  • b w legal , stat demands in scotland, and the fca - complaint

    With a number of recent statutory demands being served by b w legal (or walker love on their behalf) for Lowell, and their ignorance over the returned denial slips continuing to threaten sequestration petitions, I wonder whether a complaint should be made to the FCA.

    I'm sure we only see a tiny proportion of cases on here, and others may not realise that the letter following return of the denial slip is simply b*ll*cks. Once the denial has been returned then they cannot proceed with a petition for sequestration , although they can take court action.

    To me it seems they are hoping people will be scared by the threat of bankruptcy and just pay up, not realising they simply don't have the right.

    If the four/five cases on here all wrote complaints to the fca it might have some effect? We could draft a complaint using the new consumer credit sourcebook rules ?

        It really is time when this shower of shysters were hit where it hurts. A kick in the wallets.

        I know Cel has punished them but its a mere drop in the ocean. They are parasites breeding on peoples misfortunes.

          I would be happy to send in a complaint once mine has been dealt with!
