Lowell Group Reviews 349

I've just received a letter from Lowell saying I owe money from a paypal bnpl a.c from 2 years ago.... I don't have this a.c..... interesting to see others are having problems too

I recently received a collection correspondence for a utility bill which I have no knowledge of owing as I have lived outside of the UK for over 10 years and have had to pay any bills for 12 years. I have contacted the company to inform them that this isn't enforceable, also that I didn't enter any agreement with this company to make any type of payment to them so I will not be paying them. They are requesting proof of identity from me which I refuse as I have provided my name, customer number and the amount and the utility providers name. Under Under the Limitation Act 1980, debts of this age are typically considered ‘statute-barred’, meaning that they are not enforceable through the court system. As such, I am under no obligation to repay this debt, nor am I required to provide any further personal information. I have informed them that Continued contact on this issue will be considered harassment, which is against the principles of fair and transparent data use under the Data Protection Act 2018 and GDPR. They have responded to say that they will continue to contact me and they are obliged to continue to tell me the next steps that they will take. These companies are disgusting. They have no morals and do not care about people, they are only interested in money. Ana I read that you deal with buying the debts and therefore you should be aware that people are not obliged to pay you as they have not entered contract with your company to make any kind of payment.

I would not give this company any stars the worst lying corrupt company that i have ever met in my entire life. I hope with me now getting Solicitors involved their company can finally get closed down. They have accused me and Vanquis which they are corrupt as well of owing on my credit card which i don’t as i paid it and so did my dad before i died but guess this they are now wanting the full balance of my credit card even though i have the proof that i have paid it. I also sent the payments to Vanquis to proof that it had been paid and reported it to the Financial Ombudsman and that guy sided with Lowell so was corrupt as well. I now have Solicitors involved and taking legal action and it took me over three years to proof that i didn’t owe my CCJ now finally got it as satisfied but guess who bought it yes Lowell you got it first time. Lowell are so corrupt it is unbelievable.

This company, in collaboration with O2, is scamming people by defaulting and trying to extort money from them.

I have been advising my disabled son about this company, who have been relentlessly chasing him for an alleged debt to O2 , even though O2 have confirmed that he is not liable as he was a victim of fraud. Lowell have been sent copies of written confirmation from 02 to this effect yet still they pursue and harass him.
Incredibly both limited companies listed on Lowell’s letterhead have been subject to compulsory strike off orders, yet they still act for O2. The letterhead refers to Lowell Portfolio I, which is in default of its obligations . Only Lowell Portfolio IV (which isn’t mentioned on their letterhead) is up to date at Companies House, though it is dormant, and was served notice of compulsory strike off before it submitted up to date accounts.They make false claims on their their website. Sadly the laxity of our laws allow the Directors to carry on like this.

For over a year I got automated phone calls for a random name that has never lived at my address. The caller didn't say who they were but googling the numbers gave me Lowell.

Blocking the calls didn't work I still got messages on my answer machine. I reported them to various agencies and they eventually stopped.

Now I'm getting letters for another name, for a debt that was originally owed to EE. Again for someone who doesn't live at my address. This first came up years ago with another recovery agency who apologised and said my address would be removed from their records. It looks like the debt has been sold again and now these clowns have it.

I'd contact them but looking at their reviews that would be a bad idea. I'm not giving them any more of my details than they already have. I know what would happen if I did this.

The debt is for a massive fifty quid I wonder how much Lowell paid for it?
I've sent their latest letter, which have got more threatening, back to them "not known at this address". I somehow doubt that will be the end of it.

I guess they send thousands of these letters and make thousands of these calls hoping some receivers will pay up to get them off their back. I don't know how their workers can sleep at night.

The template replies on here are funny to read though. The pretence that they only harass their "customers" because they are there to help them is so pathetic it's beyond laughable. They only care about getting money by any means. If the person they are harassing isn't the right person, well who cares, as long as somebody pays. What a shocking way to run a business.

Old Lloyds account 2001 your company issued a ccj on a debt that was statute barred by 12 years do you realise it is illegal the ccj failed and was dismissed that was 2014 now 10 years on you are still trying to get payment for a debt that was statute barred in 2007 I've repeatedly asked for copies of cca and proof that the ccj was settled in your favour you gave me some bull about a £1postal order I've asked for evidence of payment guess what you have no records of any thing dear ana what's the point contacting you all you want is money how can you work for company that break the law by trying a ccj on a statute barred debt how can you sleep at night my name is George Taylor 29/12/51 look up your injustice

Replied to 96% of negative reviews. Says it all doesn’t it Lowell

Just answer the phone.

