Exclamation AirScape V Intelliegent Finance

Hi Guys,

Apologies, I know I spelt Intelligent wrong!!

I am currently looking at reclaiming £447 from IF, I sent off my DSAR letter and received a prompt response as i can tell everyone else dealing with IF have, jsut listing charges and telling me that the information i requested was not covered by the Data Protection Act. Personally im not to fussed as to whether or not it is covered as they have provided the information i need!

I am looking at the interest working forms, am i right in thinking that i should be filling this in regardless and going for the full amount as a refund out of court in my preliminary approach for refund? or should i only be applying for the actual charges subjected to my account? I tried to figure out this from the instructions and I couldnt really tell.

Also, as they are a Scottish based bank do i need to add anything into the request for funds covering this point? I am a british resident so i am unsure as to what i should do from here.

Anyhelp would be appreciated!!

Oli

Is this the exel spreadsheet and the 8% interest?You can only claim the 8% interest when you take out a court summons

I dont know about the scottish side of things but why not take a look in the scottish forum .....or in the intelligent finance section

You will have to adapt it to your claim, and delete the parts that dont apply to you

Dear Sir/Madam,

REQUEST TO REPAY OF CHARGES RELATING TO PLAN NUMBER: XXXXXXX

My request
I am writing to ask you to refund to me the charges which you have levied from my account over the last 4 years.

I now understand that the regime of fees which you have been applying to my account in relation to direct debit refusals, exceeding overdraft limits and so forth are unlawful at Common Law, Statute and recent consumer regulations. If you say that they are not, then will you please demonstrate this by letting me have a full breakdown of the costs to which you have been put by as a result of my breaches, in order to reassure me that your penalties really do reflect your costs.


Additionally, it has now been confirmed that your particularly high level of penalties are considered to be unfair per se by the OFT who reported on the 5th April 2006 and are therefore presumed to be unlawful in the absence of specific proof to the contrary.

Your responsibilities
I would draw your attention to the terms of the contract which you agreed to at the time that I opened my account. It is an implied term of that contract that you would conduct yourselves lawfully and in a manner which complies with UK law.

I am frankly shocked that you have operated my account in this way as I had always reposed confidence in your integrity and expertise as my fiduciary. I consider that your repeated representations that your charges are fair and reasonable are deceptive and that they have deceived me into agreeing to pay them.

Your concealment of the true nature of your charges has prevented me from asserting my right until now.

What I require
I calculate that, as at today’s date, you have taken a nett total of £447.00. I request that you refund this amount in full and enclose a schedule of the charges which I am claiming with this letter.


Targets to resolve this matter
I hope that you will enter into a sincere dialogue with me about this matter and I am writing this letter to you on the assumption that you will prefer to do this than merely respond with standard letters and leaflets.

I will give you 14 days from this letters date to reply to me accepting, unconditionally, my request in principle and letting me know a date by which I will receive payment. Therefore I shall expect a response by 16th July 2006.

If you do not respond, or you do not respond positively, within this time period, I shall send you a letter before action giving you a further 14 days in which to reflect. I believe that these targets are more than sufficient for a large company such as yours with dedicated staff and departments.

After that, there will be no further communication from me and I shall issue a claim at the expiry of the second deadline.


Yours faithfully,
-----------------------------------------------------


Let's see what they have to say!

Oli

Exclamation Moneyclaim daily rate of interest

Money claim is suggesting that i detail a daily rate of interest. What should i be putting as this amount - it is talking specifically about the rate of interest from the point of which i file my claim, to the judgement or repayment date.

Hi there
From what I have gathered it is 8% per year for the total sum once logged at MCOL. So your daily rate is 8%/365 = 0.022% of your total claim per day.
EG total claimed £1000, = £1000 * 0.022 = so daily rate is 22p.
hope that helps

Talking Airscape V Intelligent finance

I've won!! Today i received a letter from HBOS explaining that though they will not admit that they agree with the legitamity of my claim they cannot commercially justify the cost of defending it and in turn are sending payment for the charges, interest and the court charges incurred.

The one thing that they did point out is that I made my claim against Intelligent finance, when really as it is a subsidiary i should have Claimed against Halifax PLC.

Still all good news!!! thanks for everyones help!!
