M T collect threat-o-texts - another sufferer

[suzyblue1]

Hi, just want a bit of advice, has anyone had any dealing with a company called MITIGATE TRACE AND COLLECT, apparently Capital Finance One, , i have had a letter asking for full payment i rang them and have come to an agreement as to what i can afford but before i give them my details is this a true company and should i give them my bank details.

[silverfox1961]

Hi and welcome to CAG

DO NOT give them any details whatsoever. They will clear your account

[silverfox1961]

If you want to set up a payment arrangement, get THEIR bank details and set up a standing order

 

Be prepared to get the funny texts and obnoxious phone calls but this is your money

moved to the payday loan forum

 

thread retitled

 

have a read of a few of the 1000's of people that have gotten the same.

 

if any of the PDL co's know your card details

 

cancel the card NOW

 

report it stolen/lost

I have had a nightmare call with these today and am now sat dreading a knock at the door. There is just no talking to them and no way out. Spoke to a very rude posh man at 6pm and he said that unless I could pay 50.00 someone would be at my house within 2 hours. Just feel so dreadful now and anxious. Help!

[suzyblue1]

Hi, it sounds like i spoke to the same man last night myself, he was supposed to ring me today to get my card details off me, which i was not going to give after information i was given, he never rang, i have spoken to a debt management company and they told me not to speak to them or do anything, they are just bullies, i have wrote to ombudsman and rang citizens advice, they have told me not to give anything to this comapny, and they have no right to act and threaten people, they are getting investigated, do not give them a penny, and stop worrying, if they come which they wont, ring the police...

[sickofthisfeeling01]

Thank you, I will report too, not sure how to though?? Most other debt companies have been understanding, but these have just made me feel awful. They were rude and patronizing and basically Hung up on me 3 times. Awful people!! Hope you get sorted .

You need to complain to the OFT - they are investigating payday rogues at the moment http://www.oft.gov.uk/about-the-oft/legal-powers/legal/competition-act-1998/complaints#named1

 

MTC are bullies and they cannot send anyone to your house within 2 hours.

[sickofthisfeeling01]

Thank you, I will call them tomorrow. I know, its just the threat and frustration when I have offered them a payment and they just said no. They said it was going to court in 48 hours. I asked which court and why I hadn't had a written letter and they just said that they don't have to inform me. They are my finances and should have them under control. Never felt so bad after a phone call!

[dx100uk]

please everyone STOP CALLING THEM AND STOP ANSWERING THE PHONE TO THEM

 

you are under NO LEGAL OBLIGATION TO DO SO.

 

if you must talk to them ,...RECORD THE CALL and give it to US to send to the authorities

 

just to say once AGAIN..............

 

MT MUPPETS ARE NOT BAILIFFS

 

they have NO LEGAL POWERS WHATSOEVER.

 

NEVER EVER GIVE THEM YOU CARD DETAILS EITHER

if they know them CANCEL THE CARD NOW.

Thank you. I didn't realise all this until I called today. Then I Google them and found this site. Wish I had Google it before I called them. I will complain tomorrow to the link above and ignore them and pray they won't come knocking! A stupid 150.00 loan is currently at 1200.00. What a silly girl I am! Live and learn.

[Ell-enn]

Well don't worry about owing £1200 - you don't !! you should only offer to pay the original loan + 1 month's interest.

[suzyblue1]

thanks to everyone who has replied to my thread, i appreciate everything, and i am in control now. thanks again.

Glad you are feeling more confident. Hopefully, the more people that complain to Trading standards and the OFT, the sooner this bunch of *******s are shut down

Hi, i have just sent my text to the number in that thread, hope you get this and stop these pigs, i am worried sick, but am feeling a lot better since coming onto this site.

[Ali247]

HI,

I have just been reading all your comments, and i have just had a call from them asking me to pay £100, when i told them that i can not pay, they asked me to pay £30.

 

They have said that if i do not pay by 5pm, today they will start court proceedings, Please can some one let me know if this is possible.

 

I am so worried.

[Ali247]

Sorry, forgot to add the number they gave me to call them back on: 01702865001

[silverfox1961]

Hi Ali and welcome to CAG

 

At the moment they don't court. That isn't to say they won't do so in the future but for now, they are using the threat of court to scare you. Working isn't it!

 

Stop letting them get to you. Court is a long loonngg way off (IF EVER)
