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.
Hello and I wonder if someone can give me a little advice. I have started the ball rolling with a few credit cqrd companies, ie
Nationwide credit card
Morgan stanley MBNA
and Alliance and Leicester b/society.
After bringing up 2 kids and spending what seems to be the last few years living from hand to mouth despite a full time job, I know only too well how credit card companies and banks prey on the vulnerable and stuff you at each and every opportunity.
Well now thanks to the help i am receiving on this site it is Payback Time.
The advice i require is this ::
Having sorted out a few of my other credit cards it appears they are all RBS cards albeit under a different guise, Mint etc.
Now i have left RBS to last as they are my major debtor.
Does anyone know what happens when you make a claim against them. re closing account. demanding cards to be paid up etc.
It is just that i am sure they owe me a lot of money though i am not sure i would be able to pay off the balance in one go, and obviously dont want to commit financial suicide.
Also do i send SAR request to Southend Address.
Finally. They are obviously a Scottish Company. based in Southend. Are they covered by Scottish or English law. as this may determine how many months/Years i can claim for.
I would really appreciate any help you may be able to give as i cant seem to find much on the site re RBS credit cards, only their bank accounts.

my views are my own...seek legal advice if ness
NEVER EVER - act on a private message asking you to visit another website, make contact 'off list' or by telephone
- alert the siteteam IMMEDIATELY by hitting the black warning triangle on any message - Particularly if this results in a request to pay a fee to help you.
rather than hittting to be my friend - hit the star
Found this address for your SAR, i can't remember where i sent mine,
Data Protection Consultant
Business Risk - Retail HBOS plc
Trinity Road
Halifax
HX1 2RG
I think all requests are forwarded internally to the correct department anyway, no matter what address you use (as long as it's a valid RBS one!)
As far as closing your account they seem to treat everyone differently, though i imagine if your claim is substantial they will be keen to close you down IMO.
They are covered by English law if the branch the account is held in is English and Scottish alike! if that helps.
Good luck,
I have just sent my prelim for a Business account to the Customer relations Freepost Edinburgh address.
I've just seen dx's post to you, I didn't know that either, that's encouraging then
Brilliant, Thanks very much to you both for advice.
I had read on this site that A & L were closing accounts and had been fined for it. Apparently it seems they are still closing them though i have seen some recent threads on here confirming this.
The thing to do i suppose is to take them to court for closing it, althugh it wont get your account back it will get them a heavier fine each time.
I will get my SAR done now.
Thanks again and please keep in touch, let me know how your claim progresses Badmother, ( I am sure your not really ) lol
Sorry Hazy, just reread your thread I didn't realise these are credit cards financed by RBS, and not a current account! The address I gave you may not be appropriate in your case, you would probably be better writing directly to the credit cards own address, ie Mint customer care etc, the address will be on the prepaid envelope they send along with your bill. Sorry, in my haste to help I get a bit carried away !!!!:o
