Hi,
thanks for your reply!
I've gotten a letter from Wescot now with their account-details.
I've gotten a letter from Wescot now with their account-details.
So I intend to start paying them token-payments from next month.
The problem now is that the Jobcentre has stopped sending me my jobseekers allowance.
This is making problems for my budget, since I don't have any income.
Could you please tell the Jobcentre to start answering my complaints and send me my jobseekers allowance?
They have missed four fourtnightly payments now.
So it's been more than two months since their last payment.
Thanks in advance for any help with this!
Best regards,

Hi Erik.
Thank you for your email.
You will need to contact Wescot directly to request their details for you to make tokens to them.
Kind regards

Hi,
ok, I don't think I have gotten their sort-code and account-number.
Do you know this?
I also sent you an update, on Saturday, after the e-mail you replied to now.
I'll paste that in this e-mail now.
Best regards,
Erik Ribsskog
PS.
Hi,
I got a new income and expenditure-form in the post from you today.
From 11/10, with the reference D3/49597867.
I contacted your partned Capital One last automn, regarding my new budget.
I offered you a token-payment-agreement on £1 a month, untill I got a full-time-job.
Capital One told me my signature wasn't mine, so this process have stalled, since last year.
Now you get back to me.
I'm still unemployed but I'm trying to set a business up, on my spare-time.
And the Jobcentre is 'messing' with my jobseekers allowance.
So at the moment, I have to say I don't have any income.
I could get back to you when I get the jobseekers allowance back.
And then I would offer you the same as last time, £1 a month in token-payments.
I've since last year gotten a flat witch was unfurnitured.
So any money I have left after token-payments each month I now buy furniture and other things for the flat with.
And I was going to set up a new budget, when I got a full-time job.
And I'm going to do that.
But I don't think it's right that I have to set up a new budget now, because your partner said my signature wasn't mine, and didn't accept my new budget, last year.
This has taken so much of my time now, so you should really just delete the debt, I think.
I'm on Ladders, so I have a high income-potential.
All the hours I've spent on you and Captial One should add up to arround the debt I owe you, I think.
So I'm looking forward to hearing from you that my debt with you has been deleted!
Hope this is alright!
Best regards,
Erik Ribsskog

Good morning Erik,
Thank you for contacting us about Wescot.
To make token payments to Wescot you do not need to fill in a giro slip. All you need is their sort code and account number and also the Wescot reference number starting with DM or D3. You then need to go into your bank and ask them to send £1 payment to Wescot by bank transfer. They may reject the offer of payment but they won’t reject the £1 payment you send and this will reduce the debt in time.
If you need any advice then please do not hesitate to call us.
Kind regards

thank you for your e-mail!
I'm not paying token-payments at the moment.
I'm not paying token-payments at the moment.
Wescot have sent me a budget-form again now.
But as your collegue there have previously told me I don't have to fill out this form to get token-payments.
I've offered Wescot a token-payment-arrangement like a 'million' times.
But they haven't sent me giros or anything.
And this is taking a lot of my time now.
Because I've been offering Wescot, (and Capital One), a token-payment-arrangement since last year now.
And all I get are standard letters which tells lies like that I haven't replied to their letters.
When I've sent about a million e-mails to them, which I haven't gotten replies to.
So I now copy this e-mail to Wescot.
And I hope they'll send me some giros for the token-payment arrangement of £1 a month now.
Or tell me what information they need from me to set up a direct-debit-agreement.
So I hope this will be sorted now.
Thanks again for the e-mail!
Best regards,
Erik Ribsskog

Please try not to worry about the contact you have received as this is a standard procedure for creditors to take. Nelson Guest & Partners are an internal collections department who work on behalf of Wescot to collect the outstanding balance.

I hope this is helpful and reassuring.

Hi,
on Saturday I got a letter from Nelson Guest & Partners Solicitiors, witch I attach a scanned copy of.
I'm don't have the chance to pay 50% of the dept, av the moment, unfortunately.
I'm repeating my offer of a token-payment-arrangement again.
(Which I've done many times earlier).
I don't understand why you do so much 'mumbo-jumbo' surrounding this.
This should be a straight forward tokey-payment agreement.
I hope the CCCS can tell you to stop with your funny letters and just accept my token-payment-agreement, which I have offered you, a million times, (to exaggerate, but anyway).
Captial One even have a football-cup named after you, but you don't seem to be a serious company.
It's like being on the candid camera to try get a token-payment-agreement agreed with you.
Erik

I repeat my token-payment offer on £1 a month, like I offer all my other creditors untill I find new employment.
Hope this is alright!

