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'm posting this for my mother-in-law....(no funny in-law jokes please...she's actually really nice....!!!!)
anyway, she got herself a C 1 credit card about 6 years ago, no problems...then got a letter a while ago asking her if she would like an upgraded card, which she accepted....but they just sent her another card...fine so she kept both, used them paid, paid the card bill each month no problems.....recently she noticed that she was being charged for a PPI on both cards neither which asked for.
she has now asked why this was and was told that she was sold the PPI's by telephone......which she has told me never happen.....problems starting!!!!
so far she has by letter asked for the money back...about £800.... and was told no, the PPI's were sold to her by phone and thats that....!
she has now managed to ask for her statements from day one of her account which she has now got.....
i presume we now need to ask for a copy of the original agreement for the cards to make sure PPI was not asked for.....
what do we do next.....???
i have some experience of claiming charges back myself as i successfully got all my bank charges back last year from Nationwide with that help of this fantastic site.....and "milk tray man"......you know who you are..
hi , i am claiming PPI from cap1 now, at court stage.
what you need to do is to cca them , paying the £1.00 fee, and i would do a full SAR data protection request so you can have all the info you need from cap1.
make sure you have a copy of the ppi policy and with the SAR request ask for transcripts of the phone calls made .
in the meantime work out the fees paid and use the credit card spread sheets to enter the details. this can be found in the a-z list on the site.
I work for a BBC1 consumer affairs programme called "Don't Get Done, Get Dom", in which presenter Dominic Littlewood attempts to resolve issues that have arisen between consumers and companies.
Having read your story, we would be extremely keen to hear from you to see if there is anything we might be able to do to help.
If you would like to talk to us, please get in touch at:
I too was told i had bought PPI in a phone call to cap 1 which i know never happened, I have requested a transcript of the alledged phone call.. this should be interesting to see what they come up with!!!
Im claiming back husbands PPI charges Capital One also said it was agreed over the phone in October 2004. Now my husband is an ex purchasing director from the motor industry and there is no way on this earth he would agree to anything like this over the phone.
We have a copy of the CCA and this now turns out to be an application form not an agreement so we have put together two court bundles which was sent to the Court last week.
Today we have had a phone call from Capital One offering to refund £50 of the PPI back, but it would have to come of the balance of the account.
Needless to say we told them we have two claims in with the court, and basically see you there. The guy then said it will go to there Solicitors then and we will incure charges. Seems odd as we are the one thats taken them to Court.
Ive just sent off for my transcripts aswell because they said i agreed to it over the phone which is strange because the application was on a written form
