They do seem to wait as long as possible before sending out the statements. Good luck with all.

It means they didn't acknowledge or defend my claim, therefore I filed judgement and issued a bailif court warrant against them. The money isn't in my pocket yet, but I'm nearly there!

i thought we were supposed to keep it all in writing then you have copies of everything. if i call them they may try and legalease me rather stick to the tried and tested, might send ther S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) non compliance letter tho that might wake them up...

list of charges received ( not a wedge of statements ) will calculate the damage in a mo but they assert in a letter accompanying the list of charges that our accoutn was opened i oct 2004 so all details relate to that period forward... thing is we got a 2 year fixed rate on june 2004 with them so i know we banked there before oct 04 as i have a statement ( a single lonely little statement) dated 3rd july 04. do i write back with the "you still have a few days with which to comply to my S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) and by the way here is a copy of statement number 2 dated july 04 contrary to your assertions that i opened the account in october of that year"... or do i call them? it may have been an oversight? it may also be that thay are tryignt o play silly peoples with me. they did list the charges out all niceley tho with the balance at the tiem so i can work out how much of the interest applied too very kind of them i thought.

standard "we're sorry you are not satisfied" letter arrived today. no mention of my complaint that they had ignored 6 months of my banking history with them( they claim in their letter that i have been with them since oct 04, i have in fact been with them since june 04 as i have a statemnent number 2 from july a copy of which i sent to them with my letter)
they will fully investegate my claim and aim to reply to me by 26th october.... hmmmm. well thats sad cos i am sending the LBA on the 11th and will be filing MCOL on 26th october so it will be nice if they can get backto me by then
