Me V's another one! ***SETTLED IN FULL***

stadium_arcadium · 18th August 2006, 11:04

Hi peeps, am near the end (hopefully) of taking on Lloyds, and in the middle of it with Halifax for my mum, and have decided to take on Capital One. I have started this thread to help me keep track of things, especially as I now have 3 ongoing 'battles'

Sent off the Subject Access Request just over a week ago, had a letter yetserday saying Thank you for your recent letter in which you requested copies of all of the statements on your account, blah blah blah, I will send them to you when I get them, from Katherine Blunt. Now it's a case of wait and see.
A year ago I had my card on a payment plan, and as soon as I got within my credit limit again they gave me my card back!! Don't think the charges will add up to more that a couple of hundred, but it's MY couple of hundred and I want it back!

Well, statements arrived today, I had to sign for them. The envelope was battered but not torn anywhere. Quick calculation tots it up to £562!!

I really didn't expect it to be that much. In my letter it states that my statements for Mar 04, Feb and Sept 05 will be forwarded onto me as soon as soon as the archiving dept obtains them. They also went on quite a bit on how my data is used, how they obtain and process data blah blah blah...

So, I will take the next step, request my money back....hope they are easier than Lloyds.....

Recieved a reply from them today, as well as the usual sorry you are not happy but you agreed to pay these blah blah blah, they have offered me the 'difference' between the OFT's £12 and their charge of £20 as final settlement. I will, of course, only accept it as part payment.
the letter also states:
You also asked me to remove the default notice from your credit file. ( no, I didn't!!) We have to record accurate information with credit reference agencies, including late payments and defaults. Your account hasn't defaulted so there isn't a default notice on your credit file. (I knew that, thats why I didn't ask for a default removal!)
They have obviously sent me a template, no surprise there then

stadium_arcadium · 6th October 2006, 12:29

Had a reply from Mr udy, saying sorry you feel my offer of a refund is unacceptable blah blah blah, and the offer is still open and this is our final response.
So, court claim on the 13th it is then.

stadium_arcadium · 21st October 2006, 11:35

stadium_arcadium · 4th November 2006, 10:54

Full settlement letter received today!!!!!

They have paid it into my card account, with the credit balance on it's way to me by cheque! YAY!!

It was the usual we don't admit we were wrong etc, but as soon as that cheque clears I'll be letting the courts know

CONGRATULATIONS

Sorry that your thread doesn't seem to have had much input - thankfully you know the score by now and have been doing just fine 'on your own'.

Don't forget the complete the survey too!

Bookworm · 4th November 2006, 11:20

Woo-hoo!!!!!

Great news!

Great info too, as I have no knowledge of Cap1 myself, and I'm doing a claim for my friend Ana, and she just got the template as you describe above about default removal, so that's great to have your case to refer to in terms of timescales. Fantastic!!!!

stadium_arcadium · 5th November 2006, 11:50

Thanks Jonni and Bookworm

Have filled in the survey and as soon as that cheque is cleared I will be making my donation. This site is invaluable with the amount of information and help available, and I would like to take this opportunity to encourage others to donate, they wouldn't get their money back otherwise, it's worth every penny!!!

BW, I would say that compared to Lloyds, Cap 1 are easy and Ana should get her money back relatively quickly

Bookworm · 5th November 2006, 12:15

Thanks, hun. Fingers crossed, this way, that will give her the capital (capital, geddit? hahah) to get the MCOL against NatWest!

stadium_arcadium · 9th November 2006, 12:41

I have received cap 1's defence today, along with a N150. They are defending saying they have paid me in full. Well as I've not received the cheque yet they haven't exactly paid me in full have they?

I will send them a letter stating I will let the court know it is settled as soon as I have the cleared funds in my account. Do you think it would be a good idea to send the court a copy of the letter too, so they know whats going on?

There was also a 'Court mediation Services' form in with the AQ, haven't seen one of them before.

How's Ana's claim going BW?

Bookworm · 9th November 2006, 20:05

Trying to get her online so she can do it herself! lol.

But at least, the phone calls from the DCA have stopped after I sent a sharp letter about phone harassment.

midge61 · 9th November 2006, 21:14

Well Done

stadium_arcadium · 10th November 2006, 12:26

Thanks Midge61

Wayhay!! recieved cheque in the post today (and they would have got my letter today too haha) so will get that in the bank asap

Glad you got the ball rolling BW
