Can/Has anyone claimed back money via direct debit?

Can a former agent see if they can login through the "Agent Menu" dark blue form in the left navbar on here:?

It's a barely-concealed copy of FP, but they have now changed their trading address from Westmead (Swindon/FP), to Warmley (Bristol/KZ).

I've been in contact with the Direct Debit Company & basically no we can't get anything back from DD payments.

Very annoyed - what's the point of having a Direct Debit Guarantee if it only covers you if payments are taken in error or the bank's made a mistake. It should cover us no matter what the situation.

It looks like we're going to get naff all from the administrators. We really need to campaign Halifax Bank of Scotland more. They refused 3 bids for Farepak by Park. Why? We wouldn't be in this mess if Park had been allowed to buy Farepak.

Email & Write to Tony Blair - suggest he leaves his leadership on a high by being the Prime Minister who saved Christmas 2006!

Sign the petition to get HBOS to pay us our money back http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/unfairpak/index.html

The petition is being backed by Frank Field MP who wants Halifax Bank of Scotland to repay all our monies.

If you haven't already - please visit https://www.unfairpak.co.uk/forum You can read everything we've found out already regarding this fiasco!

A friend is a local businesswoman and had decided to hold a charity fundraiser auction for those who have lost money in the county(Pembrokeshire) . Hopefully many businesses will donate items (she has donated a hot tub!) and many will turn up to bid. The profit will then be divided between those who have proof that they have made payments to farepak. She's a good lady!

Ashley dont give up on lloyds after going into branch to sort out chargeback on 23/10 I did not hear from them. Today I went to draw out money and to my surprise my refund had been paid.

What I did was send a letter to them and they did the rest. Adrees was
Lloyds tsb
Debit Card Services
7th Floor
Essex House
South Church Avenue
Southend-On-Sea
Essex
SF1 2LB

send details of all transactions made by the card, card number and expiry date and say it was for goods not received.

Hope this helps others also

hi.

The local consumer programme in wales run by the BBC called X-ray has this update on their website.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/x-ray/allarticles/stories/6p10_farepak.shtml

it explains that the Abbey, Co-operative bank and Alliance and leicester are giving money back to people who payed on their visa debit cards.

Unfortunately for me i payed by standing order from an A&L visa debit account, but because i didn't pay on my card i can't claim nothing back.

I thought this information may be useful to some of you.

Good luck all.

Wow This will be great if the coop are paying up, I have only paid £250 with my card, and sent a letter to them a week ago, so here's hoping - fingers crossed.

Can I warn people please not to follow links and log in unless you know exactly where that link is taking you. Whilst this new user might be completely genuine and just another person affected by this horrible mess, it is a known phishing scam to ask for log ins throught a fake website.

Just be careful please, the post has been reported to the mod team for advice.

Do you know if you can claim with Lloyds TSB if you paid through on line banking. i transferred my payments each month from my account to farepaks. Wish I,d used my visa
