Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.

So far i have had no response from Natwest. Called customer services who said they have a record of the request and it should have been sent on the 23rd. She was very confused by the notes on the account but got to the relevant ones in the end. Also said there was no charge for them. Nice to know they respond to our requests, shame we have to follow them up to find this out.
18 days passed on dpa request, chompin at the bit now.......

At last some action on the statements. This morning i got all statements back to july 2003, the date i opened the account. Result i dont have to chase the microfisch ones. THESE ARE PRINT NUMBERED FROM PAGE 1 ONWARDS. This makes me think there fisch arguement is rubish if they have been using it.
I totaled up the charges £240, bit disapointing but hey they hurt when i was at uni with no money.
I have one question about removing defaults. It shows on the statements that i paid 2 x default notice fee, one was refunded but does this mean i was defaulted and paid for them to do it? or is it just their terminology? not sure if i need to include the red bit on the refund request letter.

Another quick thought. I am claiming back on a student account so it has been 0% interest most of the time. On the letter for refund it says in the what i require section about claiming interest and the total amount. Can i just edit it and send it like this:
What I require
I calculate that you have taken £240.
I enclose a schedule of the charges which I am claiming with this letter.
Not sure if this could cause me any problems later on so thought i would ask.

I'm currently a student claiming for some charges but I don't have any interest so I just haven't mentioned it in my letter.
Don't know if this is the right thing to do though?

dont worry clair i have no intention of giving up. recieved a letter today saying they will be in touch by 21/07/2007. I called the person that sent it and asked if it was just an error, he said it was and will be in touch by 21/07/06 as per my 14 days. Think the presure may be showing a little as he wasnt to happy when i spoke to him. Still managed to make it a laughing matter and he seemed to cheer up, fingers crossed for a full refund then.

Natwest have decided to acknowledge my claim today. strange thing is that it is not even deemed issued yet according to the dates i have. what does this mean for my dates? do they still have 28 days from the 3rd of september? or does that start from when they acknowledge the claim? just wondering if they have now speeded up my claim for me.
fingers crossed anyway

Hiya i can see your claiming with Natwest too. When you sent you data protection letter to Natwest asking for the stmnts with just the charges did they send these or all your statements for the last 6 years?

You will get to find out who is defending, if Cobbetts are defending they will file their defence on the last day, if however RBS (Natwest) defend it you might get it back sooner.
