I've just gone over my letters from MMF and Swift Sterling again and it seems that Swift sold the debt to MMF last September 2014.

Expirian had a default for MMF - I disputed it asking for proof and it was removed.

CallCredit has a default for Swift - I disputed it but it came back 'All OK it's correct'

As they are the same default what should my next step be please?

Cheers

Hi and thanks for butting in

I will apply for a Notice of Correction with CallCredit today.

I will let the red mist die down before doing any more.

Thanks

Inaccurate credit files

 

If you believe your file contains inaccurate or out-of-date information, you can ask for it to be amended, under the Consumer Credit (Credit Reference Agency) Regulations 2000.

 

Write to the agency giving your full name and address. It may also help to give your credit reference file number.

 

Clearly explain what information you think is wrong and why. Provide any proof you have to show why the information is wrong.

Keep a copy of any letters you send. By law the agency must tell you within 28 days of your letter if it has:

 

• removed the entry from your file

• amended the entry; or

• taken no action

 

If the entry is amended, the agency will send you a copy of the amended entry.

 

The agency will also send the details to any lender that has searched your credit reference file in the last six months.

Hi, I have no proof that the default isn't mine. I just know i have never taken out a payday loan ever.

Isn't down to Swift Sterling to prove that i did have an agreement with them?

I'm at my wits end with these jokers, my fixed term mortgage expires in December and i have the impression that this default will cost me a decent deal.

I can't believe that I'm unable to get a wrongly placed default removed from my credit file. Where are my rights?

Any company can place a default on anyone's record and they have to fight to get it removed.

If they operate in the UK using a UK credit licence, they are. tell the adjudicator where to go, and get it escalated to an actual ombudsman.

An actual ombudsman? That is THE ombudsman who else is there?

I have contacted Swift Sterling asking for proof of debt and received no reply, that was 10 months ago.

I have now started a complaint with the Financial Ombudsman but they have replied stating that Swift Sterling are based in Malta and not under their jurisdiction.

Help please

Just keep it simple.

 

Address to Director of compliance/Data Protection

 

You have sent three letters to my address relating to someone that does not live at this addess and has not resided at the address. I am feeling harassed by the actions of your company and want an explanation by return in writing with an apology. If this continues, i will be making full record of communications and may issue small court claim proceedings for harassment, as well as complaining to the ICO.

 

Send them a copy of the last letter so they can see what they sent.

Great thanks... Do i need to put my name at the bottom?, ie. the same surname as my mums?

You can. Could the debt be for someone at your address, but the first initial or surname is wrong ?

 

Don't kick up too much of a fuss, if someone at your address has a debt owing and the letter just contains wrong details.

No it couldn't be anyone else as it names my mother by using her full name.

How should i phrase a letter to them?

That makes sense. Is there anything historical on your credit record which might link your mother to your address. I have seen other reports of them chasing debts to another relatives address and sometimes the details are wrong.

 

I had a long running complaint with them about a relatives debts being chased to my address. They ended up paying me compensation and writing off the debt.

 

Suggest a letter to their compliance director by recorded delivery asking why a debt is being chased to your address when there is nobody living at the address with that full name. Then advise re harassment and consequences if this is continued.

No link at all and i have lived here for only around 18 months. When i write should i state my name too?

and the DCA is?

I wouldnt put all that in the letter. I'd just mark it return to sender, NKATA, in the first instance. If they continue, then play hardball.

I have done that twice already and a 3rd letter has arrived

Hi,

My mother is an OAP and has never had any credit or loan barring the mortgage.

I have recived a 3rd letter addressed to her at my address (she has never lived here) demanding over £500 for an O2 debt.

The first 2 letters were returned to sender and a 3rd has just arrived.

Can someone please put into words what im supposed to say in a strongly worded letter?

Many thanks.

Received a letter from MMF stating that they had handed over my debt to Swift Sterling.

As i have never had any debt or payday loans i wrote to both companies stating a CRN using a template from here.

I received no response (back in Sept 2014).

I joined Experian and told them to investigate,

they did and informed me it was ID fraud

and the company could not prove i had taken out the loan,

thus the default was removed.

The only other credit agency to display this default is CallCredit.

I have told them that this is fraud but they keep saying that they have contacted Swift Sterling and the default is valid.

What do i do now?

I told CC my back story but they don't care.

Help pretty please

Hi guys, im sending 2 letters to Wonga and Sunny to deny all knowledge of 3 payday loans taken out in my name.

Do i just send them to the head office addresses i can find online on their websites?

Cheers

I've just been called by the Sunny Compliance team (they have my number as i called them on Saturday asking WTF).

They not only want a CRN but also a letter from the Halifax confirming that this is fraud.

Is this normal or should i stop all direct contact and send the words in the letter or email that were given above?

Contact Action Fraud or the police to get the CRN?

What do i send\say to the 2 payday loan companies who seem disinterested in the fraud, is there a template i can send them?

Sorry to sound stupid, CPA?

Can an admin please move this into the General group ?

Hi,

My son noticed that 3 payday loans (2 x Wonga 1 x Sunny) had been paid into his Halifax account on Saturday. These immediately got trandfered into my daughters Natwest savings account then straight into her Natwest current account. From there they were moved elsewhere (currently trying to find out where).

All transactions were done over the internet even the getting of the loans.

The total amounts to around £750!

Halifax at first said they will pay the money back into his account on Monday (today) so that he can pay the companies back but have now reneged on that promise.

Natwest are investigating where the money went on hop 4 out of the current account.

Halifax advised us to contact the payday loan companies direct which i did...

Wonga were helpful stating that we can pay it straight back as long as the bank sends a letter saying it was fraud.

Sunny wont do anything without a Crime Reference Number from the police and will be taking the first installment no matter what happens anyway.

My son hasn't been able to use his online banking for months as it kept saying he was lock out so silly of him he just left it, well he did tell the bank and they were sending out new credentials.

What do we now with relation to the payday loan people whilst the banks chase around to find where the money ended up?

Cheers

It doesn't mention that its a goodwill gesture or final settlement.

Although at the time on the phone it was mentioned that this is all they are offering take it or leave it.

I'm still unable to upload the letter so bear with me.

Is there a template i can send them to test the waters?

One more...

 

Do i put my address on the letter?

I have just noticed that both letters have the same reference number but i have 2 defaults??

Do i still send 2 letters (1 to each) but with the same reference number on?

Sorry for all the questions

Many thanks for all the help, i'll keep updating when/if i hear back
