Go for it, we are with you all the way. insist that you get all the notes also not just the statements. it will be an enlightening read to see what they have written about you. i still haven't got my notes and this was the basis of my complaint to the Information Commissioner. I hope A & L are soon brought to book.

I have received another letter after I sent my letter before action. It says that they think the charges are correct in accordance with their charging policy, so they are unable to refund me.

Wot !

Do I now take them to court or send them the letter before action again.

Any idea's

A very worried Lesley

That sounds like the letter that i got in response to my original letter requesting refund of charges. Could the letter and your LBA crossed in the post?

If it was me i would just stick to the time limit that you gave them in the LBA that you sent, and then start the moneyclaim process; but i'm no expert!

Hi all, I have received a reply to my LBA, saying no can do and they can no longer assist me any further 'their words not mine', apparently you have to wait until the 14 days are up then file your claim, but you can start preparing your claim, you can go to the money claim website and look at the FAQs. Good luck.
