Hi

What they say is because you are with a solicitors your debt companies can't get in touch with me, they will be breaking the law.
Because all my debts are not with the original companies and are now with agencies they ask them for my agreement and if they don't have it then they can;t chase me for money ???
Just unsure of everything to leave them or stay, i lost £6500.00 with Compass and paid the £5.000 for set up in total £11500.00 down the pan.
do i pay the £3000.00 and see if they can help, feel so stressed back to sq one

NO, no no no no don't pay them a penny.

I've never heard such a crock of !!!!!, your just throwing money down the drain, these people should be avoided at all costs !!!!

Please get some advice from stepchange this just isn't right when people in your situation are told utter lies like this.

It makes me so mad, please do not pay this company any money, and sever all ties you have with them, they are complete and utter crooks no more, no less, do not fall for there sales patter !!!!

They are talking absolute nonsense on both counts. :eek:

There is nothing in law or regulation that says that.

Gosh it's hard work posting an image on here ...

Okay , for reference, this is the fee info from Abbey Solicitors, from someone elses letter ( same as Meg's other than the price ) The Price appears to be ( from what people have said so far) exactly the same amount the customer was paying to Compass ( coincidentally ).

£300 quid a month ???

OMG please, people, have nothing to do with these criminals.

I can't stress strongly enough how bad a decision it would be fall for this crap !!!!!!!!

The fee appears to be whatever the customer was paying to Compass, so therefore, their entire disposable income. There wouldn't be anything left for any DMP. The money will just be gone in fees for this firm to send off CCA requests and cross fingers something's wrong with the agreement.... and then what ? wait for a court claim ? then charge the consumer to help defend it ?? ( it really feels a bit deja vu from 2009/2010 doesn't it)

They don't have a Consumer Credit Licence other than the SRA group one. I don't believe the SRA licence covers this kind of work as it seriously isn't incidental.... I have raised the question with both FCA and SRA though.

https://www.sra.org.uk/solicitors/code-of-conduct/financial-services-rules/regulation-consumer-credit-activities.page

and of course there is a small matter of the SRA Principles.

Frustrating how one crappy company going down the toilet leads to so many bloody vultures steaming in to prey on people's panic and vulnerability.
