UPDATE: 22/02/12:

Another letter rec'd from Westcot: "....following your request for a copy of CCA.... our client has requested you write to them requesting a copy enclosing £1....trusting the above clarifies situation...."

I'm at a loss as to why they have sent this as I sent the request to RBS back on 06/10/10 to which they replied with an application form which then started the ball rolling on this diary.

Are they playing silly buggers or don't know what left hand from right is doing.

Do I need to respond with anything or just ignore.

As ever many thanks,
