An online community has gathered to campaign for changes in the working practices of one South Wales brokerage. Cwmbran-based, Yes Loans UK, has come under fire by clients and consumer action groups for accepting an administration payment of £49.50 and not refunding fees for up to six months, even when applications are declined. Consumers on the blagger.com site have also written numerous accounts of being put on hold for long periods on a telephone line that charges 10p per minute, with some clocking up telephone bills of up to £52.50 for one call. **Nothing like providing an expensive line for customer complaints. Customers have also raised concerns of the involvement in the business of shareholder, Keith Chorlton – a disqualified company director. Yes Loans UK is a completely separate company to the similarly-named Yes Loans and Mortgages, based in Cardiff. Gordon Bon, director of Yes Loans UK, admitted that some customers to the call centre have had difficulties speaking to a representative. He explained: “We are very sorry for people that are unable to get through. We have many thousands of calls. My understanding from our customer care team is that we are not able to return every UK call and we return a large number of calls.” However, Bon said many accounts on the blagger.com site were simply not true. He said: “The vast majority of them are inaccurate and it is not for us to comment on people’s inaccuracies.” **Although is it his place to comment on the BBC X-Ray program, featured further down or the bit run in the Daily Mirror or maybe even why Keith "Don't call me Wilmot" Chorlton is involved with the company? The increasing volume of complaints from lobbying customers however, has triggered a response from the Association of Finance Brokers (AFB). Robert Sinclair, director of the AFB, said there are a number of customers that appear to have difficulties understanding the way in which Yes Loans UK operates its business. He added: “The recent changes to Consumer Credit Act legislation are designed to encourage consumer to complain. This then allows the OFT to take account of any Financial Ombudsman Service judgements before the renewal of a consumer credit licence. “Should individuals have a legitimate case for complaint against any company, I would encourage them to do so to the Ombudsman.”

If everyone takes 5 minutes of their time out who has been affected by these con artists and sends letter/email or call to Financial ombudsman services, they have the power to stop renewal of the credit consumer licence, thereby making the company unable to trade. see link below for complaints form:

As ever the ever dubious disqualified director Mr Keith Wilmot Chorlton keeps on laughing at the law.
If anyone out there has problems with Yes Loans, they can speak directly to Alan Paul Spedding at alan.spedding@yesloans.tv or alternatively they can call 01633 712937. I have pop'd a pic of Mr Spedding in above. (Or maybe not if the tale be true of him doing a bunk)
