ok all thought i would ask for some help after the successes of my PPI fight

this is a bit different

went to work today and was called into the wages office and informed that a

Direct Earnings Attachment for £1500 or so had been received for a overpayment of some benefits going back some time i started to panic and then the wages clerk noticed the address was not mine but the DOB and name and national insurance number was correct

to cut to the chase i had never lived at that address and have never had any coraspondance or phone calls about this the wages clerk rang the DWP explaining the facts and was told it was a very old debt that had to be repaid so just to put things on hold i asked my wages clerk to ask how old and they would not say then said i should ring them so thats the question i will ring them and what should i say and what not thanks in advance

this site never fails allways helps me to get started no matter what

i'll start by saying to bohomiz your advice is appreciated no matter what it is even just the acknowledgement that it's not a good situation my son is in

i allso recommended CAB and when he went found them snowed under and after queuing for over 3 hours did not get much info apart from prices on court cost

and mediation and so on which to be honest did not help much

i decided consumeractingroup was best place to start and by the look of it i was right

yes it's a joint mortgage that's the only way they could afford it two two incomes not married 1 child

my son is living in the property shes renting a friends house

could admin please move this to the right thread

thanks all and future helpers

can anyone recommend a good site for legal matters

my son and his partner have been separated for 9 months she walked out saying I've had enough

he has been struggling to pay the joint mortgage on the house on his own and

at the start of the split she agreed to him paying the mortgage and not any child support

he could not afford both

it's now got bitter and shes stopped him seeing his daughter which is ripping him apart

shes allso contacted the CSA for money and now hes left in the dilemma that he can only pay the child support and not the mortgage

over the past 9 months she's not payed 1p towards the mortgage or any bills and refuses to let my son sell it to clear the dept

is there not a rule that allows my son to sell it after so long

sorry for going on abit

any info would be appreciated

thanks bankfodder i have photo's and all so the person responsible claiming full responsibility

thanks for that but i don't drive it was two other drivers that crashed outside my house the crash had nothing to do with me but it was my fence that got damaged tho

last week i came home to find a car had crashed into mine and the next doors fence (no one was injured ) luckily

how should i claim for the damages to my fence i have all the details of both drivers involved from the police including there insurance details and the driver responsible owned up to the police

i had not renewed my house insurance so can't claim on that any info would be appreciated

thanks in advance

Hi all i sent a failure to reply and a couple of days later the sar was received with the requested info i am studying it but it’s not as straight forward as the last one firstly it’s all mixed up i have sorted it into the credit card and what i thought was 2 or 3 loans

Firstly the credit card that seems straight forward i went thru all the statements and i have now used the calculator to work out the repayment of ppi the credit limit was £500 (paid off and cancelled in 2005)and i now know i am owed £150 according to the calculator i know it’s only smallbut after all it’s my money should i send the claim or wait till i have sorted out the loans this may take a little longer i only have the agreements and the totals so maybe some help here again with the maths!!

i did notice quite a lot of late payment and overlimit charges (£25.00 each every time )any chance i can get them back ?? must total well over £300 by the time i paid it of (sad i know but this was a bad time for me i seem to remember )

just a quick one i also received totally blank statements (what a waste of paper)from when i closed the account 2005 to 2007 can anyone explain this

ok that’s it for now and i look forward to winning again !!!thanks in advance for your help

Hi happy new-year to you all and good luck to everyone that’susing this site for any future claims

After my susess with abbey\santander i have started to hunt down citi groupi may have had at least 5 loans with different companies but all under the citi group name so thismay take some sorting out Here’s a quick rundown of where I’m up to with it

SAR sent 22-10-2012

Citi Request for proof of identity 10-11-2012 proof sent straight back15-11-2012

Nothing has been herd to date

over 60 days not including holidays and i still have not receivedmy requested S A R what’s my next move any ideas

thanks in advance

hi i don't know if i should start a new thread for citi group ?

anyways i have recived a letter from citi group and my postal order for £10.00 sayng before thay can provide the requested information send a copy of a utility bill ,bank statment as proof of your current address is this just a stalling tactic or normal procedure

thanks in advance

hi all just to let you know that the money was credited to my account on friday i posted the acceptance letter on monday so i can now say that i am a winner at last

i will now go and donate for all the help next city group and others don't loose hart keep on going

great news i have recived a offer from santander a little under what i calculated but i think it's a fair offer

i claimed £1693 the offer is for £1607.48

there is a explanation of the redress but i don't understand it if anyone is interested in it i can email it to you if you give me your email address i cannot seem to upload the scan of it for every one to see

thanks ims21 for all your help and anyone ells that has helped me

city group have not replyed to the sar yet still 20 days waiting time to go

i will make a donation when i recive the cash

thanks ims21 but i wanted to get it posted yesterday so i posted it to the complaints address recorded signed for as recomended on there website

i have allso posted a sar letter to citigroup i have about 4 or 5 loans i know i had and each one was paid of with another loan and i know they all had ppi because i was told i would not get the loan if i did'nt take it out so it's a waiting game

allso just a quick one my wife seems to think that we had another small loan before this one i am claiming but the sar reply from santander only had one loan agreemet in it when i sent the sar i requested all my loans with this company

any thoughts

hi all i have put in a sicky today to get this form filled in and send my claim on it's way

just a couple of points i have now completed the ppi claim form ims21 sugested and the spreadsheet can any one point me to a good claim letter i could use or have a read at just to help me compose my own and what''s the address for santander is it the complaints department or something ells

is this list all i have to send

1 copy of loan agreement

2 printout of the completed ppi questionnaire (from fos)

