Total Codswallop - JCB. :mad: :mad: :mad: Even Barclaycard MUST respect the law.I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.

Since my last post I have contacted the Office Of Fair Trading and my local Trading Standards Office and lodged a complaint against Sainsburys Bank for harassment. I also wrote to Sainsburys telling them what I have done and I faxed it to their Collections Centre in Halifax.
Since sending the fax I have received 4 calls at work from Sainsburys in the course of four-and-a-half hours! Each time I told the caller that I would not discuss the matter on the 'phone, that they should put the matter in writing, that I had lodged a complaint with OFT & TS and that they should pass this information on to their Supervisor. But still the calls keep coming!
Yesterday I told 4 various callers from Sainsburys Bank that I would not discuss the matter by 'phone but they, obviously, took no notice.
I am now resorting to simply pressing the "ignore" button when the Sainsburys 0870 number appears on Caller Display!0 -
When Lloyds rang my husband at work he told them that he worked for a call centre he could loose his job taking personal calls so asked the number to be taken off the list. They have to do this!0

rrwfotr. I see your point but why should I change my long-established number because Sainsburys Bank can't behave correctly?0 -

Can I ask how you contacted trading standards? can I do it online?
Creation are still doing the same to me, they told me 'because the matter was not resolved, they were allowed to call me at least 3 times a day!'
I still haven't heard anything about the 'income & expenditure' form i sent them on 5/7/07, trying to offer them £10 per month, but they can't/won't acknowledge this. Just keep insisting on calling me.I Hate Jobsworths!!!0 -

Just google trading standards, enter the town, and it will give you the address and contact details of that particular office.
Personally I would complain to the Trading Standards Office nearest to the address of the company that you wish to complain about.I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser.
