Answers to questions about debts and credit ratings - in plain English!

Payday lenders – email addresses for complaints

If you want to get a refund for “unaffordable” payday loans, the first step is to complain to the lender. Often it’s simple as the lender has a Complaints section on their website, but some have been taken over or the website isn’t there anymore, so here is a list of their email addresses.

For all these emails put AFFORDABILITY COMPLAINT as the subject of the email.

If you haven’t already seen it, read and bookmark Can I get a payday loan refund?

That page has the template letters for complaints and it also looks at the most common things that happen, such as whether you should accept an offer or take the case to the Financial Ombudsman.

Payday lenders in administration or already liquidated

Sunny, QuickQuid, 247 Moneybox, Piggybank, Swift Sterling, Nextcredit, Peachy, Uncle Buck – these firms have only recently gone into administration, you can still send complaints in, see above for the email addresses of the claims page.

Wonga  – the deadline to submit claims has now passed, see  Latest news on refunds from Wonga for details.

Wageday Advance (and Speedy Cash) – the deadline to submit claims has now passed, see Wageday Advance – Latest News.

Money Shop, Payday UK, Payday Express – the deadline to submit claims has now passed, see Money Shop – Latest news for details.

The following other firms have also stopped trading and/or may be in administration –  the process of gone bust!

  • Microlend; Toothfairy; Capfin (Ecash Window & EPDL); Trusted Quid; Fancy a payday; Response Lending

If you are just starting a claim against any of these you need to be aware that there may be no money to pay any redress. If you have a small claim you may decide it’s not worth bothering with. If your claim is large, you should talk to the Financial Ombudsman to see what you should do, if any anything.

The following firms have disappeared, or have been dissolved (they no longer exist or have any assets) or the administrators are not accepting any more complaints,  and I don’t think the Ombudsman is taking new complaints. If you have an existing claim in with the administrators you may get a small amount back:

  • Access fast Money; Cash Genie; Cheque Centre (other brand names the Loan Store & Square Today); CFO (other brand names Payday First, Flexible First, Money Resolve, Payday Advance); 1st Stop;  321 Cash; Bonga Loans; Cash Choice; Cash Store; Cash365; Dosh Loans; Different Money (previously called My Mate); Easy Finance Club; Forces loans (V Gates); Handycash; Lifeboat loans; Money In Advance; Mini Credit; Open Door Loans; Payday First; Payday Overdraft; Perfect Payday; Pick A Payday; Pixie; Pogo Loans; Prime Payday; Purple Payday; Quid24; Speed Credit; Speed-e-loans; Speedy Dosh; Txt Me Cash; Umbrella Loans; Vivus.

There are literally dozens of payday lenders that have gone without trace. The above are just some of the ones people have asked about. There are also lenders who were never authorised such as Loans4U / Loans4You who you can’t take a complaint to the ombudsman about.

I can’t be sure the info I have is accurate so the safe thing is for you to talk to the ombudsman about these firms.

Affordability complaints to other bad credit lenders

Lenders giving larger loans, including car finance & logbook loans

These typically have APRs of under 100% – but because the loans are larger and for longer the interest can be huge. The same affordability rules apply to them as payday lenders but the suggested template letter is different. And you can not stop making payments to a logbook loan while your complaint is going through.

For contact details for lenders such as Avant Credit, Bamboo Loans, Everyday Loans, Likely Loans, Moolr, On Stride, Savvy and 118 118 Money, and logbook lenders such as Varooma, Mobile Money and Loans 2 Go see Refunds from large, high cost, bad credit loans and logbook loans.

Doorstep lenders

For doorstep lenders such as Provident and Morses, see Get a refund for unaffordable doorstep lending.

Guarantor lenders

For Amigo and other guarantor lenders, see How borrowers can get refunds from a guarantor loan OR Complaints by guarantors.

Anything missing or wrong?

If there is a missing lender, or you think one of these addresses is wrong, please leave a Comment at the bottom of this article.

A good place to try to track down old lenders is the FCA Register, as this lists firms brand names as well as their company names and also sometimes shows details for firms that have ceased trading.

If you still aren’t having any luck, then try the Financial Ombudsman’s complaints line – they are very friendly!

    Hello :) Since Moneyshop is heading for closure and they don’t do loans anymore should i fill the claim against them or wait for the voting results and possible refund? I had few loans with Payday uk, money shop etc.

    Hi there, I have been going through all my bank statements over the last 7 year and found payment going into my account noted SPEEDCREDIT. Does any one have any idea which loan company that would be or how I could find out? Any help would be great 😊

    • Sara (Debt Camel) says

      I think that was a brand of MCO Capital which was shut down by the regulator in 2012. If so, there is no chance of any refund, it is long gone.

    I had a decent offer from EPDL for two loans recently, but for some reason they are declining to add a third loan from 2007. What can I do to make them accept this also ? Apparently I have 7 days to answer or give more info..

    Reply

    • Sara (Debt Camel) says

      They are in administration. Unless there is some evidence you have about your finances in 2007 – which sounds unlikely – there may be nothing you can do.

      • Anzzzz says

        Thanks Sara. I’m dealing with pwc the administrator. All I have sent them is the two claim forms about the two loans in 2012, and then found out from pwc that they also realised I had one in 2007. I tried to claim a little more as I had a feeling I had an old one. How come they can accept two from 2012 but not the 2007 one ? All loans were paid back in full.

