hi no i didn't give them permission to access any other account ,,, my origional signature was for another account ,, which they got paid or their work by me ,, but they tried to gain access to another account but the signature was out of date ,,, so bank contacted me personally and i reused to let the company get involved after what i found out about them in here ,, yet a year down the line they sent me an invoice out the blue ,,now i have the ombudsmen involved as they forged my signature to get my details over a year after it is out of date even the bank said something's wrong,,,, i dont like being threatened to pay as the money is being obtained by fraudborn_again said:
So can we assume that you engaged this company to claim PPI for you?acrchy said:hi all has anyone had there bank details giving to a third party after the third party has forged your signature to obtain them? ,,, if so did you successfully claim compensation? ,,,if so who from ?...............................ive had my account accessed by a ppi company wanting to see how much money i was paid i have proof they forged my signature to obtain the details ..............
If so you gave them permission when you signed up to them.
On a side note, how does a signature "go out of date?"
The principle you are talking about, signatures having a six month validity, is contained here. Nothing to do with finance in general though, more specifically regarding LOA obtained by ambulance chaser firms.

Me thinks someone is reading more into the statement than it actually says..
It is the claim letter that is only valid for 6 months. NOT the signature on it. And relates to complaint handling.
>>>To be valid, the date of the customer’s signature on the LOA must be no more than 6 months prior to the date of receipt by the lender.<<
As to the Op and signature valid for 6 months. Do you bank ask for one every 6 months in case you write a cheque or want to take out a loan or such?
That would be a NO...Life in the slow lane0 -
it was barclays that would not deal with the company because the signature was out of date ,,, it was they who told me this ,,, confirmed also by the banking ombudsmen who are waiting for the company to get back to me in the 8 weeks they have to get in touch ,, i am awaiting the repply from them to decide wether im happy with the decision or formaly ask the ombudsmen to investigate the signature they copied and re dated to see if i am right ..........i have four letters from the company asking me to re sign a letter allowing the dealing with the bank ,,,born_again said:Me thinks someone is reading more into the statement than it actually says..
