    Default Taking On Cahoot

    Right well a nice polite email to cahoot resulted in 3years worth of statements within 5 days. Very impressed. Calculated charges - now not so impressed - £2905!!! So sent the PRE LIM yesterday - the waiting game begins. As i am a little bit neurotic can somebody please reassure me that they cant close down my loan i have with them should,sorry when, I win my money back. I believe it is a seperate agreement so they cant touch it but a very sceptical boyf is putting the jitters in me . . . .

    Hi Chimera I have been reading your thread with interesticon. What do you think will happen once you send the baliffs in? Will they just turn up at your house with some computers, the TV from the staff canteen, office chairs etc?

    ahahahahahahahaa... that would be too funny.. I'm getting really worried though.. because I didn't use the address they requested - but I used their address just not the PO BOX one... which you can't use to send the baliffs in anyway... They can't exactly say they haven't got the money to pay it can they???? That's just silly.... I'd gladly ahve their PCs and office furtinture though... set up my own bank... lol

    Right Sent lbaicon yesterday . . .recived this email today . . am a little bummed coz was expecting them to offer half or something . . .but a straight flat p**s off! So am still going to give 14 days due to when payday falls, but am a little uneasy bout the speed which it took for a flat 'no!' to come from them. Are they growing more confident . . . .?

    similar e-mail to mine.. but not exactly the same... I'm getting more and more worried about not have=ing sent it to the exact address (sure it all goes to same place though), and not specifying a name... I just specified 'Service Relationship Team'
    I'm sure that this is fine, but the longer I get no reply.. the more I worry... hmmmm...
    I notice you are asked to address yours to the 'Manager' of customer servcies... scary... sure you will get a better response than me though.. and make sure you send it to the exact people and address they specify - so you don't end up in same mess as me!!!
    Good Luck

    Keep positive... not one bank has won yet... how can they win???
    MY fear is that they will shut down my account before the dosh is paid up - as I can see this being delayed for a while... I think you will prob get your dosh within a week of starting claim. I presume they are just getting used to the claims, and have a set format now - ie they are told to say no, till the last minute. This is because some people will take half the money and run etc... I want them to give me my money back so that I can close the account... then take em for the rest of the charges they have put on my account since claim
