yup LBA sent and got a nice letter telling me as i no longer wish to comply with their complaints procedure, they would close down my complaint. i sent this in reply
I can confirm receipt of the letter dated 4th Oct 2006 where you state your position with regards my so called complaint in respect of your unlawful charges, I am frankly at a lose as how such a large and respected company as Preferred could get this so wrong.
1./ My 1st letter to you was not a Complaint, but a request.
2./ My 2nd letter to you was simply to inform you of my intention to commence legal action against Preferred with regards to refunding the unlawful charges applied to my account in the time it was held by preferred.
With respect to Consumers credit Act 1974 & Unfair Terms in Consumer Contract Regulations, these Both apply to you in this case and I would strongly suggest you have your legal dept have a look at them.
The Data Protection Act section of my second letter to you simply refers to my recovering the cost of the Subject Access Request fee of £10 which I intend to include on my claim.
In the interest of goodwill I will extend my deadline for a favourable outcome in this matter and hope the offer of an out of court settlement of £2,300.00 will be seriously considered.
I expect a full reply to this letter and a response to my offer within 7 working days, after this point I will Serve my claim on preferred and let the courts decide. I will attached another copy of my schedule of charges with this as I have done in my previous 2 letters.
