What actually should happen is that solicitor should check each and every one of these letters before they are sent out. In actual fact what happens is that they are sent out in a mass mailing and as they ar ''standard letters'' the soliocitor feels its not nessecary to check them. However as they are standard letters they often do not relate to the queries raised by the person to whom they are sent. Therefore a complaint should be made to the Society of Solicitors as these letters breach all the rules

O.K. Guys and Gals, now we have joined the Robinson Way and EOS fan clubs due to hubby's 3 accounts with Sainsbury's/BOS. Despite only supplying one card request form with helpful compliment slip "enclosed copy of application form as requested!" and defaulted ages ago, loads of letters from our side, threats of court action from theirs, they've passed him over to these bleep bleepers , my question is presumably we (that'll be me then, coz he can't type) have to CCA them as well?

They should not have passed on the debt whilst it was in dispute. Sainsburys and BOS still have to comply with you legal request for your CCA. Write to Robberscum Way and tell them that you are still dealing with Sainsburys and BOS re this disputed debt which they have no legal right to be dealing with.

Thanks ODC, since dealing with unhelpful TS's have lost a little confidence regarding the guidelines, will sort out a suitably stern letter.

Well if you ask for a copy of BOS's complaints procedure and then go through that you can then report them to the FOS after BOS don't deal with your complaint to your satisfaction.

I see you have letters presented so that details show through the envelope window . Just as I have . So this is a deliberate attempt by them at psychological harassment . For me to present my 4 letters to OFT displayed in such a manner, they (RW) could say it is a mistake. But you are proof the practice is more widespread.

Of course, when I emailed their departments to complain, I inadvertantly sent them to the wrong people . They were far to high up to deal with an issue like that from a nobody like me. They were not too happy about information getting displaced and seen where it should not be.

Even got a letter sent regarding it . Most perturbed they were.

An irony under the circumstances.

But it stopped them doing it again.

But that was in my naive days when I was trying to stop their illicit practices. Today I would welcome them . As our fine Lord Admiral Horatio Nelson once said : Gentlemen, when the enemy is committed to a mistake we must not interrupt him too soon.