And stop moving the goalposts.

Geting letters from these clowns as well as from Overdales saying I owe a debt I have never heard of dating back to 2015. They claim to have sent the details of the debt (I have no debts, I have never used credit or had a loan etc so I know I have no debts) but the date they say to have started the claim/CCJ is from 2019 and was sent 1 month after a moved home to my old address. Convenient That. I Have left a review for Overdales and will not be providing any further evidence to Lowells either (Overdales review has been confirmed, this is the same thing so must also be confirmed unless the Overdales one is false, which I will be happy to show anybody coming to my door) as I know that if I wait just 1 more year the time limit for getting the debt will be over and the debt (that does not exist) will be written off. I have severe mental health issues, one of which is I am diagnosed as having ASPD (Sociopath) amongst other things. Keep sending the letters and wasting money and trees, I do not mind and shall just continue returning to sender. But you are not going to get a penny from me for something that is nothing to do with me.
I am giving no more information to you con artists, that would just be foolish of myself and I am Definitely not giving over ANY contact information so I can be hounded another way for a debt that doesn't exist. I have already provided evidence to make the Overdales review verified and this is for the exact same non existent debt. I shall wait the year out and get it written off. But if this review gets removed because Lowells believes it to be fake then I shall happily show it to anybody they send as proof they shouldn't be there (why would you send people to get something you admit to be fake?)

scammers, scammers!!!

fraudsters, I have never had a contract with British Gas, and you demand payment for it, your answers make no sense, you are thieves and fraudsters, the worst company in the UK, they should liquidate you

Think we need half stars. Absolutely unhelpful. Total bunch of cowboys. Customer service is shocking. Unsure if they understand the word of being polite. They were supposed to be looking into a case and put Absolutely.no effect in. They work on behalf if O2. Don't get me started on that. They took over Virgin mobile who I had never used. Had a FREE sim with them then O2 decided to bill me for it. I look forward to posting on their website.

Good Afternoon Lowell portfolio it's Annabelle I have received letter saying I owe a debt of 390 of a debt I no nothing about and you a threatening me with CCJ and I have learning difficulties and I have very depressed for the last week and I would like this account to be closed down please because you guys are saying I owe 02 390 which I no nothing about

Called them today, to become a business CUSTOMER. It was impossible to speak to someone, said the receptionist. I really had to email them. I asked why I could not speak to anybody. She actually said she did not know. Wen stating I already doubt their efficiency right now, by saying NO to a potential customer for new business, she said "yeah I understand not trustworthy". Followed by "but please email us". I said I'd take my business elsewhere...

So I had a VERY Shop! account back in 2015
It turned into a default and these tossees are still chasing me .. I bet it’s no longer on my credit report if this harassment does not stop I’ll be instructing my solicitors today to take legal action towards this company am sick and tired of this BS !!

Do not trust them at all. Sharks Chasing Money.
They convinced me not to go bankrupt, or do an IVA.
But to pay off my debt.
So I did and had to wait until 12 months for my credit score to improve.
Guess what.
They recorded 5 defaults against me.
How bad is that
I went months without good nutrition as made myself skint paying these over inflated debts.
Paying it all off absolute disgrace.
I now have to wait a further 3 years for what she promised.
When all they had to do when I called to complain was remove the defaults but to no avail
Don't be fooled by there nice voice and tone.
They took advantage of me.
I am mentally unwell and registered disabled.
I tried to take my own life because of how they treated me.
Shame on them
Hopefully I will make a full recovery.
But it's hard knowing you've been deceived and are very vulnerable.
I hope Karma comes for the company owners, there employees also the person who trained her and the person who took pleasure in conning me.

Absolutely fraudsters!!...my accounts have been closed but yet they still illegally and falsely report defaults each month on my credit file ...I have made a complaint to the ICO and the fca and dpo just waiting to hear back..another fight on my hands but I will take this all the way!

REPORT THEM TO THE FCA AND DEFEND ALL CLAIMS THEY MAKE IMMEDIATELY AS THIS COMPANY JUST LIKE PARASITES WILL CONTINUE TO HARASS YOU AND BREAK THE PROTECTION FROM HARASSMENT ACT 1997!!!!

Such scammers. My mum received a letter claiming she had mobile phone debt of £40. She has never ever missed a payment for a phone company now or in the past. Judging by other reviews it seems a common problem.

Update : As this is now in the hands of my legal representative, I WILL NOT BE ANSWERING YOUR DM'S.
