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.
I am just about to send the preliminary letter to Virgin One which is part of the RBS group.
I just want to make sure that it makes no difference with the Virgin One Account that I can still claim back these charges? (£860.00)
I am going to send the letter to :
Virgin One
Woodland Place
Pinetrees Road
Norwich
NR7 9EJ
If anybody knows any different I would greatly appreciate any advise, otherwise it is being sent recorded delivery tomorrow!
Hi Keeno,
That's the address I used and it's now going through MCOL, with Cobbetts LLP sending the same stock responses and information requests that they do to everybody else. See the RBS/RBOS section. Good Luck
Hope somebody can help me here, I have looked through the forums and FAQ's before I get shouted at but i can't find any reference to this query.
As you can see from my previous post I sent the lba when I didn't get a reply from my prelim letter, but I did get a reply the day after I sent it!
It was a basic "thank you but we must differ and will not be refunding any charges"
3 Days later later I received a follow up letter to the LBA saying " I am sorry you have not received the letter sent by my colleague etc etc" with a copy of the first letter they sent back to me enclosed.
The beginning of the LBA letter says "I am very disappointed that you have failed to respond to my letter of the xxxx"
Now the question is do I have to send the LBA letter again without the above sentence in it or do I just proceed to taking court action after the 14 days is up?
Please stick to one thread - it makes it really tricky to keep track of things when multiple threads keep popping up!
<Rant Over! >
Stick to YOUR timetable, the fact that they choose to take ages to respond is very much their problem.
Don't let them phase you, if they can approve you access for a new Credit Card account in a matter of days (for example), I'm quite sure they're capable of replying to your letter within 14.
Good luck

I have successfully claimed against: "MBNA, Capital One, Bank of Scotland & Clydesdale Bank"
The Consumer Action Group is a Self-Help website, Moderators & Site Helpers offer advice on a voluntary basis. Please spend time reading the FAQ's, and other cases relating to your bank before starting your own claim
Sorry about that, its just that I never got a reply so I thought i would post it under a different title. Won't do it again.
Thanks for the reply will start court proceedings on wednesday then as thats when the 14 days are up from when I sent the lba.
Just read the note about people making mistakes and one of them is
"issuing a court claim without trying to enter into a dialogue first" now i am just about to issue a court claim and I have read through the faq's and especially the step by step guide and can not find anything about "entering dialogue"
can anybody point me in the right direction to a relevant thread?
Thanks
Just received a letter from RBS with a cheque for the full amount of charges claimed and the court cost, a total of £940.00.
The letter basically says that the RBS believe that the claim has no reasonable grounds or cause of action against the bank, however it is not commercially viable or cost effective to defend the claim. Payment made with no admission of liability and my agreement not to court publicity or disclose or refer any third party and to keep the terms of settlement strictly private (oops!)
I also have to write to the court confirming that I will be discontinuing proceedings.
Great news considering I only received the acknowledgement of service last week saying they were going to defend the claim.
Phoned up MCOL and they told me I don't have to write to them, they can discontinue court proceedings from a verbal instruction to them.
All done & dusted, cheque deposited, fairly easy process all round really.
Good luck to everybody else.
I suggest that anybody new reading this makes sure they read as much as possible on this site, as you will see by reading through this thread that sometimes answers are hard to get.
