    You have received compensation in relation to incidents like this?

    I am disputing a balance with Quick Quid that has since been passed to a DCA.
    They allowed to to re-loan, roll etc for 23 months!
    Did not offer me assistance etc.
    Can I seek compensation? or is the balance being written off fair?

    Yes Quick Quid discharged my £2000 loan and paid £470 in compensation

    If he gets suspicious about what is coming, he certainly would. I have done the debt remedy tool thought step change and I have requested a pack to be sent to me.

    So, last week I applied for a loan through Avant Credit for £2,400 thinking I could pay off my overdraft and something else with it, I signed the things and then after it said I needed to send in my income etc and bank statements to take my application further - upon consideration at the point I decided that it was the wrong way to go about it so didn't continue with the application. I've come home from work everyday to have voicemails from them saying I need to send bank statements to carry on with my application but then I checked my bank this morning and low and behold there's £2400 sat in my account.. Now what?!


    Dont waste time with email.

    Get on the phone, and inform them you wish to cancel.
