well the forty days well and truely expired on the 6ht march for the wollwich to supply my statements and no sign of them so i called them to find out why... to my amazement i was told they had not recieved the S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) so i pointed out that it was sent recorded delivery and i have proof via royalmail.com that they have recieved it. they said that while it had been recieved they have not been passed my SAR and the attitude they show was that it was my problem that they did not have my SAR. i pointed out that they are breaking the law but they were not bothered.

on the 6th march i sent the LBA for non compliance and on the 8th march i recieved the Dear sir we are sorry you have had to complain blah blah blah we will respond by the 5th april after investigating ( I THINK NOT)

so im now at the point where i am looking to issue a claim in the court to get my data. can anyone offer any advice on what to put for the particulars of claim etc on the N1 form

thanks

paul

Hi Welshcakes,

i couldnt agree more. just seem to be delaying tactics that these institutions employ to make claiming as difficult as possible.

they did send the schedule 1st class post though. i got a letter detailing all the charges that had been levied against my account over the past 6 years,Happydays as i dont have to trawl through mountains of statements working out my charges.

the same day i got the schedule of charges i sent them a prelim letter asking for my money back total was 1233.00 .

today i got a response from the woolwich, the usual blah blah blah letter, we will reply to your complaint by the 23rd april blah blah blah signed by michele wallis (from what i can gather she signs all woolwich letters, must be aa very busy person).

i hope they dont think im gonna wait til then ,ive got news for them if they do. my prelim letter gives them till 5th april, then it will be a LBA on the 6th and by the 20th april i will be filling out the N1 form for court.

once i get a reply i will post the response on herre

regards
paul

Hi Pt

The Woolwich did exactly the same thing to me! Sent the S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) Recorded Delivery. I received an offer of £1000 from them before I had even received the list of charges.
When I phoned them I was given the runaround between Woolwich and Barclays and was told they hadnt received my S.A.R - (Subject Access Request). (I know they had as I had checked on Royal Mails website and saw it was delivered the day after I posted it). I told them that if they hadnt received my SAR, how come they had offered me £1000 then?

After a bit of shuffling about and being transferred to various people, they finally told me that the S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) had been passed to Barclays and the guy there told me how much they owed me and he would get my list of charges out in the post. I received them the next day.

I really think Wooly are just playing games. They were obviously hoping that I would just be over the moon with the £1000 offer, sign the acceptance and send it back without thinking. No chance, they owe me far more than that. When I phoned the woman at Barclays repeated about 3 times "This is your final offer".

Good luck with your claim - although you wont really need it.

Hi

Can anyone help me, the woolwich defaulted me and my charges are twice what the amount of the default was. i have asked the woolwich to remove the default but they are refusing with the usual response " our charges are fair therefore the default stays as its your fault blah blah blah" i sent them a LBA on the 11th april and im stuck with what to write for the N1 form in the particulars of claim, im ok with the charges part but im unsure what to write for the removal of the default and all the templates focus on the charges element and there is nothing i can find that is a particular of claim for both default removal and reclaiming bank charges

any advice would be greatly recieved

thanks

paul

Hi amandaardley

thanks for that but its the "removal of the default" part thats causing me probs, i was under the impression that as the woolwich refused to remove the default the placed on my account due to bank charges ( i asked them to take them out in the prelim and LBA ) i could include the removal of the default in with my court claim for the return of the bank charges. im not sure what to put on the N1 form for asking the court to consider forcing them to remove the default from my credit file as it was made up of unlawful charges

i hope this makes more sense

regards

paul
