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.
I have sent letters to Natwest and Capital One requesting my statements be sent. They have both replied, both asked for a cheque for £10 in return for the statements.
I have not replied yet as I have hit a stumbling block. I don't have a cheque book. Can I send a postal order or phone and pay by card?

Thanks again for the info, i'm writing my letters out right now! Will get these letters posted off in my lunch hour on Monday.
Have had a scan though this forum for information and to guage an idea on how difficult this process is and the success rate with Natwest. Hopefully I will be successful.
I had a look again at the letter Natwest sent, i quote from the letter:
"I will be happy to arrange for the bank statements that you have requested to be sent out directly, the fee for this is £5.00. Alternatively, if you require a full Subject access request (SAR), the fee for this is £10.00."
This letter was sent by Sean Brown - Retail Regulatory Risk. Dunno if that rings any bells with other forum users? Has anyone delt with Mr. Brown?
Also, should I send the postal order (I have no chequebook) to my local branch or is there a better NatWest address to send it to?

Send it to the person you are already dealing with - there should be an address on the letter you received.

Just a small update. I got a £10 postal order and sent off another DPA letter (using the template on this site) today.
I sent the letter registered post and got the post office to print the name on the postal order for me, I said just put Natwest Bank on it. Hopefully this is ok?
When do I start the clock ticking, from when I track the letter down to see it's been signed for? As I won't know when the postal order has been cashed. :?

40 days start from when they received payment, not when they cashed it.

Ah ok, so I can track and trace when the letter was signed for and start the 40 day clock for them to send my statements to me from then?
Thanks for the info all the way through my thread so far barracad, very much appreciated!

I checked the tracking numbers at www.royalmail.com this afternoon and it seems Capital One (will make another thread of course) have received my £10 payment. Natwest it seems have not, I assume once NatWest receive theirs then the 40 day timer starts?
Note to moderators, just put this in here to remind myself before I start my Capital One thread.

As soon as they receive it, and it shows up on the Royalmail site, the 40 days start ticking. If you check the royalmail site a few days after they receive it, they'll have the electronic signature up, and you can print that off for proof if Natwest 'haven't received it'

Got my statements back today. I've been through them all and have counted the charges. Although I want to make sure they are all correct charges.
I was with advantage gold for a while and I know the £6 charge I can't claim back so i ignored those. but am I ok to claim charges listed as CARD MISUSE and PAID REFERRAL? Also I have UNPAID ITEMS charges and this is the one I don't get, i've got loads of these:
Charges A/C01234567* Withdrawn: £28
* = my account number not 01234567 obviously!
I have no idea what this is as it's all it says. Are these charges? If so what for???
I have ignored the interest listed underneath the charges, do I claim that back too?
Thanks for any help in advance!
