Longman VS Cahoot

Ollie1982 · 1st March 2006, 10:29

Ive now sent my initial letter to Abbey National Cahoot, im slightly wary as to what their response will be, as they have always been quite sharp with me in the past, stating its my responsibility to maintain my account and that they have every right to charge me Â£30 for going Â£0.73 over my limit, due to interest they have added!

Has to be close to Â£1000 they have charged me over the years, but im not forking out Â£5 PER MONTH for a paper statement, so ive guesstimated the amount. Fingers crossed

Why haven't you sent a Data Protection Act request. Haven't you read the FAQs??

Hi Ollie, don't worry. They sent me all my statements without charge. I am claiming a similar amount and should be resolved by the end of this month (Hanson v Cahoot), so hopefully should give a good indication of how they will play it.
Good luck!

Court proceedings started.
slightly unsure whats gonna happen and a little nervous

I can understand the nerves Ollie, I had them when I had to sue the Abbey.
Just be positive and remember that its your money that you are getting back, that they didnt have the right to take in the first place - as in if their charges were fair and honestly reflected their costs, then they can have the money but instead they expect us to believe it costs them 32 quid to bounce a direct debit...

oh dear I am ranting.

Sorry.

I have to clear a credit card so that I can take Cahoot to court for the 400 quid they have taken from me for choosing to pay by standing order rather than direct debit....

Cahoot have offered me a 580.00 out of court settlement! im very happy with this.

Thanks to bankaction group for making this possible

How long i wonder will it take for them to cough up?
