    Hi Mouseann,

    Well done for getting some kind of response back from them, that at least is a victory.!! I didn't get any post either, but that's okay. I had to ask Niddy for help on some that I got yesterday, and was really happy that he looked at it for me, another one unenforceable. We have now got 3 unenforceable, and 3 which still are not replying, and its over 7 weeks since we started the CCA route. They don't appear to be in a rush to get things sorted, but I certainly don't mind any delay at all.

    well, its still a blooming miserable day, the washing is decorating the clothes airer, such a nice touch to any room, don't you think.!!

    they agreed, as a "goodwill gesture", to refund £200 of the excess I paid on my recent repair, which takes it back to the original excess of £100. HOWEVER, this is not a result for me! They go on to say that the amount of £200 has been refunded to my M&S Mastercard

    Hi MouseAnn - I used to work for an insurance company check the small print if it doesn't specifically say they will refund to your M&S card I would write to them and insist on a cheque, they should not know anything about your circumstances - as insurers they should only have access to info relevant to you as an insurance risk/insurance customer - but I have never worked at M&S.

    My brain is frazzled with doing job applications!!

    Ann, I'd get on to the insurers and do what chatty suggests, you may get your £200.

    Hi Ann, I'd do what Chatty says. The may be a breach of the DPA (Data Protection Act) if the insurance co provided details to the credit card company. I'm sure someone will know a lot more about this than me but I do know that financial institutions are not allowed to share specific information without your explicit instructions.

Why are they hounding you when it is pretty obvious some horrid crims are responsible? How stupid are these people???? Do not get stressed you are our friend and we think the world of you. What idiots these bankers are? What is their fraud department doing punishing the innocent????

    Thanks for the advice everyone,

    Good point re data protection.

    Will get a letter sent off - if I make it a bit syrupy and thank them for their gesture it might work. Certainly won't do any harm!

    Hi Sw,

    Sorry to hear about your dr's appointment. Hope you get the diet sorted out - I am assuming that you have the type of diabetes which doesn't need insulin?

    And, I must confess, I have not ebayed anything yet - nor have I tracked down "Mr. Liverpool"! It was only libbyjade talking about that part of the world that started my memory working overtime. Think I am going to leave that one to memory - of when we were both in our very early 20's. (Wish I still was!)
