It's worth noting that Greg Campbell is not a real person either.

This loan will end up being passed on to Marshall Hoares Bailiffs who are essentially the same company with the same staff answering the phone. They're neither bailiffs nor are they too savvy with a) the law b) the OFT.

I would assume that because they're dealing with this that Speedy Dosh are part of CIM Technologies who have had a telling off by the OFT - it's worth referring this document to them: oft.gov.uk/shared_oft/press_release_attachments/cim-requirements.pdf

They are near enough useless to deal with, they won't sign any recorded letters and they very often won't respond to email. They will threaten you with bailiffs without court orders and similar intimidation - even if the person is based in Scotland. Complain to the OFT and FOS, call them and record EVERYTHING they say.

As of yet, they've never taken anyone to court so certainly never obtained a CCJ against anyone. The Ministry of Justice do NOT recognise them as bailiffs so they have no power against you in your house - ultimately, you should not be paying more than the principal and one months interest. If your friend is on benefits, he should offer them the token payment of £1 as this is not an essential debt.

Impressive 1st post from The Dentist. Thiis is the full link to the OFT statement

Thanks very much!

I only say this because I was foolish enough to get in to the Payday Loan trap and whilst all my other creditors have been forth coming (Y'know, the big ones, Quick Quid, Wonga, PTP - all for large amounts), Toothfairy Finance have made my life hell over £200. NDR/MHB are not in the slightest bit professional and I'd advise anyone who deals with them to speak to them once and keep the rest in writing - I've spoken to them several times and recorded the conversation and every time they've said something incriminating, it's almost like they make a habit of putting their foot in it.

I'd add, you can buy a microphone for recording for about £6.99 on eBay, if this is going to become a persistent problem it'll be the best £6.99 you've ever spent.

Just read the entire blog!!!

Some amazing quotes there:

'Once this is secured we will return with a Warrant of Execution from the C ounty Court and certified Court Bailiffs to seize goods at 9 times the value of what you owe.'

'... we can enter through an open window or an open door and we can force entry when ever we see fit.
We also can force entry if someone opens the door therefore limiting the chance of a door being closed in our agents face.
We do have the right to restrain anyone who becomes aggressive towards our agents and if needs be inform the police.
You can be assured that we will chase the debtors and we will enter a debtors property as we do not need to apply to a court due to the law being changed.Our agents are trained to deal with aggressive debtors and will deal with that debtor as we see fit.
99.99% the police will always take our side on these matters and will arrest anyone obstructing our agents.
Obstructing an bailiff is a criminal offence to which a debtor can receive a long prison sentence.
We will also enter the property once the threat has been removed which entails a lock smith attending if one is avalible or the door is physically kicked in by an bailiff to which the debtor will be responsible for the bill which will be added to the debt…..
….We are exampt from anti-social hours and we can attend a property (eg) 9am or 2am as we are exampt unlike hmcs bailiffs whom work until 10pm 5 days a week.'

Unbelievable!

Yeah they're like that! The OFT have cuffed them before for their procedures and also for the fact they never used to have anyone working there versed in law.

Another helpful email address for anyone suffering is john.wilson@camden.gov.uk; it'd appear Camden Trading Standards are investigating claims against this company.

Also if you question them on what part of THE LAW has changed, they can't ever answer you - simply because it's not true.

Tailor made for Chuck Norris if the film roles dry up

The could call it "The Collector"

Witness the thrills of doorstep collections from the worst sink estates in England, thrill as The Collector gets stabbed.

I wonder if the film could be made in 3D so we could actually witness the cash being handed over or the shotguns poking through the letterbox?
