  • Lowells Financial: Freedom of Information Act Request/Enforcement Action

    As most LBers will know, Lowells Financial have recently had a statutory demand case go against them in respect of their use of Statutory Demands and attempts to have debtors declared bankrupt. They withdrew the day before the final court hearing.
    It is considered that this most recent behaviour by Lowells Portfolio is an example of the contempt Lowells Financial has shown for those it targets, the Office of Fair Trading, its regulator, and the law, generally.

    It is, therefore, proposed that a request be submitted to the Office of Fair Trading, under the Freedom of Information Act, seeking information about Lowell Financial's compliance record since 1 January 2009 and whether complaints submitted to OFT Credit Fitness Team have been sufficiently serious to warrant enforcement action.

    Would LBers who have posted on LB about the manner in which Lowells Portfolio has treated them please post up their experience in a post and whether they submitted a complaint to OFT Credit Fitness team and Trading Standards.

    Likewise, if you have visited LB, but not posted, please feel free to post your experiences with Lowells Portfolio.

    For the purposes of the Freedom of Information Act request, would you please post up the questions you feel should be put to the Office of Fair Trading.

    If you are posting about your experiences with Lowell Portfolio, please keep it as brief as possible, covering the main points. If your experiences are considered serious enough to refer to the Office of Fair Trading, you may be asked to provide a more comprehensive account which can then be attached to an email I will send to the Office of Fair Trading's Credit Fitness Team. Acceptable file formats include MS Word, PDF.

    Thank you and I hope this thread will result in enforcement action against a debt collection agency that is long overdue.

      I have read it, Fuzzy, and that sort of case is prime ammunition. If case summaries are sent to OFT, I will PM you an email address to send documents to for onward transmission to OFT.

        subscribe. Mine is not Lowell but Mackenzie Hall, who I think are part of the same group. I will do a summery if you like?

          Good on you Bluebottle!!!!

          I know someone who's going through this with Lowels now. I'll see if I can can get him to summarise for me. Dont think he'd want his name to be used.
