Avoid This Company They Are Disgraceful

Avoid using this very uncompassionate, thoughtless, aggressive and totally unprofessional company. I had a bill that I was paying by agreed installments, I became seriously ill and could not make the final payment of £300

The solicitor who undertook the work for me said that she would inform accounts not to pursue. Despite this I was threatened by one of the owners of the company a female who made horrendous threats to me. I had just lost my uncle to the corona virus, my fiancé was working in A&E on the corona virus unit at the time when there was a shortage of PPE and was working 12 hour shifts in tough conditions.

I kept Larken & Co informed that I was at that stage unable to pay the £300 and that I required more time, they ignored this and made horrendous threats which had a detrimental effect on my health in an already stressful time.

I had regularly made payments so this was not a case that I did not want to pay, it was simply at that present time I had no income and could not afford to pay.

This company was not one bit compassionate, all they wanted was their £300 no matter what, despite the fact that I had a payment plan in place.

They threatened to take me to court which was an absolute joke as any Sane Judge would have kicked the case and them out of court.

Save yourself lots of trouble and use a reputable company, one who does not make threats to a vulnerable person.

Their complaint system is NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE. They did not even have the social intellegence to telephone me to discus this matter like an adult would.

This whole matter could have been handled in a professional and compassionate manner and not Bully and make horrendous threats to one of their customers.

I was forced by the site to give a star, please note I do not even give this company one star.

I deeply retreat ever Instructing this "Cowboy Outfit" of a company!
