  1. Hi Hardupnotfedup Thanks for your help. I dont understand why i would send that to LFS, when i know i owed Swinton the money (did, until they 'wiped off the debt' ) Am i missing something?
  2. Im just wanting opinions here, really. I have done a search on CAG and the web and cant really find anything confirming my suspcions. So here goes, the long way round ... I took out car insurance with Swinton and after about 4 months, cancelled it - due to car being off road for a while. I had paid everything upto the last months installment and, now, a £50 cancellation fee. Having just moved and seeking another job, i didnt have enough money to pay Swinton at the time of cancellation. I told them this and said they would get the money soon as i got it - i wasnt trying to avoid payment altogether! About a month later i got a letter from LFS Collection Services saying they were collecting on behalf of Swinton .. and all the usual - have to pay, CCJ, Law Court, increased fees etc etc. I phoned LFS (16/7/2010) and told them i would pay them in a couple weeks (30/7/2010) when i had the money - they were semi ok about it, but she wasnt impressed! I was all prepared to pay ... and then something happened that got me thinking. I got a 'Parking Services Charge' from MET Parking Services for parking in McD's car park for too long. Having seen some info on here about it and the Watchdog video, i can safely file that one in the upstairs WC But then i thought .. if a private company cant legally claim/issue such charges, can LFS? I phoned Swinton and asked them if i could pay them direct and the guy on the phone said "You can phone the branch where you took the insurance out and pay them only what you owe them, but to be honest, Swinton have already wiped off the debt!" Hmm, that's interesting! If i owe anyone, it's Swinton, but they have wiped off the debt. Therefore, surely i can tell LFS to take a jump? After all, are they, now, not trying to claim something that no longer exists? What say you? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Best detjo
  3. Hi All Another new body here, so hello everyone Quick advice if i may request.. I received a letter from DVLA saying i had failed to declare SORN and of course an £80 fine. I filled in the 'I declared it' part of the letter and sent it back with a copy of an email i received from them at the time of declaring SORN (dated about 3 days before it was due to expire). They wrote back saying thanks for the proof etc. and no further action will be taken. Then, approx 2 weeks later they wrote again basically saying: "We cant find the transaction on our servers and there is an inconsistancy in the email. Please pay the fine" Surely they cant do this if they have already stated [in writing] they are accepting my email and no furhter action will be taken? Any advice please? -------- Cheers Derek
