  • Hi all.

    My adjudicator has just upheld two of the three loans I had from Lending Stream. These were lent at roughly the same time and I was paying them both off at once. Ironically though I repaid more in interest and charges on the first loan than the second two combined. So the redress figure will only be about £200 plus 8% interest but it's another small victory in the bag.

  • Great news Adamsssss,:T:j:beer::):cool:
  • Still waiting on my Wonga payment... I've become quite impatient all of a sudden!
  • Same here with my PDUK complaint, no news regarding an Ombudsman, into week 6 waiting for an Ombudsman after my Adjudicator gave up on PDUK responding to her finding in my favour.:(:cool:
  • I was going to ask if you had any experience of companies not providing information to the FOS. How long do they leave it before it goes to an ombudsman?

    I have sent complaints in regarding PDUK and Payday Express and they have advised that an adjudicator will begin to investigate once the business sends in the files - will they leave it say a month before someone starts to look at it based purely on the information you have provided?
  • The Adjudicator will give the PDL every chance to respond, however after approx 5 weeks my Adjudicator gave up and had to pass it on to an Ombudsman. PDUK never respond, time wasting PDL, report to the FCA.:cool:
  • Ive just realised one of mine is Payday uk!! Ive also emailed wonga, although i did get a redress thing a year or so ago which wiped my debt.

    Ive got 7 on the go now.... what the hell was i thinking back then with all these loans. So happy im not going through that cycle any more!
