Re: Bosdog and Lloyds TSB

Hi Elsa and Vint, thanks for the help & info, really appreciated.
What do you think I should do? Do I send the Niddy special (and save the monthly fee for the Gold account for a later mention) or should I bundle the 2 together?
Once again, many thanks

Re: Bosdog and Lloyds TSB

Hi Bosdog,
I would if it was me. Hit them with the paid account issue later when they're not expecting it, or you need to backfoot them if they're getting more aggressive. The fine art of blagging
Obviously the letter in the link was a Niddy special specifically in response to what Flossy received. I've tweaked it slightly for you so it follows on from what they said to you in your letter. (Hope Niddy won't mind)

Dear Sirs,

Ref: XXXXXXXX

I refer to your letter received on xxxx.

I also acknowledge receipt of your letter which is, in fact total nonsense. Regardless of the provisions of sections 77-79 you seem to have forgotten about The Consumer Credit (EU Directive) Regulations 2010 and also c.39 (s.74 (A&B) (VA)) CCA(1974).

As I held what can only be regarded as an agreed overdraft, then the lending does indeed become regulated in line with Part VA (s.74) (s.1(b)) meaning the normal rules and CCA(1974) protection applies.

The lender also needs to send an annual reminder to me regards the overdraft, as well as copies of the original agreement made and an annual renewal form that contains the relevant prescribed terms that are clearly outlined in s.74(A)2(a,b,c,d,e). As nothing of the sort has ever been recorded as received by myself, this account is in fact unenforceable.

You inform me that "your CCA request is irrelevant under part V of the CCA 1974 as no agreement was signed when opening your bank account" yet it is set out in section 74(1)(b)" and here I am reading it and wondering what makes it irrelevant?
As I say, before quoting me legislation at least try and understand the principle behind it first.
Your claim that it is irrelevant regards s.74(1)(b) is not in context based on the fact the provision within s.74(A)(2) has failed; I highlight this provision for your perusal;
s.74A(2) The current account agreement must include the following information at the time it is made:
(a)the rate of interest charged on the amount by which an account-holder overdraws on the current account or exceeds the pre-arranged overdraft limit,
(b)any conditions applicable to that rate,
(c)any reference rate on which that rate is based,
(d)information on any changes to the rate of interest (including the periods that the rate applies and any conditions or procedure applicable to changing that rate), and
(e)any other charges payable by the debtor under the agreement (and the conditions under which those charges may be varied).
You should also be paying attention to s.74(B)(2) which reads, I quote;
s.74B(2) The matters referred to in subsection (1) are:
(a)the fact that the current account is overdrawn or the overdraft limit has been exceeded,
(b)the amount of that overdraft or excess,
(c)the rate of interest charged on it, and
(d)any other charges payable by the debtor in relation to it (including any penalties and any interest on those charges).

I trust that I have set out my position clearly?
I note that you are not prepared to enter into "repetitive correspondence" regarding this matter, which seems a rather unprofessional stance to take simply because you are ill informed or do not understand the issues.
I await your response with the requested information, as per my original letter (assuming you have the information, of course).

Yours faithfully,

16/08/12 Sent Niddy/Elsa Special letter to HF Solcs

30/08/12 Received letter claiming to be from LTSB but does not give correct account number for the current account in dispute and is on poor quality LTSB headed paper, and sent from Huddersfield so is actually I think from Westcot on Lloyds headed paper!

"As we haven't been able to agree a suitable repayment plan we've transferred your Lloyds account to a debt collection agency. We have instructed Westcot Credit Services Ltd to arrange a collection of the outstanding amount........Please contact WCS as soon as possible....."

Should I send "account sold in dispute" to the LTSB address on the letter, even though this has obviously not come from them?
Or should I wait for something on WCS letter head?

Any advice is appreciated thanks to all.

[vint1954]

Re: Bosdog and Lloyds TSB

Westcot are in Hull, so they probably sent it.

The account has not been sold, just farmed out for collection.

Just wait until Westcot contact you, if they can find the paper!

They have sent photo copies of some of the accounts monthly statements from October 08 to June 10, these show O/D interest, Unplanned O/D Fees and Account Charges of around £800 over this period. Most of the statements show an increase in the Account Overdraft limit and a change in the renewal date to the 3rd or 4th of the next month.

This has been previously advised, we will not continue with repetitive correspondence.
You account has been delayed for 10 days while we await you proposals

16/08/12 Sent Niddy/Elsa Special letter to HF Solcs

30/08/12 Received letter claiming to be from LTSB but does not give correct account number for the current account in dispute and is on poor quality LTSB headed paper, and sent from Huddersfield so is actually I think from Westcot on Lloyds headed paper!

"As we haven't been able to agree a suitable repayment plan we've transferred your Lloyds account to a debt collection agency. We have instructed Westcot Credit Services Ltd to arrange a collection of the outstanding amount........Please contact WCS as soon as possible....."

Should I send "account sold in dispute" to the LTSB address on the letter, even though this has obviously not come from them?
Or should I wait for something on WCS letter head?

Any advice is appreciated thanks to all.

03/09/12 Received From Wescot in red with the heading "important notice of debt collection" it reads "we have been instructed by our client to collect the above....to prevent further action you must..." etc
Ignore or send in dispute?
Cheers all

06/09/12 Sent letter to Wescot stating acc in dispute with HF and Lloyds with a copy of the HF letter included

11/09/12 Letter from Westcot investigating and collections suspended meanwhile

13/09/12 letter from Westcot "having contacted our client they have advised as this is a current acc they are unable to provide a copy of the agreement"...... *please contact us"

Wait or Respond? anyone please?
