been thinking of taking similar line in my case, vincymum v barclays post60. I read something similar re POC's on another website. So I'll be watching this thread with great interest.
Good luck to your friend. (If only I knew how to post a link!)

Shows how long it takes me to keep up with everything.

I don't believe it! - got a standard letter from Halifax blah blah OFT case blah blah. Don't they READ letters we send them - made it perfectly clear we were claiming under SSAA 1992 and TCA 2002. OFT case is absolutely irrelevant to this claim.

How far have you got with this Steven?. Of course they don`t read letters. that would take up to much time, and leave less time for them to think up new ways to rip off us poor suckers.

Best of luck with your friends claim Steven, I'm on IB, which is my only source of Income, but even though I told them on the phone & by letter, they still insisted that they were well within their rights, to take it all away from me - but you try telling them that as its IB, you are claiming it because you aren't well enough to work, & because you don't qualify for Income Support, you don't get free prescriptions, & all your much needed meds have to be paid for with something, (& mine are all pain-killers).
I for one will be following this thread with much interest.

Have you tried asking DWP to write to them ja-de??.
that should not be touching your benefits

We sent prelim and are about to send LBA. However, Halifax are messing us about and not replying to Data Protection Act request - in fact they are now in default on this. It means we have not yet sent a schedule of charges but just requested payment of all charges on the basis that they know what they are and all charges are unlawful, whatever they are.

Because this claim is on a differnet basis than all the others, I wanted the POC to be seen and commented on in plenty of time. Current plan is to file in court in 2 weeks so long as we get the statements in that time. We are going to phone the DSAR people in Halifax tomorrow.