3 printout of completed spreadsheet

and finaly a claim letter

thanks in advance

thanks ims21 for that just about made it more simple i still find working with the spreadsheet a bit of a task but i think i have finaly got it right i have put in the 45 payments and then the final payment as previous post

is the total from the spreadsheet my claim ? am i ready to make a claim

is there some other claim letters i could have a read of from other members so i can compose my own or should i stick to the template letters (what should i be searching for) to read on the forum

i noted that abbey was charging me 12.8% yet the spreadsheet shows 8% is this correct

much appreciated thanks

hi ims21 thanks for the reply and the help

but i think that there's some sort of mixup all the figures you are asking for are on the copy of my original loan agreement that santander sent last thursday and i have the original settlement letter with the final payments and the total of the rebate

if i list all the figures could santander workout it's me using the website ?

hi all i am finding it hard to understand the spreadsheet the note's in it are not very clear i have been at it now for most of the afternoon and i am more confused now than ever

do i have to manualy put every payment i made in ppi over the full loan term 60 mounths that means i will have to input 60 payments all the same apart from the date !!!! is this correct or am i realy thick

as i have said in previous posts i paid it of early and got a rebate from them in 2005 what should i do about that how do i calculate this

hi sorry to be a pain but is there a guid on filling in the spreadsheet it don't seem to do enything i have never used a spreadsheet in my life so i don't know enything about them thanks

hi what is the best calculator to use for my claim thanks

hi all

ok then i got home on thursday and to my suprize i had a reply from santander it contained 1 small letter and a copy of my loan agreement so i can now move on to the next step making the claim i will use one of your templets and have a go at working it out myself if i get stuck would it be ok to ask for some help with the calcs i am also wondering how the rebate i got when i paid it off should be calculated in

thanks in advance

hi all thanks for the help i have now sent the failed sar letter with a copy of the original sar but i am thinking this is going to be a longer road than first thought!!

what will happen now ? i have given them another 14 days rather than go to court but if i have to what's the cost ? and will santander have to give me the infomation i require or is there a possibility i could loose and not recive any info from santander and be back to square one maybe it would have been better to pay someone only time will tell now

thanks again

hi it's been 43 days since i sent the sar and postal order to santander and i have had no reply or even a letter confirming that they have recived it what's the next step i know it was signed for on the 6 august at 9.15am

should i give them a ring or is there a letter to send again

thanks in advance

ok all i have posted the sar to santander at the weekend including the £10 postal order i have everything crossed at the mo

i have now got citybank and cityfinancial in my sights would i have to send 2 sars one for each or are they the same group would i be able to sar just the group or is it better to go the individual root and where should i post them to

it may be sometime between posts due to work commitments so if i don't get straight back you know why

thanks for that ims21 a sar it is then just a quick one what account \ref number do i put in he sar is it my own account number or the account number of the loan or both ?

and can you point me to where i might find the correct address for santander just to save posting it to the wrong one

Ok all thank’s for the help ims21 still trying to get my head round this

I’m still looking back and I’ve just found all my bank statements going back to 2001 with the abby only a couple missing i found a old suitcase in the workshop over the weekend i had forgot about the statements do contain all my payments from the beginning of the abby loan to the final settlement figure but i cannot see the total borrowed for some reason it looks like i missed 2 payments near the settlement date tho would it be possible for someone to help me to work out the loan and ppi from the figures i have is there a mathematical wizard that can understand this ? co’s I’m at a loss

I don’t think sending a sar would give me any more info after reading other peoples dealings with abby and it looks like they are sticking to the 6 year cut of point! In my opinion that is

I can give dates and the exact amount paid in full over the full loan period with the settlement figures and the ppi and interest rebate

As usual thanks in advance

I am at a standstill with a loan with ppi from abby and it goes back 9 years i have looked at my bank statements going right back to march 2003 but am unable to confirm the amount borrowed and when it started i do have all the payments for the loan up to the settlement letter that was sent to me when i re financed and paid it off in full in 2005

Am i right to assume that abby would not be able to send me my details of this loan even if i send a sar due to the timescale? and the consolidated loan started on 2005 i do have the agrement for this tho so it should be ok i hope i.m still paying it now

Is it worth pursuing the abby loan or is it a lost cause because i cannot remember the total borrowed or when it started

i am still compiling a list of others (quite a large list now)but it is taking quit some time i have been at it after work in my spare time now i have found in the workshop my bank staments it makes for quit unnerving reading and i can see i have been well and truley riped off

thanks in advance
