I got my money back from GE Money before prelim!!!
Yes this just confirmed today by GE Money and is coming in writing.
The story how this happened....right I requested my S.A.R and the deadline was 17th Jan. Rang and spoke direct to DPC to ask what was happening and to remind them of the deadline. Ok a Denise promised to ring me back the next day to allow her to investigate. She did and and I received my mothercare statements and charge transactions, which I found confusing to say the least and told them this. No top shop account statements either, even though this was always paid by direct debit so I remember there was only a couple of times this was not paid back in 2003 when I closed it. Still I had requested these.
Anyhow a Joanne rang friday promising to ring concerning these issues on monday. I missed the call I had already totted up the mothercare charges £120 and beleive top shop to be £30 more so £150. Well I missed the call and she rang back today. They offered because of this muck up to clear my mothercare account of £266 and balance down to zero and advised I had every right to reject and make a formal complaint concerning Top Shop.
Well I accepted cos I have been give approx £116 more so all in all VERY HAPPY and never really did athing

I think Creation are a different company than GE Capital. Different stores use different providers and they can move them around. Creation have a DUET card. They used to do the cards for the Sears Group of companies. Some of those companies were sold on and changed to their new owners partner usually GE. Creation still provide cards for some companies - this link should give an idea of who they provide cards for. Creation Financial Services Limited - A unique range of skills

Re: I got my money back from GE Money before prelim!!!
Hi there, I sent an SAR to GE Money some time ago for two store card accounts, I recently had to send them a letter of non-compliance as they never sent my statements. Anyway today I received a letter from Mark Metcalfe of GE Money offering a full refund of the charges applied to the two accounts, and that I will receive this amount shortly.
Firstly, I have never received my statements or even a schedule of the charges, so how do I know if the amounts are correct. And secondly I had these cards some time ago and have since closed the accounts and cut up the cards as any owing amounts were paid off, so I don't know whether they're going to send me a cheque or refund onto these old accounts. So what I want to know is has anyone got a direct number I could phone, as there isn't a telephone number on the letter they sent me, even though Mr Metcalfe told me in the letter to ring if I have any queries!!!
Re: I got my money back from GE Money before prelim!!!
Hi Poppy07
Today I recieved a letter from Mr Metcalfe apologising for the delay in answering a request for a SAR. On the letter the telephone number he says not to hesitate to ring if I have any questions is 08701242415.
Re: I got my money back from GE Money before prelim!!!
Can Someone Help Me Here? I Have Asked Ge Money For The Charges On My House Of Fraser Store Card And Have Been Sent Statements For The Time That The Account Was Passed To A Collection Agency, But The Previous Two/three Years To That, They Are Saying That They Cant Retrieve Because Of Technical Problems. Can They Do This? And What About The interest That Was Charged During The Short Time Before It Was Passed To The Collection Agency? Its Collossal! What Started Out As Me Owing Them £350 Ended Up At Almost Two Thousand!!
Re: I got my money back from GE Money before prelim!!!
can anyone give me a direct number to anyone at ge i have only got the customer services and they never answer, they leave you on hold for ages. I have checked my statements and they only owe me £130 so I am hoping they will pay me without too much hassle
