    Default Zzed V RBS/Mint

    Ey-ho

    Been away from the PC for a while and I mean a while but I have some challenging news from RBSicon.
    27th November I recived the following letter from a Mr Waseem Raja:

    Thank you for your recent letter dated XXXXXX, your concern has been passed to me in my capacity as Senior Concerns Officer of the Debt Recovery Office.......
    .........
    We believe that our charges are fair, reasonable and transparent. We consider that the amounts debited to your account have been applied strictly in accordance with your agreement with us and our published tariff which we are satisfied complies with all applicable laws and regulations (T & Cs enclosed)........
    ...It is not our policy to refund late payment/overlimit fees that were charged previously at a higher level at the time that the fee was incurred.
    Consequently, against the background we must differ with the views expresed in your letter an will not be refunding any of the charges applied to your bank account.

    ...... and I trust this clarifies matters.
    Taken aback, well, i actually coward back into my shell and have continued making payments to the debt recovery plan as normal (never did stop).

    But I had a look at the balance again and these fees add 8 months of payments to the balance and I'm really aggrieved by this.

    So help is needed as to the direction one must take.
    My aim is to reduce/remove all my debt with my creditors but they are not polaying ball with the charges here

    Hi

    Which letter did you send them to illicit that response?

    If it was the lbaicon then now you need to issue a claim against them for the return of your charges. If it was the preliminary letter, then now you may send your LBA and then, if you do not receive a full refund, you need to issue a claim.

    Finally, this letter is in fact perfectly standard, do not be put off by it.

    iGroup (GE Money) - AoS Filed late, defence late, amended defence also late despite extra time requested and granted.
    Vanquis - Claim issued, no AoS or Defence received

    I don't think it really matters what their 'policy' is...RBoS told me in November it was now their 'policy' only to examine claims for charges if they were 'marked on statements and not just listed' (as per our spreadsheets).

    Needless to say it's being ignored.

    As Hagen says...carry on!

    Hi All

    I've found a very good web site with lots of good info on it, it's called penaltycharges.co.uk abd is run by among others a guy called Stephen Horne who took the Abby for £5000. He's been on BBC Radio 2 business slot at about 5.30pm and he has got quotes and reports from the BBC's Money Program that should prove interesting. Hope this helps.

    Stephen Hone is actually a moderator on this forum as well, and most of the information on his forum is identical to the one found here. The recent protest in front of the OFT was a joint effort between penaltycharges and CAGicon.

    Apologies to people who I was in the process of helping, I may be gone some time.

    You should also explain your policy to RBSicon which is to wait a aximum of 4 weeks only after which time you begin a court claim and there are no execptions.

    Please don't pm me about specific questions unless you have posted and it has not been dealt with or unless the matter is confidential.
    Please include a link to the post you want me to look at. If you have received a defence, contact me.
