Overwrite the existing examples type of charge, amount and date.

The days since and 8% will be calculated automatically
This normally works fine. The only thing I can think of is that you may have deleted/altered a formula. All I can suggest is that you open a new s/s and try again.

Question Re: Brooksdad v Woolwich

Response from Woolwich (Michele Wallis?) is the usual Blah - 'we are sorry that you feel LET DOWN . . . we would explain what happens next re (my request) received by them 22/01/07. . . fully investigating . . . aim to resolve by 19 FEB 07(!!) . . . in meantime please contact . . .'

Expected response from them (after 14 days) is Sun 4 Feb 07. They say response 28 days!! (19 Feb 07)

Please advise: LBA + schedule (I have ready, inc 8% interest) do I still send after 14 days even tho awaiting their initial response?

Question Re: Brooksdad v Woolwich

Still no response from DCA (even tho they cashed £1.00 cheque). What response can I expect from DCA. Do I stop or continue paying my monthly 'fee' of £30.00 to them?

Question Re: Brooksdad v Woolwich

Need to know what response to expect from DCA. Remember, they bought my Woolwich Current Account debt, £6,000-odd, mostly all unfair charges, plus Woolwich Personal Loan A/c (£1,000-odd). I pay DCA £30.00 pm (they want an increase in payment: I'm under pressure) - do I continue to pay, or not? Letter to DCA saying both A/cs 'in dispute' sent by me 19 Jan 07.

They have 12 working days to respond to your request after that they are in default and cannot enforce the agreement,so you could stop the payments, thay also cannot add any penalties or interest to the account. If they continue for a further month to fail to supply you with a copy of the the original executed agreement, then they commit an offence.
And to get it enforced they would need to go to court. But as they have commmitted a serious offence they would have to explain to the judge as to why they have failed to supply the agreement you were entitled to under the Consumer Crdit Act.

Received today (27 Jan 07) letter from DCA solicitors, whom I have always dealt with (Heatons llb) aka Equidebt. Received your notice of 'debt in dispute - awaiting instructions from Equidebt - will contact you again to discuss this matter once we have had their response.'

Does this sound in order?
