noomill v Student Loan Company ***WON***

[noomill060]

Just posted my Small Claim application off to the court.

 

I've added a little twist to the usual Particulars of Claim to bring a little bit of discomfort to the boss dude.

 

 

 

6). The Applicant asks the Court to order that the Chief Executive Officer of the Respondent, Student Loans Company Limited, do write to the Applicant within 14 days, concurring that in levying these disproportionate charges, the Student Loans Company Limited erred in law and confirm future arrears letters to all customers of the Student Loans Company Limited will be charged at no more than the actual cost to the Student Loans Company Limited, as required by Statute, Case law and consumer directives.

Don't no anything about student loans, but the penalty charges are the same in every complaint on this site. So in my opinion that looks pretty impressive. Good luck

[noomill060]

Same applies to all cases of penalty charges.

 

The SLC gives the impression of having some permission from the OFT, HM Government, the Bishop of Wakefield and possibly even divine sanction from the gods of Imperial Rome for charging £20 a letter.

 

Ive been told in as many that "We can charge wot we want 'cos the Government says so"

 

Not even the spivs and scallies at Barclay's are arrogant enough to claim to have governmental and divine sanction for thier charges!

 

** OK, they dont really claim support from the Bishop of Wakefield **

 

**The Imperial gods of Rome are unavailable for comment at this time**

[Parkvale]

Nice post noonmill. These people live with their heads up their botties.How arrogant is that to think they can act above the law of the country. Cos big govvy says so. Complete and utter k**p.

Very cheeky!

I'm a cheeky chappie!

I love this forum!

 

Am I sick for wanting the SLC to send me another unlawful penalty charge letter?!

[noomill060]

*thinks*

 

If the judge DOES order the CEO to confirm that he believes the SLC erred in law, in writing, getting SLC charges refunded will simply be matter of telling them to cough up!

[noomill060]

*thinks again*

 

If they are that anxious to avoid Court, I could make it a condition of acceptance of whatever offer that come up with!

[noomill060]

Just recieved my Small Claims pack for this claim against SLC.

 

They have until 28 May to respond.

 

Lets see the sh!t hit the fan now!

[Parkvale]

Just make sure your not down wind when it hits.

[noomill060]

Indeed!

Good Luck noomill060

 

I'm rooting for you!

[noomill060]

Thanks CAGisforme!

 

I guess we're all fed up with these muppets and its time to put them in their box. I havent seen an SLC thread go as far as that, so I'm guessing they dont put up a lot of resistance against a determined adversary.

 

I'll keep updating with whatever drivel they come up with, but I'm happy to see them in Court over this, I'll be suprised and delighted if they ever get there though.

 

Its not a huge amount of charges, and as Ive just successfully dealt with Morgan Stanley International Bank, I'm now far more confident to deal with financial fly by nights than I was at the start, when SLC and others were harrasing me on the phone for money I didn't owe.

 

So as far as the Student Loans Company Ltd is concerned- its game on.

 

And hey, SLC dont try your "we didnt get your court papers" whinge with the Northern Ireland courts. They post EVERYTHING across the Water by Special Delivery, so they can track the delivery on the Net and get a signature of the muppet who signs for it.

 

(As Morgan Stanley discovered to their cost!)

[noomill060]

yay! The Studes and ex-Studes now have our own forum!

 

Can we have our own discounted student only bar and Ents committee as well?

 

( Please have your ISIC and SU cards ready at the door.)

[noomill060]

Not a pep from Student Loans this week, but I got a "Pay your arrears within 14 days - or Smith Lawson and Co will start hassling you" letter, last week, presumably before my own legal papers landed with a thud on their desk.

 

(bet that p***ed on their bonfire!)

[emmaf01]

I'm just waiting to have enough on the credit card to do my mcol. I will be including your addition to the poc in mine, if you don't mind- then we can have Mr Seymour-Jackson running from court to court, making special appearances.

[CAGisforME]

Watching your two cases with interest.

 

So please we have our "own forum" to deal with all things studenty.

 

Now, where's my pint of snakebite and large herbal cigarette?

[noomill060]

SLC only have 13 days to respond to my small claim.

[livity]

SLC only have 13 days to respond to my small claim.

 

I'll make a prediction: they'll repay their debt in exactly 12.99 days.

 

There may be a "slight" delay before you get your money back - SLC reckon if they post something on day 12, you'll have it on day 13. They have an unjustified confidence in "business post", their mail provider. Don't be afraid to fax through court papers - that should sharpen their collective mind.

[noomill060]

6 days and counting...

 

C'mon SLC, you've gone ever so quiet.

 

Not so bumptious now, are you?

[emmaf01]

How many people have lodged a claim against SLC, up to now?

 

I'm still waiting for money from another 2 claims to come through, to give me the money to do the SLC.

 

Keep up the good work- I'm looking forward to finding out their response.

[noomill060]

Still no response.

 

They have till Monday to put in a defence or whatever, but thats Spring Bank Holiday, so I guess I will have to give them till Tuesday.

 

If you are on a low income I believe you can ask for the Court fees to be waived, emma.

[noomill060]

Just checked online- SLC entered a defence this afternoon. Wonder what it says...

[emmaf01]

I've handed my N1 into the court today, so I can't wait to here what there defence is!

 

Finally remembered we are fee exempt- if I'm not too lazy to wander to the court.:o
