    And it gets better than that because one of those amalgamated products is a storecard which was *transformed* into a credit card. Hence the possible doubly whammy

      Re: marlin europe 1 ltd - marks and spencer credit card and reserve account

      At some point when you sought advice on debt forums the general trend was 'you've spent the money, now you pay up'. Some posters really got a kick out of that and truly enjoyed seeing debtors in trouble.

      Another trend was to remind people that they had signed up for the credit. But hold on there, people did not sign up for these store to credit cards, OP's M&S mastercard being a prime example.

      I also have an M&S store to mastercard where the alleged debt is over Ł10k. I'm not paying the Ba$tard$. Mine got defaulted about 17 months ago so it's still early days. I had all the usual threats and lots of telephone harassment in the beginning. In February they hired Rockwell who were on the case for six months before giving up. I really enjoyed winding them up, sending them big red font letters and Santander vs. Mayhew court case. I also included 'my reference' on some letters, that being Mayhew 1, Mayhew 2 etc. I think my final one was Mayhew 3. Now it's been quiet for two months so perhaps M&S/HSBC guys are looking for another DCA?

      Once again, the OP has come to the right place. On other forums the advice may well have been to send their 'query - missing prescribed terms letter' which is not very relevant to these 'transformed' cards.

      I'm glad Paul is on the case:tinysmile_grin_t:

        The main reason this is the right place is because of the legal back-up behind the forum, which others lack. :yo:

        Most forum posters in general are not legally trained or qualified to give advise and, like myself, post from their own experience, however, there are times when you need proper legal help and advice, that's when Cel and PT come in! :first:

          Thanks for the advice today Paul. I have spoken to Weightmans today ( which I never would have had the nerve to do before I spoke with Paul) and they have agreed a 28 day extension to prepare a defence.I have e mailed the courts to inform them and also am sending a paper copy in the post. I have till 21/11/13.They told me that their client were awaiting documents from HSBC! well good luck I say. Both accounts were opened years ago.We will see what they come up with and I will post any response I get.

          Thanks again for your help
