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

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

QuickQuid, Onstride, Pounds to Pocket, Wonga, Wageday Advance (Curo), Sunny (Elevate), Peachy (Cash on Go), the Money Shop, PaydayUK , Payday Express  – the deadline to submit claims has now passed.

Uncle Buck – there are no funds for distribution to customers whose loans have been settled.

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; Capfin (other brand names Ecash Window & EPDL); 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; Microlend; 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; Response Funding (other brand name Fancy a Payday); Speed Credit; Speed-e-loans; Speedycash; Speedy Dosh; Swift Sterling loans before December 2015 – these were from a Malta-based lender and it is now too late to make claims about these old loans; Swift Sterling loans from 2016 onwards these loans were from a UK lender where it is too late to make a claim in administration; Toothfairy; 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.

The info here may not be up to date. so the safe thing is for you to look in the company’s website to see how to make a complaint or what form to complete if the lender is in administration.
If you can’t locate the website, talk to the Financial 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.

      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,

    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

    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?

    • 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.

    Hi there,

    I received notice from Uncle Buck’s administrators today that my claim was upheld and I am entitled to redress (£51) but it will not be paid due to lack of funds in the administration. They also stated that they will be removing all records of my loans from my credit record.

    I still have a loan of £750 which I am paying via my DMP. Do I need to keep paying this?

    Thanks

    Hi,
    Thank you for all your help so far – I’ve managed to clean up my credit report and get a tiny bit of redress from companies.

    I am trying to look into my liability in continuing payments to ACS who are collecting on behalf of DHR Capital/ Toothfairy Finance. I have no doubt that this loan was definitely unaffordable, however I worry I’ve left it far too late to do anything about it. All records have long dropped off my credit report which is great, but I’m still paying £10 per month to ACS – my balance still stands around £800 and I’m certain that it’s entirely ancient interest I’m paying now. Is there any argument for stopping payments with ACS based on the unaffordability of the loans in the first place, or is it something I just have to suck up and continue reluctantly paying for 80 more months?

    Thank you

    Hi Sara
    I have a balance of just over £1200 I am paying to Peachy. I have just seen that the deadline to claim has passed – 12th Dec 2020. Does this mean my loan wont be looked at at all? I am gutted I missed the deadline if this is the case as I was sure it would be wiped. I have been in a DMP for the last year and it was this loan that pushed me into it. I thought they would contact me directly – this is what has happened with other lenders – Payday UK, Sunny etc.

    Also, I had a loan with Uncle Buck, and was paying through my DMP. They had it passed to Conexus. The balance was over £600. I received a full and final offer for repayment of £97 – which I paid as I thought it was too good to miss. I received an email from UB telling me my account is now paid. However, now when I log in to my Uncle Buck account my balance is -£97, and to contact them because I may have mad an over payment. Do you have any idea why this has happened? did UB wipe my account? I have had no other contact from UB.

    Thank you!

    • Sara (Debt Camel) says

      So you hadn’t complained to Peachy before? Why not?
      If you have other high cost debts in your DMP complaint to them now, don’t wait until the lender goes bust and hope they contact you.

      UB – no idea you need to ask them.

        Thanks for responding. Yes, I did complain and they rejected it. Then they went bust very soon after this. So I’m wondering if I needed to put in another claim (and missed deadline) for them to consider wiping the balance on current loan, or if I’ve completely missed out and continue paying loan off.

    Hi Sara wondered if you could help,
    I’ve emailed an affordability complaint regarding loans taken from money boat…
    I took a total of 6 loans from April 2015
    They were all taken straight after one was paid off …First 3 was for £200 3rd was for £350 and 4th and 5th loan £400 each, last loan defaulted and took 8 months to pay…they have responded with a fully detail email showing my disposable income at the time etc and they said they have mot acted irresponsibly etc but have offered to pay me 50% of all interest paid ..I paid a total of £449 they are offering to return £232 plus removing the negative default info on my file….

    Do you think this is s a good offer or do you think I should go to financial obunsdman to get all interest refunded..my concern is I don’t want to lose the deal they are offering if financial onundsman cannot get all refunded?

        Hi Sara

        Yes the below is what I borrowed and how much interest I paid…the last one was paid off over 8 months as went into arrangement plan and last payment was January 2017

        Laon1 borrowed £200 paid £32.18
        Loan 2 borrowed £200 paid £71.32
        Loan 3 borrowed £200 paid £40.46
        Loan 4 borrowed £350 paid £79.98
        Loan 5 borrowed £400 paid £116
        Loan 6 borrowed £400 paid £120

    • Sara (Debt Camel) says

      It’s not the worst offer I have seen…

      If it went to FOS, then FOS doesn’t normally uphold the first few loans. In your case there is a good chance that they would say Moneyboat should have looked more closely at loan 4 – yopu had 3 loans before and now you were trying to borrow a lot more.
      That would be a refund of £310 plus 8% intererest would be £400+

      If FOS only upheld the last two loans, that would be a refund of £236 plus 8% interest = £300+

      You could go back to them and say you would also get 8% interest on the loans, you think FOS would uphold from loan 4 onwards but in the interest of a speedy settlement you would be happy to settle on £350.
