Re: Compass debt company

It's just dawned on me that Bournes were also in Nottingham.

Same people.

Re: Bournes Debt Solutions (Bournes Limited) - FCA requirements & administration

Hi
I am Mark Harrison mentioned above.
i was a director of RMMR associates ltd along with Robert Solloway,Richard Mott and Michelle Gilbourne.
we opened the company some time ago but were uncomfortable with Michelle Gilbourne.
The company never traded and was dormant for years.
We only got around to closing it formally this year.

None of us have any connection in any way with this terrible company or any of its directors.


Hope that clears things up and good luck to you all

Mark

Re: Compass debt company

In a statement, Mrs Solloway said the company, belonging to her husband Robert, had "sadly gone into receivership".

She said: "Whenever any business ends in this way it is always a very sad and emotional time for all involved. Our thoughts are with all those who have been affected.

"I have never undertaken, in any capacity, any role in his business either unpaid, advisory or otherwise."

I see they are I the news today, Rob Solloway and his MP wife not a pleasant story.

Geeez - wish I had seen that picture of Amanda Solloway and her husband before I went to Compass - I know you shouldn't judge people by their looks but these two do not give you any confidence they (or at least HE) should be handling people's money and sensitive debt cases. I wish there was a way their properties and assets could be seized in order to help repay clients' pot accounts. The other 2 directors drove Porsches and Range Rovers each! Some people have lost in excess of £10K from their pots. I say lost as I doubt there will be much left to share out.
And Amanda is a Business Consultant - it beggars belief. I hope the people of Derby see who is representing them. Surely she must have known her husband was sailing far too close to the wind - the company accounts show there is no significant assets or money in their accounts.

The good people of Derby need to learn more about their MP.

Re: Compass debt company

Those are the ones I mentioned earlier Nibbler ( in chatbox), if it is they, then they have no licence for debt management plans and may not hold client money..

I must have been looking up a different one myself at the time, as I did see these but dismissed them PDQ

Really don't seem appropriate to refer someone to who has just had a DMP fail on them.

No, but it may just be a not very informed Union rep not really appreciating the difference, trying to be helpful, and working from a script.

Re: Compass debt company

I suspect very very few of the people who have been caught up in this will attend the meeting, it will mainly be the big creditors ( eg payment services provider, bank loans, photocopier rental lol etc )

Did you read the Bournes thread ? http://legalbeagles.info/forums/show...administration ( it's a bit long so skip to the end.... oh it's still not sorted, and it all kicked off Sept 2014.

I really really hope this isn't as bad as that one.

Thanks Amethyst. I'm sure a fair number of clients will be there too. I will make a point of being there purely out of interest to learn more about what's happening and the process from here onwards.

I will report back.

All Beagles are cute!

Re: Compass debt company

In a Daily Mail Article published today ( Saturday 12th ) Alan Simon, of AABRS insolvency specialists, said at least 500 clients are thought to be affected. Asked if their money had been safeguarded, he said: ‘We don’t know where it is yet, we are still looking into that. We are working with the FCA.’

I think I know where it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If it were safe in another client account, surely they would have found it by now. If it's disappeared no doubt fraud investigations will be started?

500 clients - I hope the venue for the administrators meeting is big enough.

Re: Compass debt company

Thank you Wingco still a bit mind blown at the moment but my union have put me in touch with a company called lighthouse still waiting for a call back, would find out just on a weekend. But will look into everything you have put here thanks again

Hi Taff

Be very careful with ANY DMP company. You can use this site and do everything yourself and look after your situation - you know it best. Unions aren't necessarily experts on DMPs although they do a lot to help their members - it's just not the best first port of call for this type of specialist help. Nibbler, Openlaw15, Debt Camel and Amethyst and many others will give you all the assistance to do this correctly. And I'm going through it about 2 weeks ahead of you. I'll keep you posted on my progress. So far 8 out of 12 'creditor companies have accepted my self-managed DMP.
I've sent out 6 CCA letters (Templates in the library on this site) to the credit card Debt Collection Agencies (DCAs)
Don't panic or worry - there are thousands of people in our boat and the DCAs buy our debts for probably less than one tenth of the debt. They then push people for settlements or large repayments. But having been in a DMP with Compass, you are well placed simply to continue with their agreed payment levels but without Compass fees. The CCA will protect you against demands for full settlement of your debt.

Re: Compass debt company

Lighthouse ? ? Do you have the details of them.

Theres one DMP company I can see called Lighthouse but they lost their licence last May.

Make sure you check out any company first https://www.fca.org.uk/register - on there and look around the forums - google etc.
