Re: Cento Client Review

out of interest - end of april 2009 the welsh government registered chattels mortgage and debenture (second charges) against cellcomcommunications ltd - and in 2008 cellcom receive government grants of 13000, so assume they have now had a loan from the Welsh govenment to

a capital grant to build new premises or extend existing property
a capital grant to help refurbish, extend or fit-out existing or new premises.

Re: Cento Client Review

You should email the OFT and ask them if cento need a ccl for performing the activities they are performing.

Ahhh Yes i meant that forbes douglas had a CCL. Cento are purportedly telling you what forbes would be doing, ie not advising you themselves just saying when you are with forbes you'd be paying them etc, so not sure if they need a CCL for basically selling forbes ?

I was not querying Forbes Douglas, it was Cento Client Review that I believe
Righty said must hace a CCL.

That being the case who would I complain to in respect of a CCL licence is it the OFT and or TS.

Thanks

Just done a search on the regisiter using CCL 551641, I cannot see how Cento Client review is included on this registration, but I recognise Peter Wyte at Forbes Douglas, the gentleman I spoke to last week as having been added. It was he who told me that Cento needed a CCl and that i should check them out. As he is an officer on behalf of Forbes Douglas he should be aware if they were on their licence.

Re: Cento Client Review

Forbes Douglas ( Forbes~Douglas | Frequently Asked Questions ) are Anoco UK LTd as are ''trading partners' - RefundsDirect Ltd, Cento Client Review (cellcom communications ltd), Chambers Moore Ltd ( Consumer Credit License No. 551641 Debt Solutions, Claims Management, Debt Consolidation. ), Walker Davis ( PPI Misselling - How to Claim Compensation - Missold Loan Protection Insurance ), My Simple Claim Limited

so they may have a cCL ?

Who do we complain to on this, is it the OFT, or Trading Standards or both.

As this is next on my list.

Aside from acting for clients in respect of unenforceable agreements if they are giving financial advice (such as NOT making payments) they MUST have a CCL

Re: Cento Client Review

Just to confirm that today I have sent Mr Graham Howe at Forbes Douglas a a thorough complaint and requesting that he answers me on many points that we are concerned about.

I will post up his reply once received.

Re: Cento Client Review

tuttsi - have you had a read of the moj claims regulation annual report and impact study ? i think you will like it - I have posted most of the salient points.

I think you are correct in that if Cento are 'advising' or as they have said 'holding' peoples money and if they are unsuccessful pay it to the creditors (ffs) then yes they would need a CCL.

We need those people who have been told to do this to contact the MOJ or would be very helpful for someone to have it in writing. i wonder if anyone has actually gone ahead and done this ?

Re: Cento Client Review

This was taken off another thread on this site posted by Ame earlier this year. From what I am reading, am I correct in saying that CMC's should also hold a Consumer Credit Licence with the OFT. I have tried checking Cento Client Review/ Client Connection Ltd and Forbes Douglas and neither of them appear to be registered. As I am particularly interested in the bit where consumers are told not to pay their loans as this would seem that this is against OFT guidlines and CMC's have to hold a licence.



OFT guidance
3.The Consumer Credit Act 1974 (the Act) requires companies who offer debt counselling/adjusting services to consumers to be licensed by the OFT. Businesses who are authorised by the MoJ to provide Claims Management Services will also need to be licensed under the Act if they engage in any debt counselling/adjusting activities, including the following:

·advising on how to restructure debts, how to alter debt repayments or how to achieve early resettlement of debts
·contacting creditors and/or negotiating with creditors, on behalf of the debtor, in order to make any of the above arrangements (whether that contact amounts to 'negotiation' or not)
·providing a facility for the debtor to make a single repayment which is then distributed on his behalf to his creditors

4.Following implementation of the new licensing provisions by the Consumer Credit Act 2006 on 6 April 2008, a business applying for debt related licence categories will need to submit a Credit Competence Plan (CCP) as part of its application and should expect to be subjected to an on-site visit as part of the assessment of its competence to engage in this activity as the OFT considers such credit activity to be high risk.


1.From April 2008, licensed businesses can have specific requirements imposed on them if the OFT is dissatisfied with any matter in connection with the business. If such a requirement was not complied with, the business concerned could be subject to a financial penalty of up to £50,000. The OFT can also refuse or revoke a licence if it decides that a trader is not fit to hold one.

2.The OFT published Debt Management Guidance for licensees in December 2001. It applies to all those providing financial management services including commercial debt advice where the debts arise under consumer credit or consumer hire agreements.The Guidance sets out minimum standards of behaviour expected of licence holders engaging in the provision of debt management services, which seek to provide advice and to re-schedule customers' repayment of debt and charge for doing so. Key principles of the Guidance are transparency, acting in the best interests of the consumer and keeping the consumer informed. The Guidance states that advertisements and other promotional material must be accurate and clear and must not mislead, either expressly or by implication or omission. The spirit as much as the letter of the Guidance would apply to Claims Management Businesses where their activities relate to advising and/or otherwise assisting consumers with their debts.
