What did you put on the AOS. What is the date on the claim SD

Hi This is the SAR template which I sent off for mine: Your Address Date Their Address Data Protection Act 1998 Subject Access Request Dear Sir/Madam ACCOUNT NUMBER: Your Account No./Ref No. Please supply me with a complete list of transactions and charges relating to my payment history with your organisation. Alternatively, a complete set of statements for that period will be acceptable. Additionally, where there has been any event in my account history over this period which has required manual intervention by any member of your staff, or any other person, I require disclosure of any indication or notes which have either caused or resulted in that manual intervention, or other evidence of that manual intervention in relation to my banking business with you. If you are unable to supply this data because there has been no such manual intervention, then please be so kind as to confirm this in your response. I enclose the statutory maximum fee of £10. You have 40 days in which to comply. Furthermore, if I discover that you have levied disproportionate penalties against me, then I shall be reclaiming them, and also reclaiming the enclosed £10 DPA subject access request fee. If there is specific information which you require in order to satisfy yourself as to my identity, please let me know by return. However, please note that the above address is the one which you normally use to communicate my private business to me and which you have hitherto found to be acceptable. Yours faithfully, A N Other I'm not sure about the address for HSBC if nobody can come up with the address I'll check it out for your at work tomorrow. By the way did you have any PPI and charges that you can claim back? If you have put the account in dispute send a reminder that it's in dispute to the lowlife DCA SD

They should accept a normal letter by rights, just ask them to confirm the amount owed. State that once you have received this you will sort out a payment that you can reasonably afford. It is sad but true that the majority of councils now pursue people even to them going down the route of the courts, even then the courts will only make a person pay what they can reasonably afford. All utilities, countil tax, mortgage etc., should come first before any other debts that you may owe. I was unemployed earlier this year and applied to my local council for benefit, no problem, then I got another job told them about it as soon as I started the job, now some 6 months later I get my new bill for the rest of year 3 months at £95 pm month more than I was paying before. They won't let me pay this extra £285 over the next year even though it was their fault as I informed them when I started worked again. Just goes to show how useless a lot of the councils are. SD

Thats great news and good luck with your DMP SD

I know it worrying but help is at hand. Its a long way off court and if a claim is made you will get lots of help from all the caggers. If it went to court a judge would only order you pay what you can afford even if its only £1. Don't speak to any of the low life on the phone it is their chance to try to intimidate, scare and force you to make some sort of payment. Get the telephone harrassment letter off immediately make sure any correspondance you send to them states communincation only in writing. If your with BT ring them up and get your number changed and go ex directory it can be done within 24 hours and you even get a choice of phone numbers you can have and then you will get peace and quiet, the only calls then would be from your family and friends who you give the number to. I did that and the calls stopped immediately. I have had only one creditor take me to court so far and that was struck out with the help of the caggers. SD

Ring CCCS up and tell them what is supposedly going to happen on Friday if need be see if you can arrange with CCCS to take the money January instead of December gives you more time to sort Shop Direct out. You can then also just send token payments to your other creditors for Dec with a short note to say that the there has been a problem setting everything up but that the plan should start in Jan. I did this when I went with CCCS back in April last year and all but one was fine with it and the one that wasn't happy about it still only got a token payment. I would also have thought that you would need to agree to Shop Direct taking money out of your wages. As above if you have a contract for your staff discount check it out. I don't think that there's much else you can do until your HR get back to you. I would suggest you get a direct email address for HR they must have one or someone higher up to get this sorted out for you. Are you near to the offices if so call in and say you want to see someone there and then. Make sure you inform CCCS about this situation and also see if they can get through to them on your behalf as you are not having any success. SD

HI Guess you've got two threads running on the same subject. SD

If you've sent them an account in dispute letter then it is up to you whether you stop payment to them if you haven't already. Unless the debt is in joint names then they have no right to your partners details of income. You could send them a reminder that the account is in dispute and also refer to your previous letter regarding writing off the deebt and enclose a copy of that letter then wait and see what response you get. That's what I'd do but it is up to you. SD

When did you last pay on the loan? over 6 years ago it would statute barred. SD

Hi Sorry to hear of your situation but there is help at hand. Here's the telephone harrassment letter Harassment by telephone Account Number: XXXXXXX I am writing in relation to the quantity and frequency of telephone calls that I have received from your company, which I deem to be personally harassing. I have verbally requested that these stop, but I am still receiving calls. (delete if necessary) I now require all further correspondence from your company to be made in writing only. I am of the view that your continued harassment of me by telephone puts you in breach of Section 40 of the Administration of Justice Act 1970, and the Protection from Harassment Act 1997. If you continue to harass me by telephone, you will also be in breach of the Communications Act (2003) s.127 and I will report you to OFCOM, Trading Standards and The Office of Fair Trading, meaning that you will be liable to a substantial fine. Be advised that any further telephone calls from your company will be recorded. (Even if you don‘t yet have recording equipment!) Yours faithfully You will get help from the caggers with claiming charges back, I haven't gone down that route yet but I will be doing soon. Have you signed up with CCCS or Payplan as you will find most of the time that most of your creditors will stop interest if you are with a Debt Management Co., (DMP). Keep making the £1 token payments. I would still be inclined to CCA all of them. The main thing at the moment is that the mortgage co., are trying to help. Have a read of some the threads about claiming back charges and also have a read of the template section about the different letters you can send. Hang in there someone will be along soon with help over claiming the charges back. Did you have PPI (payment protection insurance) on any of the cards etc., and if so did you make a claim on any of them. I am actually on the forum under another name but I am having problems logging into that and hopefully webmaster can sort it out for me. SD

Think these are debt litigation and recovery services. Type in the search on the tool bar and put in dlrs there are a few threads there. SD

Yep, that's why the fine if 1K SD

Personally I'd just ignore them and wait for the doorstep visit. They have to prove it's you that's opened the account not you to prove you haven't. I'm sure that if it went as far as court it would be laughted out of it. You've the proof that you details were used illegally so tell them to sxx off. SD

The vans detect signals being sent to TV sets, they can actually tell you what you were watching. They know what addresses are occupied and if you've not got a licence they want to know why as they don't believe people don't have TVs. When my son moved into his flat he had a call saying you haven't a licence he said I don't have TV so let them and of course he didn't have TV he hadn't got round to buying one. Needless to say no apology just good bye. I doubt if your monitor would be picked up but the equipment they use is very state of the art stuff. SD

As above don't do anything until you have something in writing and don't send them an I&E either. SD
