    Default Trading Standards

    Hi everyone, feeling a bit fed up to-day. Having spent lots of time preparing various reports on various cc's still chasing our family despite not supplying cca's and SARicon's and sending it to local TS had 'phone conversation with our local TS who said that whilst it is my right to do this, creditors could go to court and say that having the statements proves we've had the money.

    Pointed out that one of the CAGicon members has just won a case using the Wilson case but they say it is not within their remit to do anything and pointed me in the direction of Clearstart and CAB - grrr I have already been there!!! Is there any point in complaining to the OFT or the Information Commissioner's Office if that is the kind of response? What is the point of having the rules and regs of the CCA if TS won't act

    Sorry to hear about your bad experience with TS.
    You are completely correct in the No CCA = COMPLETE defence route especially using Wilson as precedent (House of Lords - Wilson and others v. Secretary of State for Trade and Industry (Appellant))

    As TS have basically washed their hands of this issue you next recourse if the OFT.
    It might be worth talking to the CAB, but they will probably point your to TS again.

    Be VERY careful whose advice you listen too

    Thanks for that Curlyben, I won't be going the CAB route as we had a better system i.e. CCCS - still didn't stop Citibank getting up to no good! Going to keep on fighting with the help of everyone here!

    Might even be worth thinking about a complaint to the fosicon as well.

    OFT will only refer to TS's or suggest fosicon.

    You can also report the unhelpful trading standards department. You say you had a phone conversation with them - well go and see them. Ask for their names, ask for details of their refusal to act in writing. Ask or the names of the senior officers, ask you councillor to go with you to the meeting. The door shouldn't have been closed on you so quickly.

    Actually, DMD, she did mention that to me.

    Thanks for your support NailPost, unfortunately, matter of working full time and ancient old car plus quite a long way, not good on confrontation either but feeling more upbeat to-day despite yet more rain!!
