Sent a S.A.R - (Subject access request) to A&L asking for info on both a loan account - in another thread - and this credit card. Also sent a letter beginning of July stating I could not afford to make the repayments now due to reduced income - hours at work cut and accordingly so is wage. I'm on a reduced payment plan with an A&L loan, a Northern Rock loan and wanted to do the same with this CC. Resent same letter middle of July enclosing yet another personal budget sheet asking them to accept reduced payment of £10.00 a month and as a gesture of goodwill to freeze all charges and interest
. Still no response. This afternoon received threatening letters about defaults and also a letter from a company called Aegis purporting to be representing A&L. I rang the number in the threatening letter - recorded conversation and advised them of such before I discussed anything - and they stated that they are a;
"telephone banking service and as such will not enter into any kind of written correspondence!"
They stated that they had indeed received my letters and budget sheet but will not respond in writing!!!!!!!!Set up a reduced payment plan over the phone with them - I did ask for confirmation of this in writing to which they said okay
(thought they didn't write to anyone?) - subject to approval by a board of managers????????????? What is with this company!!!!!!!!!!! I also asked about my unfulfilled S.A.R - (Subject access request
) - woman wanted to know what one of them was! Told them I had sent the required fee and a written request to;
ALLIANCE & LEICESTER PLC
CARLTONPARK
NARBOROUGH
LEICESTER
LE19 0AL
She said A&L had nothing to do with the SAR request and that I had to send £20.00 to MBNAin order to get everything. I argued that they could not charge me £20.00 for a SAR as the maximum was £10.00. Off she went to speak to her manager again - came back telling me that £10.00 was for a copy of all statements and transactions and that the other £10.00 was for all the other documentation on the account!!!!!!!!!!!!
I told her I don't think so - the law states that if I make a SAR request then I am entitled to EVERYTHING for a maximum fee of £10.00 - off to her manager again she goes - comes back and tells me yes it is only £10.00 for the SAR but that the one I sent to A&L doesn't apply to them and I have to send another £10.00 to MBNA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! I am so angry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
