10/04/12 Received correspondence back from Santander after 4 months from dispute letter.
They have now agreed that they will refund all charges from 2008 (6k off total o/s!!) as they accept that they did not send me any account statements or contact me from 2008 to 2011, They do not accept that they have to credit anything due to the rate jacking over the period of the loan (many others have been re-funded for their rate increases) Therefore my registered default is not showing the right amount with experian. Should they have defaulted some time in 2008 rather than the end of 2011? I Have sent the letter to Niddy by pm and could do with further advice. This could be of interest to all flexiloan victims!

03/11/14 Received today from Santander notice that "the associated balance has been sold to Hoist Portfolio Holding 2 Ltd"
there is another letter with it From Hoist stating that Robinson Way are handling it and should be my point of contact.
It was 3 years from my last payment made in June 2008 before they finally defaulted me in 2011. No payments have been made since 2008 so statute barred is an argument I think. Also I never rocked the boat by trying to get the default date corrected at the Credit Ref agencies, could this be an opportunity to try as I presume the new creditor would have to register their interest at the Credit Agencies.

Either way, do I wait for their next move or send a CCA to RW

Thanks all

[Never-In-Doubt]

Re: Newbie needs advice please Cahoot Flexiloan

If you last paid in 2008 it IS statute barred. End of.

Hoist issue claims so be careful - I'd send the SB template in response to hoist. If RW then write, send a copy to them.

Thanks All

03/11/14 Received today from Santander notice that "the associated balance has been sold to Hoist Portfolio Holding 2 Ltd"
there is another letter with it From Hoist stating that Robinson Way are handling it and should be my point of contact.
It was 3 years from my last payment made in June 2008 before they finally defaulted me in 2011. No payments have been made since 2008 so statute barred is an argument I think. Also I never rocked the boat by trying to get the default date corrected at the Credit Ref agencies, could this be an opportunity to try as I presume the new creditor would have to register their interest at the Credit Agencies.

04/11/14 Statute Barred template sent to Hoist recorded/signed

05/11/14 received today a ""Transaction Summary Statement from Santander showing "Transfer to Debt Purchaser" of full amount on 09/08/14.

Also a second letter from R Way dated 01/11/14 saying "Your account details have been passed to us for collection....we want to help you clear your balance as we have with hundred of thousands of other customers....an affordable and flexible payment arrangement...call to discuss

I think I should now refer them to the SB letter sent to Hoist on the 4th?

Re: Newbie needs advice please Cahoot Flexiloan

Hoist and Rob Way have the same address. Cahoot have obviously sold on all their flex accounts from the same period as I have had all the same letters as you. I waited to receive a further letter, ie the Rob Way one, so I am now sending the SB letter. My thread is http://forums.all-about-debt.co.uk/showthread.php?5596-OH-s-Cahoot-

As Rob Way have generously offered such support , I would send the letter to them

Re: Newbie needs advice please Cahoot Flexiloan

UPDATE 05/11/14I think I should now refer them to the SB letter sent to Hoist on the 4th?

Exacly, literally send a cover letter saying "Please find attached a copy of a letter sent to Hoist on 4th November, the content of which is self explanatory"

Leave it at that.....

21/02/12 Letter sent following Niddy's advice " I am in the middle of a dispute...

10/04/12 Received correspondence back from Santander after 4 months from dispute letter.
They state that they will refund all charges from 2008 (6k off total o/s!!) as they accept that they did not send me any account statements or contact me from 2008 to 2011, They do not accept that they have to credit anything due to the rate jacking over the period of the loan (many others have been re-funded for their rate increases) Therefore my registered default is not showing the right amount with cra's*. Should they have defaulted some time in 2008 rather than the end of 2011? I Have sent the letter to Niddy by pm and could do with further advice. This could be of interest to all flexiloan victims! (*it has now been corrected at the cra's to reflect this reduction.)

03/05/12 From Santander "I am writing to advise you that we will be referencing your account to our agent Wescot Credit....will be responsible for managing your account....all further communications should be addressed to them in the first instance...."

10/05/12 Received letter from Moorcroft : " We have been instructed by Santander to collect overdue debt... (showing new figure, see previous post )
"it is a legal requirement to send notice of intended litigation before proceedings....."
"to prevent our recommending to our client that solicitors commence legal proceedings..."
"if agreement cannot be reached by 15/05/12, a claim may be issued by solicitors instructed to act on behalf of our client without further notice"
"please call us today and we will be happy to discuss a repayment programme....."

Should I send in dispute letter, is it time to involve FOS or for a DMP? Why from Moorcroft when Santander has said their agent is Westcot?

Niddy, could you advise please?
