Thats what i was thinking, i dont know about anyone else but im fed up of seeing the same "we dont get involved in individual cases" template letter:rolleyes:

 

That order states they can be fined for each and every breach, so they can act on a single case, or that is what that statement says to me

[babybear39]

Judging by the number of 1st crud and crap one SD cases both should have been fined hundreds of thousands and their licences revoked by now

I agree, the first time i read that report, i could not blieve they only have got a warning

 

Thats the bit that concerns me, is the report just a cosmetic excersice to make it appear the almighty OFT have done something, yet in reality, nothing is being monitored and nothing will change ?

 

Is it just a smoke screen

[Toulose LeDebt]

Credit where credits due though folks. Let's not forget the OFT has been locked in an almighty Court battle (on all our behalves) with the financial institutions for years now.

 

Maybe as resources become freed up within the OFT we'll see some enforcement action taken against the grubbier sector of the industry too.

[hackedoff1]

its 1st credit that needs sorting they're the **** of the earth and have caused untold misery to hundreds if not thousands of people.

 

Its payback time not only get them closed down but get a file off to the police!

Giving this a little lift - I don't think it's a sticky anywhere and if others see it they still have time to email their MP's online - look up Who Is My MP - gives a couple of options.

[gd47]

Margaret Moran (Lab, Luton South) has been informed!

 

Here's hoping!

[phoenix11]

I've done both my MP and written to Andrew MacKinlay too.

I don't think there can be more the a dozen left from the pictures.

 

Most have made a sharp exit. (probably in the house of commons bar )

[babybear39]

Aren't they lucky they can afford a drink, or are they claiming exspenses

[creditcardmug]

We may be lucky, some of them may have an interest and stay, im thinking of the ones CAG members have lobbied:)

[fermi]

There may also be some who will pop back for it, hopefully.

 

You couldn't blame them for getting bored of the budget debate and nipping off for a bit.
