vampish · 21st September 2006, 19:15

Hi all - I was just wondering if I can calim against studio cards gifts, which is a type of catalogue. They have charged me service charges and administration charges which started off at £12.75 and evenually went up o £20.00. Hope you can help.

Thanks Vampish.

If they are penalties for late payment, etc., then they are reclaimable. You need to find out what each type of charge was for.

Thanks will call them to find out.

hows this going with Studio cards.

roboticboy · 10th April 2008, 15:24

Studio have still not sent me my list of charges, etc but the 40 day limit has not yet expired.

I just wish they were as good as Halifax Credit Cards. From requsting charges to taking them to court has only taken 2 weeks. I asked for £854 charges + £149 interest. They offered me £306 & a letter claiming the charges are "appropriate" - sorry.....not good enough....they'll cough up the lot withing about 2 weeks.

Are you persueing Studio Cards also?

The GodMother · 10th April 2008, 15:49

yes i am i will add the link in a minute

Studio Card have pee'd me off.

Received statements & told they'll refund £8.57 of the £10.00 i sent them for the charges list. They'll send this as a cheque. In a cover letter sent with the charge list they mention the fact that their terms are to charge for late payments, etc - wow - they are already on their back foot. Calculated £270.00 of Admin charges. Not bothering with the Service charges as they is conflicting info on this site about if I can claim them or not.

The GodMother · 15th April 2008, 02:53

rite look at my thread and u will see that the service charge is another word for Interest.

U can claim these back. What have u recieved as a CCA?

The GodMother · 15th April 2008, 02:56

they will say the charges are legal but they are not if you dont have a cca.

Push them as much as you can as i am

I am also sneding them F+F of the money they claim i owe once the charges are removed and my conditions are met.

Shout me if u want any help.

roboticboy · 15th April 2008, 09:46

apologies but what does CCA stand for?
