sure I might not see a penny for any fines, but at least it might stop them doing it to others.

At worst it will be a slap on the wrist, or the monetary equivalent. It is extremely doubtful that this company will never do this again

Hi All,

This morning FOS emailed to say they'd been in touch with the company in question and had agreed a compensation of £100 for the inconvenience and a promise not to contact me again.

My question, in case anyone can help, or sign-post me in the right direction, is;

1) Can I sue the loans company for harrasment
2) Can I sue them for breach of Data Protection Laws

This £100 is as realistic as it gets.

I wouldn't wind myself up any further. Honestly it's not worth the anger.

This is even from someone who had a problem earlier this year when this type of company clearly thought they were God when it came to use of CPA. But I guess because so many borrowers had complained before.....that was it as they cancelled of CPA. (Turns out they get to hide under their band name so not worth the effort)

What the FOS agrees with on the phone doesn't always tend to get written down, just await the formal letter to see what I may mean.

In the end I don't really know what wound me up more but getting angry/upset/frustrated was definately just letting them win. I'll always believe in people posting about compo as a source to wind others up should be verified.
