the bitter end...

 

 

Message to the (redundent) welcome finance muppets:

 

Do you think that I would be that stupid to hand my car over so some local lackey down at the car auctions (who isn't RAC) just so you can take me for a few more £1000's.

 

Just a question if you can't afford the RAC then why are you paying them to inspect at auction...Oh please, please try harder

 

YOU ARE WITOUT DOUBT THE BIGGEST FINANCIAL MONG IN HISTORY GET A GRIP YOU SEEDY LITTLE BACK STREET OUTFIT...YOU TRIED TO RISE ABOVE YOUR STATION AND PLAY WITH THE BIG BOYS BUT WERE FOUND WANTING.

well they wouldn't would they, the banks via some sort of subsidary company would enforce the agreements as would the note holders, as well as being liable for any missold insurances and secret commissions etc...i think

Welcome Finance Agreements are in breach of the Consumer Credit 1974 and also Consumer Credit Act 2006.

 

Anyone wants to see the listed breaches drop me a private message.

Well I hope the bondholders do the same to Welcome Finance as Welcome Finance did to me.

 

Put a dirty big black mark on their credit file!!
