    If they intend to visit your house they must make an appointment, refuse to do so and say that you do not wish to make an appointment. Also i wouldn't ring, just do everything in writing. If the number is a premium rate like 0845 0870 then that is against OFT guidelines aswell.

    Cheers DarkConvict, i will not be calling them. I wonder why they couldnt have responded to my cca request as quick.

    Update:
    Today Studio called asking why i havent payed the minimum and thanking me for the £1 payment, the cheeky blighters have taken my cca request payment off my bill.

    They say they have no knowledge of the dispute letter and the cca request which was with the postal order.

    I cant believe this lot:mad:

    hi finishe

    Missed your SOA previously and will come back.

    Did you send the CCA request registered post?

    And there is a letter about using the £1 towards the account.
    If you've have not made a mistake, you've made nothing

    Yes it was sent 1st c recorded and it was signed for the next day. I actually put in the letter to be used only for the cca request and if they couldnt provide one then it should be returned:confused:
