Paydaypig... Contact address?

Right, this is it, I remember a few months ago that a guy took a PPI claim firm to the small claims court for wasting his time and they paid up.

Over the past month or so I am getting spam email from paydaypig, never been on their site before but have decided to email them to stop spamming me, but for a company charging more than 3000%apr they do not have any contact details and googling them comes up with nothing, I want to invoice them £7.50 per email I get and charge a rate of 3000% and then take them to the small claims court over it, I know I am ranting over something I can just delete, but I get no other spam.

Anyone got an address or email for them, I want to fight back :-)

  • They must have, by law, an email address and physical office (not a PO box, an actual geographical address) listed on their site, plus a phone number you can contact them by. If they don't have these listed, check if they are registered with the financial regulatory bodies and if they aren't, they're loan sharks. In which case, the police or trading standards will probably be in a better position to help you.

    If you find a way to invoice a company £7.50 per unsolicited and actually get paid, let me know I could give up work on the strength of my Gmail account alone.

    They appear to be a loan broker rather than a lender.

    Payday Gap Ltd., 27 Old Gloucester Street, London WC1N 3AX same address as another poster but different company name. The OP was correct that they do not have anywhere on their site a snail mail address and are therefore in breach of the law.

    Fair play.

    But yeah, £7.50 per e-mail seems healthy, sure I could get a house by now seeing as my old e-mail which now I only use for soft quotes has around 12,000 e-mails, a good 1,000 or so must be payday lenders and 2,000-3,000 PPI claimants (which being 18, is of course spam as I've never had a loan).
  • Thanks for the replies, I have contact details, yes :)

    I do not want to unsubscribe as I never subscribed in the first place, I will send them my message right away and let you know what happens (probably nothing in the next week) :)

    If you send them any e-mails, make sure you carbon copy yourself into them so you have an outgoing copy and incoming copy as if you decide to take them to court, you have very strong proof.
  • OK, got to the contact them page and they use a captcha thing, seems to run out after 5 seconds so absolutely impossible to contact them, I will use the snail mail address and add the 60p post cost to them, this is what I wrote but could not send, fwckers....

    Dear Sir/Madam,

    I am new to using the internet and my daughter who is 50 recently opened an account for me, I do not have many friends alive anymore due to my age so when I found your kind message I used my mouse to open your kind message offering me money, that was so kind of you, I could have used your help this afternoon when a young fellow asked me for spare change as his family had been evicted from his home for taking this kind of loan out, I was unable to help him or his family as I only had a £50 note, i offered him 20 if he could give me change but he offered to sing me a song, what a nice young man who looked rather cold.

    Anyway, please stop spamming me as I have not subscribed to this and for every message I get I will charge you £7.50 (1% of your max loan and may consider interest at 3000%) please pass this message onto Mr Pig on my behalf, I will be saving each message I receive to show to a small claims court if I receive any future correspondence, I wish you a happy new year, lots of love x

    Can I not rely on my sent folder?
