Replied to Lending Stream asking them to reconsider before I escalate to FOS.
Current situation is:
Wonga - waiting for their response, 8 week deadline
QQ - escalated to the final resolution team, 8 week deadline
Pounds to Pocket - escalated to the final resolution team, 8 week deadline
Lending Stream - received rejection, asking to reconsider before escalating to FOS if not resolved after that
Ladder Loans - no response yet. They no longer exist so you have to contact The Money Shop0 -

Looked on another site and it still looks like Wonga and Lending Stream are paying out compensation more than other PDL. Bad news for me still the 2 worst are QQ and PDUK.0

No rhyme or reason to lending stream.
They rejected my complaint, but still paid me £300 !!
I reacon they have X amount of compensation to hand out, at any one time, and it's on an ad hock basis who gets it !!I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Debt free wannabe, Credit file and ratings, and Bankruptcy and living with it boards.
