Charles Bacon

I have written a few emails to him, and although I get "read" receipts he never replies.

 

One email I sent was asking for the refunds, and telling him that if it comes to it I would be filing a claim in the small claims court.

 

I explained that if this happend then I would be claiming interest and the court fee's meaning that Nationwide would be losing more money.

 

I thought this seemed pretty fair, but obvisiously he doesnt care or maybe he likes the court action. Which is pretty stupid in my opinion, I was saying that "you owe me £410.50 in charges, I will accept a refund of £400 to settle it quickly and amicably" but he didnt reply, so now im claiming for £450 odd plus court fees.

 

MoneyClaim must be raking it in with the amount of claims going through them at the moment!

yip i sent a similar e-mail with no reply

He never replied to my emails or faxes but when they settled the letter said 'Charles Bacon has asked me to refund blah blah blah blah' lol

The thing is, and I am playing Devils advocate here - firstly he must be extremely busy. Secondly, I am sure that Nationwide get threatened a lot with court action but not everyone goes through with it. In fact, I gather that the actual summons to threatening is quite low. If they settled before moneyclaim stage for everyone who threatened it, I bet they would be worse off than what they are having to pay the additional costs. So from a business point of view they are probably doing the best thing.

Well I think they are just making themselves more work, people who are using this forum are not going to back down, and they are prepared to go all the way.

 

Do think he is smoked or unsmoked?

 

I do love a good BLT.

I disagree. I could name you, off the top of my head, a dozen people who threatened action and then, for whatever reason, decided not to go ahead with it. People who are claiming back are not just from this forum - there are people who read things in the press and decide to go for it having never come across us. Yes, people using this forum are more likely to go ahead with the claim but not everyone will. So if you have 10 people claiming and only 5 actually take it to the court stage, Nationwide are better off having not settled before then.

What Dolly says is pretty much true There would probably be no point in Bacon replying in general

I very much doubt that it's up to him who he pays and who he doesn't pay. Nationwide have a policy, he is at the end of the day just an employee, his position means that he signs the legal paperwork and thats about it.

Then why is he's email given?

 

If he's not the right person to be emailing?
