Link Financial

12 Posts

Hello, I've been discussing my credit accounts that Link Financial have for me, I called in relation to my discharge from bankruptcy and asked for information on their data controller to update the accounts on my report.
I was flabbergasted when they told me it stays as default which is correct, but they told me the balance stays until the default runs the 6 year course and they just don't ask for any money... I know that's incorrect for them to say that, has anyone any advice

Is anyone able to confirm if this is the correct Information for them? The ico website lists a few Link Financial companies.
Also if I send a letter direct to their data controller, how should I proceed? They have 5 accounts for me would I need to do 5 separate letters?
Link are well aware of the rules, one letter, state the five account numbers, refer them to the guidance, ask them to sort it, or you will escalate to the ICO, who have the power to fine firms that are non compliant with guidance.
They have 8 weeks to put things right.

I was shocked that was the advice from 3 people, call handler then apparently supervisor and manager...
they have said they are entitled to do so until discharge which makes no sense as they will have to remove them all back 12 months!
