If Lloyds wrote to you confirming that they have no record of the loan being in your name - you kept that letter, yes? - then I would have sent a copy of that letter to Link along with a demand for the refund of any and all monies paid to them in respect of the account.
Also, did you do as Sourcrates suggested and send written complaint to Link and escalate to FOS after 8 weeks of no satisfactory response?
Thanks, I have the letter and have already sent that to link and they have a record of it (confirmed today). I also sent a complaint to them but will escalate to the FOS today with copies of the new letters sent to me
Thanks for the advice0 -
Another thought - I wonder if Link did not comply with your Section 77/78 request because they had the same information from Lloyds as you did and they therefore knew that your name was not linked to the account/loan in question?0

Sorry to reopen the thread but Link are writing to me again.
Is there anyway I can stop these letters?
