First National Tricity Finance Ltd - still trading???

lesley76

Hi All,

After going through my mountains of paperwork yesterday I have discovered that when I bought a load of electrical items for my first flat in Jan 2002 I had actually been ripped off!! At the time we were waiting for a payout from my husbands divorce but decided to buy the items on interest free credit with a view to paying it off as soon as the money came through. We explained this to the Sales person who said its ideal as its interest free. However looking at the paperwork yesterday, PPI had been added and interest charged at 29.8%!!!!! I also have a welcome letter from First National Tricity Finance Ltd thanking us for opening an "interest free" account! We paid this all off in September 2002, which I also have a letter for

I have discovered in the last few days just how often my husband and I have been ripped off by these sharks, Egg have done the same and we also have an ongoing case with Black Horse - I can't believe how these people get away with it, its quite shocking.

Anyway, I digress , does anyone know if First National Tricity Finance Ltd still exist????

Any info would be really appreciated.

Thanks

Telephone Number if its definatley a Tricity account is 0870 550 0100

and the address for a Subject Access Request:

without meaning to be nasty, you should read any agreement completely,
lesson learnt i guess, good luck with the reclaiming

It sure is, in my defence I was young at the time and far too trusting I never thought companies would be allowed or able to get away with stuff like that, so when you are being told its interest free and receive a letter stating as such I had no concerns at all.

Fortunately as we get older we get wiser and I have certainly learnt by this school boy error!
