Excellent and Friendly Customer Service

Today I received a call from PRA Group for my six monthly review and dealt with a lovely team member - Laura K.
Laura was very professional, empathetic and understanding of my situation. She was also very patient and put me at ease as we went through my changes in employment and health conditions.
We discussed payment options. I have been paying an amount different to the agreement, which wasn’t a problem but we updated the agreement to reflect this.
It was a pleasure to deal with Laura.

Being able to talk to a real person and not having to struggle with on-line help was a real bonus. I spoke with Sue, who was kind, caring and helpful. A great ambassador for the company. The duty of care given to clients by PRA Group is refreshing.

Always so reassuring and calm

I have just finished talking to Sarah who lad a lovely and calm Scottish accent; it was for one of my 6 month reviews and I have to say that each time I have these review calls, this company are alway so understanding and it’s impressive how they put mine and my families well being first in assessing my financial situation. I’m a believer in paying my dues but have never been pressured to do anything that would put my family in a critical position. They seem to genuinely care and are polite and understand that things go wrong in life and that they are there to help get things back on track. Thank you Sarah for the call and for leaving me at ease.

I would strongly advise anyone to avoid dealing with PRA Group if possible.

Despite clear evidence that a default already registered by Barclaycard has been duplicated by PRA Group on my credit file — which is a clear breach of UK credit reporting laws and FCA regulations — they have refused to take action.

After speaking with two representatives (Nieve and her line manager Jean), I explained in detail that their default was a duplicate entry for the same debt, which is not only misleading, but also illegal under data protection laws and FCA rules. Yet, they completely dismissed my concerns and refused to remove the entry.

Their customer service was unhelpful, dismissive, and uninformed, and they failed to acknowledge even the basic legal standards around credit reporting. I’ve now had to escalate the issue to the Financial Ombudsman Service because PRA Group has failed to treat my complaint seriously or fairly.
