Re: Santander Unlawful Default Help Required
Evening all,
Been a while since I posted on this thread.
Santander finally did the deed and put a DN on my credit file. fecking
3 years on an agreed payment plan and these bastards do this to me.
Anyway I called the ICO this afternoon and they have suggested I write to Santander and request they back date the DN as the ICO guidelines state that a default should be added after 3-6 months of arrears not 3 years.
If they refuse the ICO have advised me to lodge an official complaint with them and they will look into the matter for me.
He did point out this was only a guideline but all the same they should also be following the terms of the contract. And by agreeing to a reduced payment plan they have in effect agreed to work outside the agreement that is in place.
By all accounts they are getting more and more complaints about organizations agreeing to payment plans then after a few years screwing people over like they done to me.
I just get the impression they can just do as they please and walk all over consumers with little or no recourse at all when they don't play fare.
Anyway just an update
Cheers as always

P.S. So in effect when my other 2 DN drop off I'll still be left with this fecker for another 3 years if they don't agree
