Flossy UE Diary & YB Hassle

[PriorityOne]

Re: Flossy UE Diary & YB Hassle

Totally get that.... Just curious with what you did/are doing...

I have sent that one already and the litigation one... I think I am working my way backwards instead of forwards.... Much more fun this way! lol

I think my letter may have crossed with Cabot's as mine was sent on dated 17/10 (had no one to post for me) so was sent 22/10 and their letter was dated on 19/10!!! Think I will wait to see if they write back after that letter. I did also email them.... I think I need to check emails to see if I sent the letter by email on the 17/10 as I knew it couldn't go in the post straight away that day!

I did email them on the 17/10/12 and attached the letter so they would get it quicker. They wouldn't answer my letter until I gave them the reference number, name and address, etc... I think they may need to shoot the person who replied as due to data protection I had already answered all of these questions in my letter!!!! mmmmmmm

Hi Flossy....

Following your PM, I've now found your thread but as it's very long, I'm only going from the last few posts..... so if I miss the bleedin' obvious, someone please tell me....

Even though you suspect that your letter may have crossed with Cabot's it would certainly do no harm to send a request under CPUTR but it must be headed up as a formal complaint. Make sure your name, address and reference number are on the top and send it by rec. delivery. If they have already set solicitors onto you, then the same needs to go to them as well in order to fend off court papers from landing.

The link is here:

Our Templates | CPUTR (Unenforceability) Templates | Final Response - CPUTR (LiP)

They will then need to address your complaint without being misleading. Thus usually means that they fluff around the issue rather than answering you directly but whatever fluff they use will tell us which way they're leaning.

Hope that helps....

Re: Flossy UE Diary & YB Hassle

It's my UE RBS, last paid in Jan 2010, last time I heard from a DCA was Jan 2012!

Nice to hear from you, hope you're OK.

I remember now... That's good!

Talking of RBS I cant get a current account with Santander even though I already have a savings account with them. I am with the Natwest and at the time of changing just swapped banks to whoever would have me and I didnt even think at the time about all the connections with my other debts...

It would have been so much easier as well with them to have everything in the same place. Never mind, I will try and see who else will have me!!!!

Re: Flossy UE Diary & YB Hassle

I've also got a collection of threatening red letters and discount letters from Hull Heroes Wetclothes and their letterheads for rent Nelson Guest puppets, a couple of dispute letters saw them off and I never heard from them since the summer of 2011!

Thanks FP. I have sent A/C in dispute anyway so will await there reply... I have been trying to manage a few things myself hence the delay in updating plus of course I have been quite poorly too...

My main one now is Creation on my Creation thread as they have now pushed solicitors on to me...

Will update all my diary as well today..

Is your EN or UE FP? How long has yours been going on for now?

Both accounts have had letters sent as per normal -

PT letter, Threat O Gram, etc. They will not accept any further delay hence being passed to a Solicitor.

16 October 2012 - Wrote to Earlwood Solicitors sent a copy of the letter to Arden.
Letter basically was to stall them from taking any action while I work on a 'please write this debt or at least a good % of it off as I will not be able to pay them the amounts owing for quite some time due to me being unable to work due to being so ill." I also emailed it so that it would get there quicker. Just need to work on the letter now and send to Niddy to have a look at before sending.

Re: Flossy UE Diary & YB Hassle

I quite like Santander.. I mean sure they cock up like the others but they have been pretty OK.

I also really like my Halifax account - they have merged with Lloyds my nemesis but they don't share records etc ..... yet.

Likewise, I use HBOS as my main account (mine are Bank of Scotland) and also have Santander now. Well that's not entirely true cos I have a lot of current accounts, including Nationwide, Coventry, Bank of Cyprus (business & personal).....

HBOS are now integral, yes they share data within the group, so if you owe money to Lloyds don't keep a lot in HBOS or they'll snap it up. I had that happen yonks ago (5 years) when Halifax took a grand out my BOS account - they shared data etc at that point, the same as Lloyds/HBOS do. Why do you think the HBOS online is now identical to Lloyds.... cos they're now running from the same platform ready for the final merger.

Re: Flossy UE Diary & YB Hassle

Santander are linked to old GE Money accounts (such as debenhams store card or asda credit card) - but otherwise you ought to be ok. I just opened a 123 account as my main DD account, I keep £3k in there and pay the main bills from it - in my first full month I was paid out £32 and paid £2 fee

It depends what bills/DD's you have whether it's a good bet but it is a good account and IB is sooo easy to use, I actually like it - shame the bank as a whole is shyte!

Its perfect for me as I can do the same thing as my situation is similar to yours.. I can then get my DD paid out and earn cash along the way. I have 1 account with them anyway so I just need to set up 2 more. Perfect!

I hope you used Topcashback to get the account so you could make more money?

Santander was going to buy 318 branches of RBS but it has fallen through.

Will update my diary a bit later. Just got to go out for a bit.

Thanks Niddy.
