[sam614]

sis has now received a " offer of settlement " without prejudice

 

from barker & lowe

 

a one off offer of 75% off:rolleyes:

 

instead of £531....which should actually be £217

 

she can pay £398 if payed within 48 hours and payment can be made by debit or credit card.

 

they will also except instalments if this amount can not be raised,but with no reduction.

 

then goes on to say you must pay within 14 days of the date of this letter,remember late payment costs more,talk to us we can help.

liked the ending

 

"our job is to help you deal with this problem,or in the event that you fail to deal with this SERIOUS MATTER,to ensure that this debt is recovered by taking LEGAL ACTION against you OR to collect it by any other lawfull means."

 

toss up between I do not acknowledge or cca request.

SAM

[garysonjack]

nice 1, well done

[sam614]

no responce from barker & lowe to "prove it"

 

todays letter

 

balance now £597

 

their client wonga have instucted them to collect

payment in full must be made within in 4 days of the letter,dated 29th.

so out of time then:rolleyes:

a doorstep collector will be instructed to call and under the terms of your contract YOU will be liable for the extra costs incured.

 

shame that she will miss them,as she is off to malta tonight for a fortnight.

wonder if she will be charged extra for a wasted journey all the way from london.

 

atempted to ring and tell them not to bother, strangly enough they said good morning wonga:rolleyes:not barker and lowe.

maybe I dialed 9 instead of 10 at the end of the almost identical number and got wonga customer care.

 

cca request send.

[sam614]

no responce received from wonga for cca request or failure to template.

 

letter received today from

grosvenor legal services..baliffs

and the word bailiffs clearley visable for all to see through the clear address panel:mad:

instructed by wonga to recover the debt...now £605

 

payment within 7 days of the letter date, or they will commence immediate legal action.

the judgement obtained will be supplied to credit referencing organisations.

 

letter dated 12th...so out of time then last friday:rolleyes:

 

 

are they bailiffs or debt collectors

anyone had dealing with them?

[Mr lex]

Their both by the look of it Sam :-

 

Grosvenor Legal Services

[sam614]

so should she be scared of a visit ?

 

it is indispute with wonga,who have failed to supply cca.

 

not sure if she should respond with that

 

or sent prove it or what.

[sillygirl1]

Nope, unless there is a CCJ against the amount they are common DEBT COLLECTORS and can be told to get lost. Just because they are a bailiff firm doesn't mean to say they can go into doorstep debt collecting.

 

Report the letter to Trading Standards and ask for it to go to the Money Laundering Unit of the local police force, for that is what Wonga are about.

 

They really need to be closed down, not only do they have a dreadful name they have people with little regard for the law.

 

Keep the emails as they prove you have tried to negotiate and got automated responses back - could come in handy in the future.

[sam614]

have told her to keep all e-mails 24 in total

and copies of all letters sent and recieved.

 

 

have called local ts and someone is going to call out to see her tomorrow.

interested in

 

a.the word bailiffs is showing on the address panel

b.payment can be made by credit card

 

and the line which says

we have been instructed by wonga to recover the sum of xxxx for which you are indebted to in relation to personal loan and now DEMAND payment.

Would like to know what to expect, and how lond it will take to pass to a DCA

[chez60]

Hi

 

Just been looking about Wonga need to get to grips with them as I have paid most of a loan off from last month but still own £180 as intrested is being added I notice your name in these chats I was wondering Do you have the bank details for wonga so I can start a standing order up to them ? and a e-mail to send a e-mail to them to let them know what I intent to do ?

[littleme123]

Hi Chez, the details on the sticky at the top are correct bank details for Wonga as I recently used them to pay of a loan I had with them. This has been a great site to use!

[chez60]

HI Littleme123

 

Thank You for getting back to me ....

 

How did you get that far with them I can not get an answer did you just send a e-mail ? if so which e-mail ? and did you just tell them that you were going to pay back by standing order also did they have your bank details ?

[nikki1982]

I defaulted on a loan with Wonga. It has now been passed to JBDR who claim that letters were sent out to me on the 8th January, and 7th February to which I had never receieved. Yet searching through my emails, I had one from Barker and Lowe, on the 7th January, giving me until the 14th January to pay all the money.

Made a telephone call to JBDR on the 6th April after receiving a voicemail asking me to contact them.

I said I had not received any written notification of yourselves or Wonga to actually say you are legally entitled to collect this debt, and I wish to try and set up a payment arrangement..... was told we will send everything to you via email to which I have still not received.

Received another voicemail this morning, asking me to contact them again, explained everything to the person I was speaking to, said another email will be sent out........ STILL WAITING!!!

I don't know what to do

Ist Crud:eek: thats a first for Wonga - You don't sound too worried Sam ,hardly seems a fair fight!!

[sam614]

:pnot at all worried,a full and final offer of the original amount only will be offered or they can take it to court.... only paying just as soon as someone,anyone produces cca:D

 

 

will wait and see if they write again and then AGAIN tell them to return to wonga.

 

going to put another complaint in tomorrow as this is now the 2nd time it as been passed on while in dispute,not counting wonga's pets barker and lowe.

saving everything just in case we get a nice day out in court.
