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.
SAR sent to Natwest, no info received yet only telephone message and letter received today informing me that my account has been selected for review and to get in touch to arrange an appointment at the bank. Anyone advise?
Received a letter this morning from the Natwest, they apologise for me having concerns, explain that all thier T's & C's are explained when opening an account, they explain that they do sometimes make charges and that,
"for these reasons, we do not agree with the basis of your complaint. We believe that the charges we levy are for providing services and that they are not penalties or charges for default. Furthermore we believe that these charges are fair, reasonable and transparent.
However, having reviewed your case and as a gesture of goodwill and without admission of liability or error, in this instance we are prepared to offer the amount of £***.00 paid direct to your account.
To accept this offer in Full and final settlement complete the attached form, blah, blah, blah......."
The offer is for my claim of charges but not the £10 SAR fee, 8% interest or the £50 court fee.
If these charges are for providing services .Why are they stiil offering you a good will gesture ??? If you have not included a claim for interest you will have to accept their offer.
Oh right that is clearer. Well the choice is yours Deal or no deal. I would reject the offer and pursue your claim http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk...ng-offers.html ,but on the other hand the court could say you were unreasonable continuing your claim if you have been offered a full refund of your charges. So you could write or phone Nat West to ask them to pay your £10 SAR fee and your court fee. They will write back to you and say no chance in my opinion . So carry on with your claim.
If the amount you are claiming is relatively small and you are not bothered about losing your court fee,your S.A.R - (Subject access request) fee and the court interest then settle. They are so arragant in their attitude. They would not hesitate one second to debit your account as we speak for a £38 returned cheque charge. I would continue it is your right to claim against them and if they cannot return your funds quick enough. Before you start court action that's their bad luck.
