    Had my acknowledgement from FOS on Saturday saying they have a backlog but will deal with my issues as soon as they are able.

    How are you getting on with MCOL Mojo-jojo?

    Hi Daisy

    How long after you sent your complaint off did you recieve a reply from the FOS?
  • About a week. Are you still waiting then?

    However, I sense from the tone of their letter it will be a while before I hear anything further.
  • Just a quick statement, 'follow it to the end'.

    They offered me the minimal amount first by letter then said I could go to FOS. I decided to do some research which led me to follow the MCOL route, in my research it states that they will fight it and then offer full amount a day or so before the court deadline. Obviously without any admission.

    I did this for mine and then my wifes. Both times they offered full payment 1 day before the court deadline.
  • I only claimed the Charge plus court 8% interest however, on my latest set of documents that arrived from Cap One included their own calculation sheet in which they included there interest charge too, unfortunately I didn't claim this so they did not pay it. May be worth a try if you are thinking of claiming, in their spreadsheet it was
    e.g. Charge £18 Interest Charged on Fees 0.21 Court Interest 0.12
  • Hey folks,

    I was hoping to get some help please?

    I had a good will offer form Cap One totalling £458 :mad: when i should have recived 1800.73 (inc interest). I wrote to them that i will be accepting the offer as a partial payment and that i will be pursuing the court for the remainder howerver i didn't and NOW i have finally got my bum into gear. So i was hoping for some advice whether to send a letter to Cap One requesting the remainder or should i just go straight and claim at court? Also would the length of time be a hinderance for me too? Where what is MCOL btw and should i contact them to claim?


    Thanks in advance.

    :D
  • I too have received a "Good Will" offer from Captial One.

    Claimed - £220.00
    Cap One Offered £170.00

    What should I do, accept or carry on with MCOL or FOS?

    Accept for sure. £50 is probably fair for their service (can't believe I'm saying that)
  • Hi

    I had a good result with the FOS. It took a bit of time but got everything back I asked for.

    That was my intial thought, as most people have been getting bad offers from Captial One...

    Do you think it's worth it in my case, as they are only £50.00 quid short of what I asked them for?
