Lowell Portfolio - The Story So Far...

Ed_Zep

To anyone having to deal with phoney debts and crooks Lowell Portfolio, this is what happened.

I signed up to creditexpert.co.uk and to my horror, Lowell's *had* put a default on there. :mad:

Went to Trading Standards in Nottingham (very helpful). :T

Sent an email to Experian hoping they could get this default removed. Two weeks later it's been done. Not marked as "satisfied". Completely removed, as I requested. :T

I'm very happy this is over (it has been dragging on for 5 months).

Just thought I'd post this for anyone to show that a default, if it's wrong *can* be removed and not to let yourself be bullied by these scumbags.

Well done E_Z. I hope Lowell are leaving you alone now, but if they persist you should have no hesitation in reporting them to the OFT as they have no right to pursue any 'debt' which is in dispute, legally unenforceable, or for which they are unable to satisfy a cca request.

The OFT are, now, clamping down on DCAs who blatantly ignore their guidelines:
