No effect ?

 

They're just speechless. They realise that the usual waffle doesn't work, and they've got nothing else left to offer - apart from your money !!

 

Hence the "golden" silence ? :rolleyes:

 

Lookin' good to me, Houston !!

 

....da - da,da,da,da - pay...out !! :D

Just to update on this .. I have had absolutely NOWT from Studio in response to my last letter! The reason I'm just holding off on this is that I've been checking my account balance online & in early November it showed the balance as being in credit for the amount of their 1st offer which they sent vouchers for less the interest charged ... they then applied 'Debit adjustment - Cash' for the amount they sent me for charges plus interest charged as a cheque which showed my balance on the account as £80 I owed them! Anyway, it now shows my balance as £240 that I owe!! I really dunno what they're playing at so I'm waiting for my next statement to see where the other amount has come from (there is no detail loaded online for it yet)

 

Hoping it will come real soon so I can see what they are doing & decide on my next action ... I admit to being just a 'wee bit' wary on proceeding with this one as they have refunded my charges & interest so i'm just outstanding the contractual interest now & not sure how a judge would see this .. ie would it make me look greedy & unreasonable??

 

I'm also wondering if I should go down the SCA request route in an attempt to move them on a bit?

Sorry, I didn't reply earlier to this, Chez. Dunno why. Too much banter above ? !!! ;):D

I think if contractual interest is your entitlement under the contract, then you should not be denied that by a Judge. Personal opinion is just that, and should not influence the Judge's decision in law. However, I would go all out to get as much evidence together as possible to show how unreasonable Studio has been in dealing with you - and they have provided that, themselves !! Anything more you can do now, to show YOU being reasonable, and THEM not, will be worth doing, I reckon.

 

So, yes, if you haven't done so far, then invest a squid and send the CCA off ASAP. I fully expect them to completely ignore it. Make sure you remind them - just briefly - just once, so it's on record that you tried to help them from falling into breach of the CCA. Their non-response will keep it out of court, I'm sure. If it does go in, though, they'll be in big CCA trouble, methinks !! :o

D'ya know what Bill ... I haven't sent one for this ... ! I will get one posted Monday .... nowt to lose eh!

 

I've still not had my January statement so I may have to call them to send a copy. I'm presuming they have ceased the account as it now shows I owe £240 online n I would love to know what it's made up of! Checked online n it still shows December as the last statement so that's just got the refund cheque they sent applied to it !

 

Actually the CCA request asks for a current statement doesn't it so no need - thanks for the reply Bill! :)

 

(Still a bit wary to proceed with this one tho as it's just the contractual interest which is outstanding ..... :-| )

Don't forget, you can play at the same game as them. Take it to the steps, and drop it if you feel uneasy by then. :)

Mmmmmm might be worth £30 to see how far they'll go .....

 

I think I'm gonna hold off n see how the CCA goes 1st then take it from there - After that I presume I can just file a claim without no further warning to studio if that's what I decide??

Yeah, hold off, I agree. Let stuff run its' course, and let them slowly sink into the mire by ignoring your CCA. I personally would be inclined to send a LBA when they go into CCA breach, and let them know clearly then, exactly how much you've got against them. That won't cost £30, and you can maybe gauge from their reply whether to go further or not. Give them time to negotiate, even. With all that stuff hanging over them, they will surely make an effort, then !! Leave the £30 until you really have exhausted them !!!!

 

Then - if they haven't folded by then - make your decision about the SCC claim.

 

What say you ?

Hi chezt,

 

I saw my wife's Studio statement and headed straight here to see if anyone had taken them on, and your thread here has made me decide to get her "Administration" charges back too. Consider me subscribed. :)

 

Reading the way things have gone for you with this, I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry. I'm laughing because you got all your charges back, but I could cry when I see what their incompetence has done to the balance on your account.

 

I have a couple of queries if I may.

 

Can I use your wonderful letters for when I make my wife's claim? They seem to be just perfect.

What is the 'service charge' on the statement? Is that the Interest? If it is, what a bunch of thieves they are!!! :mad: :mad: :mad:

 

Thanks in advance and love to your little muffin

 

OB

 

Edit: Gee, Bill-k; you don't half get around, mate. :p

Please read the Stickies and FAQs. Your question may have been answered already.

 

Old Bear vs. NatWest - won after first letter £600

Mrs Bear vs. Studio - won after first letter £360

Old Bear vs. Abbey - won after first letter - only £50, but it's the principle

Old Bear vs. Black Horse - £117 of charges wiped off 2 loans, but more WILL follow

Mrs Bear vs. Index (Littlewoods) - SAR sent - 2/2/2007

Aww thanks for the luv to my lil muffin! Energetic lil chufta eh?! Yes of course you can use my letters ... copy n paste away! That's why I posted in the faint hope they may help others.

 

Also, yup the service charge is another word for interest .... they think if they call it a service it'll be better me thinks ... still an absolute fortune tho eh ... oughta wear masks the robbers!!

 

From experience they seem to pay the admin charges back no bother but expect to receive vouchers first .. just return them & tell 'em you want a cheque tho & there will be no bother I'm sure. They're digging in their heels a bit with the contractual interest tho so I think I just need to dig mine in a little harder.

 

I've been on the verge of 'chickening out' on this but my mates are there to encourage me so I think I may carry on ... just waiting an updated statement to see how they've reached a £240 balance on an account that's been zero for so long & all I've had is a refund from them!!! Laughable or what!!

 

Anayway, good luck with your claim :)

 

ps ... well done you for managing to read all my thread ... there's been a bit of frivolity along the way but we hope it just makes for a more interesting read .... hay Bill ... Willow ... bong .... :rolleyes:

OOOOOOMMMMMMMGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!

 

I can't believe it!!!! I've just checked my online balance - to see if they've applied the £1 to my account ... and surprise surprise they have ... BUT that's not the best bit ... bearing in mind my account balance was zero ... they sent me vouchers which I returned & they applied to my account which left me in credit! THEN they refunded charges + interest which they applied to my account and showed a balance of £80. WELLLLLLL here's the good bit ... Infact here's the full detail ....

 

01 Feb 2007 SERVICE CHARGE £ 2.08 £ 82.08

01 Feb 2007 ADMINISTRATION CHARGE £ 20.00 £ 102.08

01 Feb 2007 CASH PAYMENT - THANK YOU £ 1.00 £ 101.08

20 Dec 2006 DEBIT ADJUSTMENT - CASH £ 80.00 £ 181.08

16 Dec 2006 ADMINISTRATION CHARGE £ 80.00 £ 261.08

 

 

MY online balance is now £261.08 that I owe Studio !!!!!!!!!!!! Not bad for a zero balance starter eh!!!!!!!!!

 

Dunno how it will look on the printed statement but it reads upside down online (as I've posted above!) :o :confused: :confused: :confused:

Hang on, Chez. Your balance was £261.08 on 16/12/06:-

 

"16 Dec 2006 ADMINISTRATION CHARGE £ 80.00 £ 261.08"

 

And then reduced to £82.08 by 1/2/07:-

 

"01 Feb 2007 SERVICE CHARGE £ 2.08 £ 82.08"

 

Or am I reading it wrong, myself ?

Not that it matters; whichever way you read it, they have definitely been adding things on, certainly not taking them off.

 

You're right, what a bunch of fools.

Update & decision time!

 

UPDATE: I received a letter from Studio on Saturday stating how concerned they are to hear pf my recent problems blah blah ... They have enclosed a 'specimin' credit agreement which they say they do not charge for & have therefore credited my £1 to my account. They also say they've adjusted my account & therefore I now have a credit balance of £1 (& it is cos I've checked online) which obviously means they've realised what a mess they made of the account!

 

DECISION: I've decided to close this claim now & not persue for contractual interest ... basically they have refunded the charges, the interest on them + 8% interest so I think in light of recent discussions I could be asking for trouble to take this any further. Also I'll be glad to basically 'put another claim to bed' so to speak.

 

I shall in due course be obtaining a copy of my credit file (:-| ) and if there is a default on there then I shall deal with that accordingly.

 

So I spose I won!? :)

Well done Chezt. I stumbled across your thread a while ago and it made me decide to contact them. Had my transactions etc a week or so ago so I must crack on with them. Likewise, they have credited the £10 for SAR to my account (which I hasten to add has been a nil balance for about 2 years!)

Good on you....I shall certainly be referring to your thread to align it with mine (if you dont mind of course!)

 

NOTE TO SELF.....Dont forget to put the blinking extra lines on the spreadsheet for ALL the months of interest :D
