Hi
Well you go get em. I have not had the best of luck with the woolwich despite them having cashed my chq for Data Protection Act on the 12th april am still awaitng the statements. Have just phoned openplan and had date of letter received confirmed as the 11th april so by my reckoning (and the very helpful man on the phone) they have until monday 22nd to comply or they face being reported. Have done the letter to this effect and will post off tomorrow. Unless anyone has a fax # that this can be sent to.

Good luck with your claim and lets nail the ba***rds

Did you ever get an answer to this? I've just done my LBA and I haven't included this as I assumed it was a service!!!

No I never got an answer re these charges. They never charged any interest so I presume this is their eqivalent so I will let them keep it.

MCOL completed today

Reference 6QZ32212

1306 quid

Im away on my hols for a week so hopefully some good news when I get back. I need to re coup some money as this is costing me a fortune in Data Protection Act and court fees.

Re statements. I think I must have got in just before the mad rush as they were back with me within 2 weeks.

Letter from woolwich today saying they have passed the 100 quid OD to a collection agency as he hasnt paid it.

Thats choice bearing in mind hes owed 1300 in charges.

rang the author of the letter told her she may want to read S13 SS 6 of the banking code regarding disputed accounts.

Wrote her a letter giving her 7 days to recal the debt and remove any reference from credit file or I would make formal complaint under Data Protection Act and banking code.

Also told her I would write to the judge at County court informing he/she that Woolwich where trying to intimidate and influence pending court proceedings.

That seemed to focus her mind a bit. She claims nothing was on the file about the dispute. Lets hope it remains like that until the 6th when I can apply for a judgement.
