Just a note to add to the stats:

 

Alan Meale MP (Labour for Mansfield) - Contacted him late last year, recieved a good, positive reply. He even passed on higher, and recieved a letter from them too (can't remember the name).

[reallymadwoman]

Replies from Neil Parrish and Graham Watson - both MEPs - saying not their department and to complain to my MP.

[kennythecelt]

COMPLAIN TO YOUR MP ABOUT THE UNFAIR AND BIASED WAY THE FSA HAS HANDLED THE THE OFT CASE WHEN IT WAS SUPPOSEDLY ESTABLISHED TO SUPPORT CONSUMERS, NOT ISOLATE THEM

Just 5 Easy Steps!

1. Use the template letter here
   
2. Copy the text (amend if necessary but it will be fine as is for most people).
   
3. click the link to the site shown at the bottom of the letter or click here
   
4. Follow the instructions on the site to send to your MP (it will tell you who your MP is if you do not know.
   
5. Go here to tell us which MP you've written to.

The letter can also be re-purposed to send to other representatives (Euro MPs, MSPs, Councillors etc. - just modify it yourself as required

 

Thank you!

Come on you can do it. Send the letter NOW!!!!!

Just to let you all know, i recieved a letter from John SJmith ( MP of Vale of Glamorgan). he has passed on the letter to the Private Secretary for the HM Treasury, and he also gave be acknowledgement receipt.

I also wrote to the Welsh Assemble AM, and recieved responses from Jane Hutt and Andrew Richards (see below).

Andrew is very supportive of the campaign to establish the practice of banks charging overdraft fees as unlawful.

However, as the campaign is currently going through the law courts, an Assembly Member would be unable to lobby on your behalf. Andrew would therefore be unable to get involved in the court case or attempt to influence the outcome.

I am running out of people to write to, any suggestions.

hi all. had given up on damien green but a posh house of commons letter came today.

thank you for your letter, its important that whatever banks charge reflect their costs and do not impose penalties on their customers. you will be aware that last year the oft said that a default charge of more than £12 for late payment of credit cards bills will be considered unfair. i was dispppointed that it took the oft two years to reach this conclusion and that there are now further delays as a result of the test case in the high court. whilst i am pleased that the situation will eventually clarify the legal position, i understand the frustrations of customers who now cannot seek compensation. i have therefore passed your letter onto hector sants the chief executive of the fsa. i will forward you a copy of his reply.

actually signed by him too!!!

[pjdavies2000]

Ohhh goody

 

Does that mean I will have a letter waiting for me too!!???!!!

 

I doubt it...

 

But then who knows, I may be as lucky as Cazza!

Regarding responses - I'd be grateful if you could forward them to me either by typing them into a PM or if available, scanning them and emailing them to me - I'll supply an address by return PM.

 

Thanks a lot for all your support - let's keep it going and now we have a bigger platform, take it to the next stage!

 

 

Hi all, I would be very grateful if you could forward copies of your responses to me while MacBoy is away.

Hi again guys!!!

Had my 3rd response from my MP DAVID WILSHIRE this wk enclosing a response from the FSA regarding my complaint.

Its very long winded and i need to read it again but from what i can make out there r exceptions to the rule re: all claims being stayed!!!

Do u want me to scan it and paste it on here to see if you can make sense of it or read it thru a couple more hundred times and type the basics (if i can understand it)????

Sorry but legal jargon does my head in!!

 

Bonnie

[pjdavies2000]

Well bugger mee, if ol' Greeny didn't send me a letter.

It's identical to the copy above, so you can double cross (no pun intended!) him off the list

[kennythecelt]

Hi Bonnie,

thanks for writing to MP. Can you read through it again please and put the main points down when posting. You can put the legal jargon in, if it can't be translated.

Ta Kennythecelt:)

You can either post them onto this thread, or pm me, either way will be OK.

Thank you for helping with our campaign.

Hi. Wrote to Nigel Evans MP for the Ribble Valley.

Recieved an immediate responce to tell me that he had written to Mr Hector Sants CEO of the FSA.

Today recieved a further letter regarding their letter and it came from Dr Thomas Huertas Acting MD at the FSA that Nigel Evand has forwarded me a copy. It isnt a template letter as it has my personal details on it but saying that it still only has the FSA stance as a responce including the press release issued on the 27th August.

At least he actioned my letter

I have had a very nice reply from Lynne Featherstone MP agreeing that the charges are unfair, as are the stays, and the Lib Dems are pressuring the government to do something about it.

 

Not sure anyone takes any notice of the Lib Dems though. Still, nice to get a response.

[chrissieo]

Had a very positive response from Patrick Hall MP Bedford last week.

 

Have attached file.

 

He would like to contact someone from the CAG if one of the MODs could PM me with relevant contact details

Hi ja-de, Just to say, that it would appear not many claimants are familiar with this site? The true numbers are a great deal more, luckily, over on the Cardiff directions hearing site 14th August 10.30am ( what I call the Cardiff Carve up, 600 of us!!) we all sent to Master of the rolls as well as MPs etc. look up 'smutley' also todays post from '234debt' tells us the court said they had received 600 applications for stays. BRILLIANT!!!