    Hi Sara

    I’ve taken out loans with Payday express & Payday UK in the past. Are these companies still trading or in administration? Had a few loans with them & thinking might be worth trying to get some redress from them.
    Thanks for all your help on here

    Hi Sara,

    Great website, I’ve used it a few times for contact details for companies and to find out that moneyshop were in administration nad hadn’t contacted me.

    There are some companies I had loans with around 2010/2011 and have tried to contact them to request details of my accounts but contact details I have from old emails do not work and I can’t find anything online about them. I’ve looked at your list but can’t see them there either so I am hoping you can help.

    Pounds2day, Debitcardloans.co.uk, Paydayloansltd.co.uk, Chequebookloans.co.uk

    Also 1ststoploans or 1st stop finance. They say they have no info about me whatsoever and inititally said it must be different company but the contact details I have from the loan are the same as on their site now. Can I still complain and if so how, if they say they cannot see any info about me at all?

    Albermarle & Bond who I heard were selling to H & T but cannot find any current pages online about it. Who would I request info from for Albermarle loans? Also I am unsure if I paid them off due to financial circumstances, what would happen if I had not paid them off fully and I contact them for info after all this time? I have already won a complaint with H & T for their own loans recently.

    Thanks for your help,

    Simon

    Sara, this website is brilliant. Thus far, every single company has final lettered me stating not upholding my complaint, bar one – Safety net credit, which has offered to pay me back my interest of £105.

    I have referred the majority to the financial ombudsman, Uncle Buck, QQ, Sunny, Satsuma, you name it. I’ve had some 60 plus loans with these companies over the years.

    I have also referred unsecured loans from 118, and Bamboo loans. What is your experience of people getting money back through these sort of companies?

    Reply

    • Sara (Debt Camel) says

      Lots of people have won complaints against 118 and Bamboo, but they are slow. If you have financial problems at the moment and owe balances to these companies, I suggest you look at a Debt management plan while the complaints go through

    Hi, I’ve had quite a long winded email back from Fernovo not accepting my claim and details different aspects how I always repay debts back which I do to try and get my credit file up. I’m not sure where to go with. How do you refer to financial ombudsmen? I don’t no if to. I had 11 loans since October 18, I usually get loans for 3 months that’s why there isn’t that many.

    Reply

    • Sara (Debt Camel) says

      that sounds like a lot of 3 month loans – there can’t have been many gaps.
      Fernovo will often negotiate if you go back and say what you would be prepared to accept. Do you still owe them anything?
      Would you like list the size of your loans on order, so 200, 300, 250, 300 etc?

      Hi Sarah

      14.10.18 – loan £100 repaid £108.33
      06.11.18 – loan £150 repaid £175.90
      07.12.18 – loan £250 repaid £291.82
      04.02.19 – loan £250 repaid £293.05
      10.03.19 – loan £200 repaid £221.78
      06.04.19 – Loan £200 repaid £224.75
      02.06.19 – Loan £150 repaid £196.26
      31.08.19 – loan £150 repaid £196.75
      02.01.20 – loan £100 repaid £129.77
      31.01.20 – Loan £200 repaid 290.38
      Then my current loan of £200 which I haven’t made any loan repayments to as of yet. As a ‘goodwill gesture for always repaying loans back’ they agreed to remove interest from the last loan so pay in full and remove all loans from credit file
      I’ve always repaid on time. They also put and underlined ‘ All these facts prove you were not in a spiral of debt, and certainly not due to the loans you received from us.’ as well as other comments. I do agree but I had around 9/10 payday loans from
      Satsuma, sunny, uncle buck, moneyboat, cashfloat
      £1500 overdraft I live in. £1000 Vanquis aswell as other credit debts. I don’t want to bring this to the ombudsman as it’s not a lot of interest. Can you think of what I can say to go forward?

      Reply

      • Sara (Debt Camel) says

        I suggest you reply something like “WhenI kept borrowing from you, you should have looked at my credit record. You would have seen my other debts were getting worse and your debts contributed to this. If I go to the Ombudsman I expect I will get refund from after loan 4, possibly loan 5. A refund from after loan 6 would be £213 which would clear my current debt – so as a compromise I am prepared to accept that, plus loans 6 onwards being removed from my credit record.”

    Just a quick question on any experience with Mr Lender.
    I sent them a complaint in March and haven’t heard a dicky bird from them, are they still going?

    Don’t really want to send it up the line but feel it’s getting to that stage.

    Anyone had dealings with them?

    Reply

    • Sara (Debt Camel) says

      yes they are – why not ring them up and ask? If they say they don’t accept complaints by email, say you never had a bounce back from the email you sent to the Ombudsman will treat this as having been validly sent and say your case goes to the Ombudsman in a week if they haven’t given you a a suitable offer.

Do you know if you can make an affordability complaint for a ‘Start Up’ Business Loan (https://www.startuploans.co.uk/) these were issued through Street UK which I have seen on your list (advised to look at Track Loans?) although this isn’t a payday loan or similar?

    Hi all,
    I had a loan with Ferratum and it was passed on to CRS which was then paid through stepchange. Now Ferratum have come back to me and said that I owed a balance of £1,274. I explained to them about the complaint and now they are saying I owe £324 and it’s with Opos. I asked why CRS balance was 0 but they didn’t answer that question and kept sending texts and emails saying I had to pay the balance immediately. Is there any way of proving otherwise?
