Phoned them last week and were very good
Just rang them back as to what yesterday,but thinks it’s a waste of time trying to get money back off them
Is it worth contacting a local ombudsman?
If it were me I’d get it in writing that the whole thing is settled (in case they cock up / change their mind) and move on with my life.
I feel it’s a trade off between time, stress etc. and what is only a potential financial reward.
Just my opinion obviously.

A sensible opinion, my experience of similar is that you really need to enjoy getting a kick out of banging your head against a brick wall to want to chase companies like this.

The first thing to do which is little hassle is get confirmation in writing of their offer to write off outstanding debt and the basis on which they are doing that.
The second thing if you are prepared to spend the time, is write to them requesting a full and complete statement of the account over the life of the loan including all interest and charges. Also ask for the original T&Cs when this was taken out.
Once you have those facts to hand you can decide at your leisure (to some extent but I’d aim to decide either way and respond within a few weeks) and with whatever other relevant advice, whether 1.there’s a case to pursue and 2. whether you think it’s worth the effort.
Happy to help at any point with letter writing, reviewing the account and terms etc if you’d find that of any use.

That’s brill. As Frankie Howerd said ‘it’s wrong to mock the afflicted’ but that made me chuckle.

Cab chap recommended at least a breaking down there mistakes and all the monthly paperwork from when the loan started
Seems it has to be worth sending them an email
Sorry to keep banging on about it

Don’t apologise. If you get more money back/give them a severe pain in the balls we can all take vicarious pleasure from your success.

Not at all, it’s important that things get put right. Besides, people post way more about minor hifi tweaks

It was only after the call I thought why the fuck would she want to know what I weighed. We laughed about it just as she was dialling the psychiatric unit

I know this is a ballache for you, but it’s about the only use this shithole of a forum has is as a place to let of steam and share any issues.
I’d look at the situation as a job-of-work: you put in some effort - you stand to get some financial reward for it, if there’s nowt else going-on right now then it’s a good use of time

Seriously might take you up on that offer Wayne if it genuinely isn’t to much trouble. Writing these things aren’t my forte

I don’t want you spending much time on it,but just a basic email that gets to the Point rather than Me babbling on like an amateur
I can pay you in a either a Lionel Richie album that is scratched, or a sock originally worn by Liberace (allegedly)
