What Independent Commissioner?
I know there's an Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner, but I don't see how they're going to help you?
The Complaints Commissioner is the independent person appointed by the Regulators to be
responsible for the conduct of investigations in accordance with the Scheme. If you are
dissatisfied with the outcome of this investigation, you may refer your complaint to the
Complaints Commissioner who may decide to carry out his own investigation. A referral to the
Complaints Commissioner should usually be made within three months of the date of this
letter, although a referral outside the three months' time limit may, where there are adequate
reasons for the delay, still be considered by the Complaints Commissioner.
If you decide to contact him, his details are as follows:
Office of the Complaints Commissioner

Telephone: 020 7562 5530

Well, that didn't take long to flush out the corrupt.
Were the FCA attempting to cover up financial illegality by Skye Loans Ltd, and at the same time cover their own backside?

Dear Mr Jimuck,
Our ref FCA
Further to my email below, our office began the process of recalling the file on your case from the FCA. During this time, the FCA has reconsidered the matter, and has told the Commissioner that it would like the opportunity to review your complaint again within the complaints scheme as there are a number of areas where it wants to focus on.
Given the circumstances, the Commissioner feels the best course of action now is to allow the FCA to review your complaint again. However, if you object, he will consider any objections before deciding whether or not to agree to the FCA’s request.
If the FCA were to review your complaint again, you would of course be able to refer it to the Commissioner if you are not satisfied with the outcome.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,
Office of the Complaints Commissioner0 -
After the transfer of secured loans from Black Horse Ltd to Skye Loans Ltd, we now have irrefutable evidence that Skye Loans Ltd have been administering and collecting payment on those secured loans without the regularity authority to do so, and without legal authority.
I call it fraud.
We would advise any person making payments to Skye Loans Ltd to make an immediate complaint to the Financial Conduct Authority, and seek immediate legal advice.0 -
I too have a Skye loan, which was originally BH they are currently taking me to court for a repossession order as I have missed payments due to an industrial injury, in the last year they have added 5000.00 pounds in interest, I have advised I will be collecting a pension soon and can pay it off but we will see, any advise would be great.

Hi Caroline,
You are not alone. I've had correspondence from others on here in the same position as you.
What Skye Loans Ltd are doing is illegal and fraudulent. They are collecting undue, crippling payments off former BH customers without the regularity authority to do so.
Could you let me know who their solicitors are, and who is servicing their loans? You can find this info at the bottom of their letters.
You must complain to the FCA on their conduct, and please try to secure yourself some legal advise.
As you can see from the above correspondence, the FCA are as crooked as Skye Loans (we all know they are two cheeks of the same !!!!)
With a favourable wind, it wont be long until I expose all these thieving b@stards.
Please keep corresponding on here so we can offer some advise as things move forward.
Stay strong.
Cheers,James0 -

It's a shame you won't be billed for this nonsensical witch hunt, wasting time and resources that could be better spent on dealing with actual issues, rather than someone trying to wriggle out of their legal obligations.
But I suppose it is your "uman right" to make a nuisance of yourself.0 -

Oh,dear. Do I sense a bit of envy? Instead of some on here 'talking the talk', I'm actually' walking the walk' and succeeding in bringing some justice for the people. I thought some congratulations may be in order.
More to follow on this success soon.0 -
