    Have had a reply from Satsuma via email. "we are happy to deal with your request, however we need written confirmation to our head office also enclose a £10 admin fee."

    So need to do that then :)



    Hi,


    What exactly have you asked them for ?


    As it sounds like they are treating this as a subject access request.


    If its just a breakdown of the loans you had from them, just ask for a statement of account.
    You can make your complaint a generic one, without knowing all the details, just ask for a refund of interest and charges on all accounts I held with you.


    No need to pay them a tenner, you are entitled to this information for free.

    Thanks again Sour

    I asked them the same as everyone else (which i got from the excellent site you gave me) will copy below

    "
    Dear Sirs


    Please send me a breakdown of all the loans I have had from you, showing for each loan:
    – the date it was taken out
    – whether it was topped up or rolled into another loan
    – whether any payments were missed or were late
    – the date the loan was repaid or the current outstanding balance
    – the interest and charges that were added to each loan
    – whether you performed a credit check before lending the money initially and on any rollover. "

    Thanks again Sour

    Have replied asking them to actually read my original email. :)

    Right, ok,


    Yes that could be construed as a SAR, and the creditor can charge you in that case.


    Maybe if you simply send a letter asking for a statement of account, you will get the information that's mostly relevant, for nothing.
    But if your happy to pay, that's fine.

  • Thanks Sour

    Quickquid replied to that without asking for a fee. If Satsuma keep on that line ill just reply asking for a statement on the account


    Thanks

    Have updated contact form
  • Just as i close the thread i get a very detailed reply from Lending Stream with a lot of information.

    It is very very defensive almost aggressive as if they know i am going to log a complaint next :)

    Not sure i hold much hope but at least a reply and an acknowledgement.

    Have sent formal complaint via email (adapted) to Lending Stream.

    I suppose even if they are not going to wipe the whole thing, the hideous charges could be removed (borrowed 2 amounts of £135 total balance is nearly £750!)

    Lending Stream are a particularly horrific company, just going back through my emails the amount of faux threats of home visits from there "home recovery team" was and is disgusting.

    Have again updated contact post.

    Progress...
  • Not much to report

    Satsuma eventually confirm they have sent statement of account by post not received yet

    Not a word from barclays as of yet

    have a good weekend all
  • Quick update

    No word from Barclays as of yet,

    Information received via post from satsuma will log next step later today

    Wagedayadvance finally reply to email and ask me to send money for a SAR will do same as i did with satsuma.

    No further word from the others i have already logged complaints with.
  • Complaint email sent to Satsuma

    Further email to WageDayAdvance explained just need statement of account not SAR
  • Just realised it has been 15 working days (sent on the 6th) since i sent Barclays my cca request