I thought it was like you write here, with the budget-form etc., from when I went to business-school, in the eighties.
Even if that was in Norway, I think business-law is mostly the same in the western world.
Mostly based on old British business-law, if I'm not mistaking.
Thank you very much for the help with this!
The information I sent to Capital One was a new token payment-offer after I had to move to Sunderland for some months last year.
If I remember it right.
I now found a letter on my blog, from Capital One, from 2009, when they also complained about my signature, (so this has happened in both 2009 and 2011), which I attach.
Thanks again for the advice!

Hi Erick
Thank you for your email about your Wescot and Capital One accounts.
If you have concerns over the wording of the letter from Wescot, I would advise you to raise a complaint directly with them.
The complaint procedure can take up to 8 weeks and if you are unhappy with any response they give you, you can raise this further with the financial ombudsman service.
You don’t need to fill out the budget form that Wescot have sent you. You have advised them that you have already completed a budget with us. Both forms cover the same areas. If you need a copy of the budget that you completed with us, please let me know as I can send this out to you. The budget can also be sent to Capital One.
I wouldn’t advise you to stop making payments towards the Wescot account. It is in your best interest and benefit that you carry on making a token payment. It will show that you are willing to pay the account off.
If you don’t make a payment, the creditor can take further action./span>
I understand you would like to keep the contact in writing but it is also best that you call them to discuss your concerns. This will eliminate any responses about them not receiving your letters.
You can ask for a Data Access Request from them which will provide you with all the notes made on your account. There may be a charge for this request.
Can you advise me what information you sent to Capital One for them to reject your signature? If your signature hasn’t changed, I would advise you to contact Capital One and ask for a further explanation, i.e. are they comparing your signature to the signature on the original credit agreement?
Again, you can ask for a Data Access Request to see what has been noted on your account and there may be a charge for this request.
I hope this has been helpful.
If you have any further queries, please contact us on 0845 272 5400, lines are open 8am to 6pm, Monday to Friday, you can email us at client.service@cccs.co.uk.

Hi,
I've gone to business-school and letters shouldn't contain lies even if they are standard letters.
Here it's obvious that the standard letter is used wrongly.
I'm not making a token-payment here, you haven't read up.
Please escalate to your line manager.
Erik Ribsskog
PS.
And I don't think it's a good idea to call these companies.
It's better to keep the correspondence in writing, so to keep documentation about what has been agreed.
PS 2.
You haven't commented on that Capital One told me my signature wasn't mine.
I want to please escalate this to your line-manager.
Hi Erik
Thank you for contacting us about your account with Wescot.
Creditors will often send standard collection letters out to you. Standard letters will include certain phrases that may not fit entirely, such as "we have not received a reply".

Unfortunately even though you are making a token payment we cannot stop creditors from contacting you. You should continue to keep your creditors up to date with your financial situation and offer them the most fair and reasonable offer you can.
It may be best to call your creditors and speak to someone directly. That way all issues can be discussed there and then.

Hi,
I'm refering to your Final Notice-letter from 17/9, which I recieved today.
You there write: 'but we have not received a replyto our previous correspondence'.
But this isn't right, I've earlier written to you e-mails a lot of times offering a token-payment.
Is this the Candid Camera?
Your partner Capital One also did a practical joke like this, when they told me my signature wasn't mine last year.
Please stop with the monkey-business, and be serious.
I hope the CCCS can stop your funny bailiff-actions and lies.

Good afternoon
Thank you for your email.
There isn't anything in the Consumer credit Act that states you must supply these details to a creditor. You can always provide them a copy of the budget and list of creditors that you have done through us.
Regardless of whether they accept the offer or not please continue to make the token payment.
Kind regards

*******867 (Regarding Capital One-debt).
Hi,
I've told Wescot I'm unemployed and have offered them a £1 monthly token-payment untill I find new employment.
(Like I've offered my other creditors).
Wescot don't accept but wants me to fill out an income and expenditure-form.
I can't remember that you at CCCS have mentioned that I have to fill out a form like that, when I do budget-work.
It's like they go a bit to close, and this seems unecessary, to me.
What do you think at CCCS about this?
Does the law say that I have to fill out a form like that?
I attach the letter from Wescot.
Yours sincerely,

To: offers@wescot.co.uk
Hi,
I got an income and expenditure-form, in the post, from you, earlier this week.
I don't understand the point in me filling out that form.
I've already told you that I'm on budget in co-operation, with the CCCS, and that I only can afford to pay a token-payment, (on £1), untill I find new employment.
So this is my offer.
I don't understand why you send me this form.
I think is unnessesary paper-work then.
None of my other creditors have sent me a form like that.
They have just accepted my token-payment-offer.
So I hope you can set up a direct debit-agreement, for £1 a month, for this debt.
Hope this is alright!
