[pt2537]

its Bowlarks!!!!! plain and simple

Mike,

 

they may have the right to satisfy themselves that they are sending the data to the correct person, however, there is no requirement in law for that identification to be expressly made as a signature

 

to satisfy themselves as to your identity, they could use a copy of your birth certificate and a utility bill

 

therefroe i consider this a delaying tactic and suggest that you do not sign anything and tell them that you will not be sending them a sample sig as suggested and thatthey have 12 working days to comply with your original request and the clock is ticking

Hi mike,

 

i suggest that it would be an idea to reply simply asking why they are expressly asking for a signature as the consumer credit act does not require that you authorise them to release a credit agreement.

 

 

i would probably go with something like

 

 

Dear Sirs,

 

RE Account NO XXXXXXXX

 

Thank you for your letter dated xx/xx/2007 the contents of which are noted

 

in your letter you make reference to requiring my signed authorisation before you comply. i draw your attention to the fact that the Consumer Credit Act 1974 does not require that i supply you a copy of my signature before you comply with my S78 request. therefore, please state your reasons behind this request

 

if it is for Data Protection purposes then i can happily supply you with documentation to substansiate my identity to you. however please note that todate you have happily sent statements and correspondace to this address so i have to ask if you are concerned that you are corresponding with the correct person why has it taken so long to raise this?

 

My request for a true copy of my credit agreement under section 78 was made on xx/xx/2007 and the 12 working days for your compliance expire on xx/xx/2007

 

 

i look forward to recieveing the documentation requested

 

Regards

 

 

that is what i would send them,

 

modify it to suit

Standard rubbish im afraid Mike, they are wasting your time . the law is clear, 12 working days plain and simple i would just sit back and see what they have to say for themselves

 

let them write to you and with a bit of luck they will totally hang themselves and put it in writing to boot

 

regards

paul
