    Hi

    From reading through this forum, I gather that I can claim against charges on store cards as well as credit cards.

    However, I had a Warehouse store card and a Debenhams store card and currently have a Topshop store card (only small outstanding balance, I'm trying my best and will cancel it once paid!), all of which I am going to write to to request that they cough up (I kept my statements for each of these accounts). Could anyone tell me the addresses to write to? I have looked through the contact list but neither of these companies appear.

    Your help is appreciated - I can post the letters off tomorrow then X
  • looking for some help please

    Amatt You can send the first letter to your local branch who will forward it if necessary to the appropriate office who will reply to you.

    Good luck :)
