Now I know the account has been fully paid because I was sat next too him whilst he was on the phone to Grattan and I myself wrote the cheque for the full amount which has been cashed.
What would you suggest would be the next thing to do as I thought they had to give the information re the chargesand as his account is fully paid, why is it with a debt collection agency?

Charlie1986,
Reply to their email asking what they are taking about. Looks like they have sent the wrong response.
Everyone makes mistakes, tell them again what you want and give them one more chance to get it right.0 -

It was typed in big bold letters. All i want is the list of charges, will he have to ring the debt company and get this from them as Grattan are not being the least bit helpful and won't even explain why his account is actually with the debt company.

Hi, this is my first post and I hope someone can please advise me?
I wrote to JD Williams (re Fashion World and Naturally Close) asking for details of charges and got a letter back asking for a fee of £10 for EACH company that I want data from, A Data Subject Access Request form to complete and sign, as well as a Proof of Identity form to be completed by a Witness!
The proof of identity seems fair enough, but I stated in my letter to them exactly what data I wanted (using the template) and can they really charge me twice even though they are all part of the same company?
I would be grateful for any suggestions as to how I should reply.
For some reason I cannot see after page 8 on this thread even though there appear to be 27!0 -

Hi i emailed littlewoods for my statements and they keep sending me back and forth between them and the debt recovery office.They say one minute no we cant give you statements then they ask why do you want them i say because i would like to make a claim for administratin charges only to be told we are not a bank you cant claim them.On one occasion they said you only have had a five pound charge so i said how do you know that if you cant get hold of my statements they Quickly changed the subject and wouldnt answer i am so fed up i dont know where i stand.I amright arnt i i can try and claim these back i am so mixed up .0

So many Studio cards talk in here.
I remember working for them on their customer 'care' line during 6th form.
I think I was too nice, I always used to take admin charges off no arguing because I thought they were beyond a joke!"I'm not from around here, I have my own customs"
For confirmation: No, I'm not a 40 year old woman, I'm a 26 year old bloke!0
