If you are serious about discussing tactics, then find a more secure enviroment
How do you know that they are looking?:wave:0 -

Its called Risk Assesment, they look at the numbers and know that you all use forums such as this to get your information.. they also know how many of you get your complaints rejected by the FOS and why and they will respond in a manner that in most cases do not address certain issues.
What you are doing here is given them the upperhand.. think about it.. this is a public forum they have equal access to it and in most cases can identify who you are by the letter you publish on here..
Think before you post.
That letter was done in May of last year.... its a closed complaint now as the FOS have told me this week they really can not do anything on this one.
I will not give up though.0 -

I then emailed this to the actual MD at Firstplus after receiving a letter stating that section 75 only applied to credit cards and not loans.
I have today received a letter dated 18th June ref ***** re account number 1*****.
In this letter it states that "Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 provides protection for consumers with regards to their credit card facility and quality of goods they have purchased with them"
I would like you read the following

I would like you view on the following and that my complaint be looked into further.
I shall pass information of your letter to trading standards and my complaint with the FOS too.
Checked out the second website, I saw a para that should apply and not just to credit cards. Its a complete scam I say:mad::wave:0 -

Can I just ask if you don't mind, do you or did you work for a Credit company?:wave:0 -
For those of you who had Cassidy Davis as the insurer, the gentleman you need to speak to is Piers Faulkner. Ask him for a copy of the policy document and get a copy of the agreement if you dont have one.
Also ask him if your broker had an agreement to sell insurance on their behalf.. if they didnt then he will tell you to go through to complaints@lloyds.com and will then clam up.
If you decide to go down the root of FOS then dont use templates found on open forums or published letter you have to understand that there are literally thousands of users who watch but dont post and they will use all your hard work with regards to points made and letters sent.
Get as much evidence as you can. Try to avoid legal jargon in your FOS form, as these forms are for unwitting consumers who know nothing, well thats what you want them to think..
Act Dumb, they are more likely to take you seriously.. believe it or not.
If no joy from the FOS then get legal on the lender.. many solicitors now take out an insurance policy so if they dont win they can claim off the insurance, and if they do the lender has to pay up the costs.
Remember that Claim Advisors are not Solicitors and are therefore unable to reclaim costs from the other side, so you end up having to pay them a percentage. And in most cases they instruct a solicitor to act on their behalf..which can cost you more.0 -
