It's all about who is in control. When it's the DCAs, life is hell. When you're back in charge, life is heaven, or at least as close as you can get when what's coming in doesn't cover what needs to go out. CAG is all about empowering the consumer, and if one individual had had this effect, they would be getting a knighthood. I dub thee Sir CAG.

I'll post the Cabot letter on my cabot thread once it's all sorted - you can bet that, whilst it is rather more polite than the BOS letter, they should be in no doubt that I won't just roll over. It was sent by email last week, and I haven't had an acknowledgement yet. Automatic acknowledgements are so easy to set up that I can only assume Cabot don't want you to have proof that your email has been received.

 

Letters now posted on this thread :- http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/debt-collection-industry/151228-oh-no-cabot-after.html if anyone wants a look.

 

Bank of Scotland have until a week Friday to reply to my complaint. Why am I not surprised that they haven't even acknowledged it?

Re complaint made in this post http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/debt-collection-industry/102011-blair-oliver-scott-bank-22.html#post1607944

 

I've decided for a number of reasons not to pursue this at the moment. Much as I would like to cost BOS some more money, I really don't think it would be in my best interests.

 

Cabot bought the account, so unless they've asked for their money back I think any suggestion that the account is going back to BOS is a fairy tale, in which case the last thing I want to do is prompt them into 'finding' the paperwork.

 

Cabot are now quite clearly aware that the account is disputed and so shouldn't sell it on to anyone else. If they do, I think copies of our correspondence should send the new DCA running as quickly as Cabot were seen off, and I can then make a complaint about Cabot instead in the sure and certain knowledge that they don't have any paperwork.

 

I have 6 months to pass the complaint to the Ombudsman. If I am contacted by anyone in the next 6 months, I won't have to wait the required 8 weeks but can send in a complaint immediately. All I will have lost is a bit of time.

 

If we go past the 6 months without contact, I can always start the clock ticking with another complaint to BOS which will again be ignored, and the previously ignored complaint on the same topic will only add weight to my case, plus not pursuing the complaint after Cabot confirmed their files were closed will show just how reasonable I am.

 

I've weighed up the potential costs and benefits, and decided in this case that the former outweigh the latter. Let sleeping dogs lie.

 

On current experience though, I'm expecting something in the post shortly. They've set the new dogs on me for all the other accounts, so I'm sure they'll follow suit on this one.

They've done that to me, only it was deliberate. I complained that they hadn't replied to a letter, so they sent me a copy of their reply dated the day before they signed for my letter. Oops!

 

 

hiya RMW

 

well done on coming so far on this journey

 

another tip from i think its BWR thats has posted to keep the envelopes with all letters received as been trying to understand the orange bits on the envelopes to see if can decipher date when posted but clearly like above you proved it there and then in writing, thats why i also send everything signed for recorded delivery and get a signature from royal mail on all my postings

 

keep happy ciao for now maz

Im happy to help with support and my own thoughts, but if I offer any thoughts to your problems please take it as from my life experience only and not of any legal standing. Always take further advice from the legal experts in your final action.:)

I thought that the press had said that certain senior management of certain banks, lloydtsb, rbs, halifax etc were to step down over a recent amount of loaned money.

 

In other words if they take this money they are fired so i would have thought they have gone but i am only going on what the press said.

ReallyMadWoman,

I have spent the entire afternoon reading the entire contents of this thread and apart from me having no life(?) I am amazed (NAY ASTONISHED) by your strength and your good old fashioned bloody mindedness against these people (loosely termed)

I've only been here for a week and have read lots about DCA's and their underhand tactics and I selfishly hope that I dont end up with all the hassle you have been forced to go through. I'll read your Cabot thread as well ( you'll notice that as I'm a newbie I still tend to use their proper names. How long will that last:p)

All the way through the thread I noticed how much stronger you have become and all I can say to that is :

I AM IN AWE OF YOU- WELL DONE

First I have to give many, many thanks to everyone who has passed on their good wishes during my fight.

 

Second, the bad news. I am giving up. If you want to know why, read this post http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/debt-collection-industry/136654-complaining-financial-ombudsman-service-7.html#post1780488.

 

I really feel as if I am letting the whole site down by throwing in the towel, but the moment has arrived when I've had to sit back and take stock, and decide what is most important to me. You can guess whereabouts on the list continually fighting BOS and their puppets comes.

 

I had a very brief court hearing earlier this week on a totally unrelated matter during which I said no more than 10 words. However, the sheer stress of preparing paperwork and getting there put me in bed for two days. I dread to think what a full hearing would do to me, which is the way this whole situation is heading.

 

I intend writing one more letter to BOS, addressed to whichever one of the chairman or chief executive still has his job, saying that unless it has a court stamp I will no longer respond to any post about any of these accounts. When the inevitable N1 arrives I shall take the course of least resistance and file an admission with an offer of £1 per month and medical evidence of how long they're likely to be receiving it.

 

Once again, I apologise sincerely to everyone for letting you down.

I know what I said, but it seems that BOS won't let me give up. I had a reply today to my last batch of complaints. There is a very carefully worded apology for the delay which makes absolutely no mention of the fact that it's taken them 6+ months. They've also made a potentially very serious error which is likely to bite them on the bum very soon.

 

They promised (heaven knows how many times!) both me, CAB and the FOS that my telephone number would be removed from their systems.

 

We've been having a huge number of 'silent' calls recently whereas we don't normally get any as I'm very particular about who gets my number.

 

I never answer calls unless the caller identifies themselves to the answering machine.

 

They've admitted making regular calls recently, but say they never get an answer so call back later.

 

I also now have proof that they lied to the FOS regarding several matters in my previous complaint.

 

As I said, they just won't let me give up. How could I not respond to this?
