They used to have an office in Wetherby, we used to buy our financial information from them.

Is is it Westcot credit or Westscot Financial.

That was one of the answers here - dunno if it's right though.

i know, they are bloody awful. its my owen fault i defaulted on a loan, but they were gits about accepting payments, werre demanding silly high payments which i couldnt afford, then said i didnt want to pay. took months of me refusing to pay them, and making a weekly offer of payment before they agreed to it. have increased it over the last 18months so i can be rid of them quicker.

I hate this company too, I had my water bill go to them because I forgot to pay it. I owed £300 and they wanted the whole lot at once, when I sais I couldn't pay it they said they wanted £150 a month. I ended up phoning the water board and they said I could pay £12 a week to clear it.

snugs · 02/03/2005 17:19

And the fax number is 590591

snugs · 02/03/2005 17:20

They are terrible employers as well. A friend of mine used to work for them and working conditions were appalling.

I have noticed that all my debts were handed over to them last year (DH was off sick longterm and couldn't afford to pay a lot of bills) Do they have the monoploy!??

misdee · 02/03/2005 17:40

whoo-hoo!! final payment next week. silly woman on the phone wanted me to pay it all today, including the payment which has already gone out of the account.

I have a letter demanding £234.42 for apparently a £30.00 something pound debt i did not clear with a 3g mobile phone contract 3 years ago. When I asked for a copy of the bill or payments recieved details they said we would settle for £22. I said thats not the point if you can prove i owe the money I will pay it. Next thing I hear is a red letter titled "formal notice" i now owe £234.42 or CCJ! thats not fair! someone please help..... Thanks!

I would go and see the CAB for this, they will give you advice and will get the wolves off your back. All they want is the money, they don't give a shit. The CAB will help you, try not to worry too much, legally they have to make a certain amount of contact before taking someone to court, it doesn't sound like they have done this.
