Thank you so much for your advice and kind words. Its easy to think you're in this alone when your fighting such a big company. I will contact the company again and detail everything from the beginning. Hopefully I will get somewhere this time.

Do you know if its legal for me to record our telephone calls? Knowing the company, i think i'd need evidence of their "customer service".

Thank you again for your help.

Hi there, and you are very welcome xx i have let people know on the ppi thread that you need help with this, they may know something that you can do and the authorities that can help you.

I would put a complaint into Welcome with the info that you have,they should not get away with this,this is blackmail.

Dont know if you can record the call,but i dont see why not,as long as you tell who you are talking to at the start of the call that is your intention.

Hang fire and i am sure the brainboxes will be along to guide you with this.
And try not to worry xx.

Can anyone help here? this is bloody outrageous what welcome have done regarding the way they got the poster to take another loan.

My wife has just told me off for the foul language coming from the office.

How dare they treat you like this.

I have had dealings with gangsters like this and I am on the most hated list at a couple of debt collectors agency.

I will help compose a letter that will go off to Welcome Finance, OFT and FOS. This bully boy will be the one quaking after we have dealt with him.

I have time on my hands as school holidays and I know a few people from another site (you know who amersall) who will pitch in with their views.

We are going to scythe them down:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Letter template to go off to Welcome acting CEO and local office to stop any harrassment by phone. This is just for starters. We need complaint policy and details (see previous post) before a full complaint can go in.

Hi there
After all of the bad press in relation to Welcome Finance, I must admit I was very sceptical on success rates, until I came on here.
I originally put in a claim through Investor Compensation (I know, NEVER EVER use claim management companies, you end up doing all the work! - but that is for another thread!) In February of this year and was getting nowhere!
I spoke to Welcome myself trying to get my account number details at the beginning of September this year (2012). The chap I spoke to was extremely helpful, giving me dates and agreement numbers without any hassle, just make sure you get the geographical telephone number for them, not the 0845 one which I called and got a massive phone bill for :mad:.
I sent copies of my passport and driving licence, filled out the FOS consumer questionaire and posted to their Northampton Office.
Within 3 weeks I received a reply to say I had been successful in my claim on 3 loans, and would receive £2442 within 15-30 working days, just had to provide my bank details which I sent back.
Well, to cut a long story short, this morning I have checked my bank balance and the money has been credited to my account, that was in 10 working days! I am amazed, and credit where credit is due (if you excuse the pun!) Welcome have been outstanding! I urge anyone to do this, just make sure you get all the information to them at the same time.
Well done Welcome Finance! :T

Hi.
Im looking at claiming for my partner with Welcome. He had a loan took out in 2007 which he tried to cancel the PPI on when he first took the loan (by phone) but was told he could not cancel it? So he paid it. Am i writing to their main address at Ruddington? There is no longer a local office to me, there used to be one at peterborough?
Thanks for any help

Hi,

I had two loans with Welcome in 2004, I wrote to reclaim my PPI which I unknowingly had on both loans, afetr 13 weeks they wrote back offering me £1068! I have just accepted and am now awaiting my cheque.
The correct address is the one in 'Mere Way', Ruddington.

I applied for ppi refund with welcome finance in February 2016 they rejected my claim I appealed and they accepted my claim this was May 2016.....but could not pay because they expected to enter into insolvent liquidation. Today 23 Jan 2016 got a letter saying they had extended negotiations with its scheme creditors and would now settle its complaint in full so sent of my confirmation letter today to get £2,353.64 so don't give up hope 😀
