Review of the John Lewis, Partnership Card:

View on product page

NewDay ClownShow

I received my first statement on my John Lewis Partnership Card, managed by NewDay in December 2022 and paid off the balance, in full, the day after it arrived. However, on the 19th January, this year, I received a letter from NewDay, informing me that my John Lewis account had been suspended because I had not made a payment the previous month. I wrote to them in February about this matter, enclosing copies of the receipt that the bank issued, confirming the payment had been made and an extract from the relevant bank statement, showing that the money had been taken from my current account. Four months after providing physical evidence that I had paid off the balance, in full, I am still awaiting a reply. Despite this, the threatening letters from NewDay continued to arrive. So far, a total of 12 letters from this ClownShow have dropped through my letterbox, each of them threatening me with court action and/or passing the matter on to a debt collection company. Each letter also informs me that my credit rating has been adversely affected by this non-debt. I have an excellent credit rating and have never in my life defaulted on a payment to John Lewis or anyone else This matter is having an adverse effect on my mental health. I have had an account with John Lewis for over 40 years but I will never spend another penny in any John Lewis of Waitrose store, ever again. I an taking this matter up with the Financial Ombudsman Reviewed on: 8th June 2023
