  • Car credit cancellation

    Please advise
    my son fell behind with his car payments with santander, their legal team dwf sent a warning letter, to which my son called and spoke to them, told themselves was struggling due to changing jobs in which the pay date was the end of month not middle as previously agreed. Made a payment plan for the next 3 payments to be so that he was upto date with the plan before going back to his normal monthly amount,and that because it was coming up to Christmas they would let him pay in January when he got paid on Mon 31st unfortunately my son never got the confirmation email ( spam box) the agent hadn't set the plan up as discussed and they didn't receive a payment on the 15 December which was not discussed or then the 15th Jan as my son was on the understanding he had to make the first planned on this Monday. Instead received a letter from santander saying it was giving back from dwf and seeking full payment as they had cancelled credit agreements. My wife called them today and offered to pay the outstanding amount plus 3 months payments (£2000) but they said because it was cancelled there's nothing we can do! Is this true? We have asked for the voice recording of the chat with agent but this will come to late as they are demanding the car back by Friday 4th February Help

    Hi Sideways

    a) Write a Formal Letter of Complaint, mark it as such. Explain what's happened, why the bank has got it wrong (they promised to set up payment plan) and what you want them to do (set up payment plan as promised).

    In your letter make sure you state the following 'I would remind you that Santander are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Santander Bank signed up to the Banking Conduct of Business Sourcebook (BCOBS). BCOBS states that 'a firm to pay due regard to the information needs of its clients and communicate information to them in a way which is clear, fair and not misleading'.

    Also add the following at the end of the letter - 'If a payment plan is not set up I will be left with no choice but to lodge a formal complaint with the Financial Ombudsman Service'.

    Email the letter to the CEO of Santander - nathan.bostock@santander.co.uk (his executive Team will pick it up).

    Follow the bank's complaint procedure.

    b) Also send Santander a Subject Access Request, they have 30 days to provide all the data on the account for at least 6 years. That should include all recent communications. So if it's been agreed the advisor would have noted it on the account. Make sure you get Proof of Postage.

    c) Write to DWF informing them that a Formal Letter of Complaint has been lodged with Santander, make sure you get Proof of Postage.

    The complaint should put a halt to DWF doing anything for the time being, whilst the matter is being investigated.
