    Trouble with welcome......
    Take a look at this....A very long read but worth the effort.

    http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/welcome-finance/109794-welcome-finance.html

    Starts way back in 2007 but brings you right up to date with Welcome(not for much longer)

    I hope it's ok to do this....I felt a bit of a traitor:o going to other forums but have learnt alot.Lol.

    Good luck

    WOW, had a good read of the link that you have posted, you were right its a very good read. so much so, that i have now decided to take the matter further, welcome finance defaulted me on my credit file for something that should never have been there. this have been on my credit file since 2004, i contacted welcome finance and they have agreed to take this off and i have since checked with experian and the default has been removed and is now showing as settled. this has caused me unneccesary stress over the past six years, as having had this on my credit file has deterred me from obtaining credit. I have decided to have a go at taking them to court under data protection, just need to get my head around it all first, if anyone has ever done this or had any success i would like any tips available.

    thanks ruth
  • m the moron from middlesbrough phoned me recently with the same old threats! if your reading this grow some balls and stop hiding behind apiece of plastic toolboy!!
  • i actualy recieved some sort of joke of a letter from welcome today, basicaly it was the useal we take action againstyou type letter...and we will take you to court..blah blah..you will have to pay costs blah blah..also the mention of money taken from my wages blah blah..on a letter that had a scribbled signature[ no printed name to say who it was off] no address to even say which welcome office it came from..............so i look forward to binning this and hopefully your buisness will dissapear like it should.
