NOSIA Natwest

I have an outstanding debt with Natwest which is being paid off through Zinc financial. Today I received a letter from Natwest stating that they have not full met the requirements because A.They did not send a NOISA or statement when they should have or B.A NOISA or statement contained errors.
My question is, are they in breach of regulations because of this and would I possibly be liable for any compensation or reduction of my balance owing?
Any help would be very much appreciated thank you.

    A statement is required at least once a year, if they fail to provide one, the debt is unenforceable for the duration of the non compliance, they also cannot charge you interest for the same period.

    That is the limit to any reimbursement you may seek from them.

    Do you mean Link Financial?

    If so is it Link Outsourcing who may be an agent (DCA) for NatWest or has this debt been assigning (sold) to Link Financial ? Or neither :)

    From what you say NatWest have remedied their error of not serving you with annual Notice of Sums in Arrears (s86) so compensation may not be an option.

    What is the current status of this debt? Was it a credit card, loan or current account overdraft?

    You may benefit from sending a s 77-79 CCA request to NatWest (if they still own the debt) or Link (if they have purchased the debt).

  • The letter in full would have told you if you were due a refund due to this that they will use it to offset against any debt you still owe them then if there was any remaining balance from your refund the cheque was attached to the letter.

    We had same letter. No debt still owing so cheque attached.

    Have a read of the letter again in full and see what they have done to rectify this error
