Re: Free's UE Diary

Hi,

Update

Just received a letter from 1st Credit in regards to the BOS account.

They are offering

• Pay in 7 days 30% discount
• 8 to 30 days 20% discount
• Beyond 30 days 10% discount

But still no CCA from them despite requesting.

Thanks

Re: Free's UE Diary

Hi,

I sent a CCA request a number of weeks ago to 1st Credit re-Bank of Scotland using the template advised.

Today they have sent me a letter (not dated) all it had enclosed was backdated statements from 2003 (about 200 or so) and no CCA or terms etc, I have never asked for statements and or invoices - but I have asked for a valid CCA

Please see letter below

1st Credit Limited
The Omnibus Building
Lesbourne Road
Reigate
Surrey RH2 7Jp

Dear Sir/Madam,
Please find enclosed copy statements/invoices as requested for 1st credit Reference:

Upon receipt please contact 1st Credit immediately to discuss the above account.

Yours Sincerely

They have asked me to contact them which I have no desire to do this.

Re: Free's UE Diary

WE’RE HERE TO HELP
We wont write to you again until we have the agreement, but if you have any questions in the meantime, please do phone us.

Obviously you know it's 1st April and you never really read that, right?

They are not there to help; they've more chance of Elvis having a dump on mars than you ringing and best of all why are they so confident they'll "have" this agreement - Lowell (SDG) are notorious for such f**k-ups, being the catalogue used to send goods with no agreement for months later - if at all, most never got one!

Suffice to say, sit tight and see them magic this agreement, or wait till they write and say they've closed the account and you now owe nothing, then a week later it'll drop off your credit file - that's the norm!

Re: Free's UE Diary

Hi,

Just an update.

I have received a letter from Lowell (Littlewoods), they say

WE ARE WAITING FOR YOUR CREDIT AGREEMENT
I am afraid that we have not received a copy of your credit agreement from Barclaycard yet. They are still trying to retrieve it from their archives. We have placed your account on hold until we receive further information.

WE WILL BE IN TOUCH
When we receive it we will post it to you strait away.

Re: Free's UE Diary

Hi,

Just received a letter from Lowell re my Littlewoods.

Letter reads as follows

News on your credit agreement request

We have been in touch with Barclaycard about the copy of your credit agreement.

They have let us know they are trying to retrieve the agreement from their archive.
As soon as we have it, we will send it to you.

What will happen next

In the event we cannot obtain a copy of the agreement we will write to you again and inform you of this. Once you have seen your credit agreement, we will ask you to pay your outstanding balance in full.


Thanks
