Uncle Buck was a short-term loan lender.
Claims against Uncle Buck have closed. It went into administration on 27 March 2020 after FCA action, and the Ombudsman stopped considering complaints against it. New claims aren’t realistically possible.
What you can still do
- Check your other lenders. Most people who used Uncle Buck also borrowed elsewhere, and many of those lenders still trade. See which lenders we check.
- Check your credit file. If old accounts show wrongly (for example as unpaid when they were settled or written off), you can ask for them to be corrected. See how to get your credit report for free.
- If your loan was sold to a debt purchaser, you can still complain to them about how they’re collecting it.
