Just answered that on your thread i think,LOL.Although they did state in their letter an amount that is slightly higher than i thought, so it might be in there already. I'll have to do some math to find out for sure.
I'm not sure on tackling them twice. But i will deff start a claim with my credit card soon.

This is for an unauthorised overdraft fee of GBP 30.00, unauthorised overdraft interest charge of GBP 0.08 and authorised overdraft interest charge of GBP 2.99.

A little letter again methinks - you have just settled in full, if you want me to start over again I will, now please reverse that transaction and do not do it again.

Zx

.... now about that drink.... surely you can't be on nights on a Saturday...

... a VERY BIG WELL DONE!!

Thank you zubo!!!!

And yes, unfortunately i am on nights until Tues morning!Grrrr!
But hey, that celebration drink is something i can look forward to for next week then
Although, i think i wait with the celebrations until i have actually received that cheque and it's cleared.
Did send them an email yesterday asking where i had exceeded my limit in the last statement period.

I've been really careful this month , moneywise, and i know for a fact (and my printed out statement confirms that), that i haven't exceeded my limit and i just don't know where they got it from????
Wait and see what they say. If they don't cancel it, i will write them a nice little letter like you advised.

Hi Jelllybabe - well done, just about to screw Cahoot to the wall myslef I'll only be doing it once they accept my recorded delivery letters however! I sent my Data Protection Act request on the 14th March and it's not showing as being signed for by anyone via the royal mail website, did you have any probelms and which address did you send things to?

Thx V Much

Hiya,Thnaks!
I did send all my letters to the Friars House, Coventry adress. But after i filed my claim everything changed to the Abbey National Adress in London.
If you sent it recorded i would imagine it got there. You could always ring Royal Mail and ask them just in case. Just stick to your timescale. but be prepared to wait, they have been dragging mine out to the last minute!
I started mine middle last year.
Good Luck!
Let us know how you get on and if you have questions....ask.....and i TRY to help.

Thx V Much Jellybabe, that's the address I sent the letter to but no sign of where the bugger has gone Trying to chase up with the Royal Mail now even though their online tracker claims it's not delivered yet.

The Goldfish request has arrived however so at least I'm on my way with that one

Cheers again!
