    Looks like you need to work out who you gave money to (and why, by the sounds of it), and ask them for it back if there's a valid reason for a refund.
  • the people on the end of the phone pretended to be flm loans or so i belive, the company in the post [ak managment]
    removed 79.00 after i was told no up front fees, iDIDNT OBTAIN A LOAN.
    PERSONNAL TOUCH ARE QUOTING A DIFFERENT COMPANY ADDRESS OF COMPANY WITH SIMMLAR NAME.
    the address of the company that withdrew the 79.00 is AK MANAGMENT [UK]
    THIS ADDRESS WAS GIVEN TO OBUDSMAN
    trouble the company personal touch are saying there nothing to do with us

    Can i just ask, did the fact a fee was wanted upfront not make you think "is this right/ this dont sound right" ?
  • It would help tremendously if you could write your posts in clear English without using the unnecessary capital letters.

    Get the postal address of the company that has taken your money, and write to them by recorded delivery demanding full repayment within 14 days and telling them that if they don't you will take the matter to the FSA and OFT as they have falsely taken money (this will cost them a lot more than refunding your money). Do not bother with phone calls or emails - recorded post only. This will work as long as the company is within the UK.

    If the company is abroad (such as a back street in India or Pakistan) then I'm afriad your money is long gone.

    Use it as a learning point not to get scammed again.
