Upon checking the new FCA Public Register which is listing "Interim Permissions" in its transitional role from the OFT, I find that Hoist wildcard returns 4 results : Hoist Portfolio Holding Limited (Registered in Jersey C.I.) - IP CANCELLED Hoist Portfolio Holding 2 Limited (Registered in Jersey C.I.) - IP CANCELLED Hoist Kredit Ab (Presumably Swedish Parent Company) - IP CANCELLED Hoist Finance UK Limited - Reference Number 661621 - IP ISSUED Having received a letter from Robinson Way (As we know now owned by Hoist Finance UK Limited) they state that they have purchased an account from MKDP LLP (Compello - Hoist Director is director of Compello also). They state quite clearly and unambiguously that the alleged new beneficial owner of the account is Hoist Portfolio 2 Limited, who clearly are not registered nor authorised to engage in CC activity, and as such cannot legally instruct their associate company Robinson Way to attempt any form of recovery on their behalf. This latest threat to the consumer has all the hallmarks and modus operandi of the last bunch of cowboys who fought their corner for so long and then voluntarily surrendered their licences. I'm not mentioning names, but everyone knows whom I'm referring to. This is now the same old story, one director pulling the strings with an absolute labyrinth of companies who are nothing more than a file on a shelf and a brass plate on an accountants door, representing the fiddles of the strings. I'm making it my business to enquire with the FCA as to the status of Hoist Portfolio 2 Holding Limited just to see and hear from them directly their legal status. They would probably just BS consumers and say "oh well we're all part of the same group" blah blah blah - now where have I heard that before - sounds familiar. Would appreciate all your comments on this matter. Ive been in Court before with people as a MacKenzie Friend against the last mob who tried to collect accounts whilst unauthorised and tried to wriggle with intertwined companies. The Judge generally sees right through it.
