Smile I won, haha First Direct

I sent the original letter to First direct and got the reply I was expecting (no, you are not having your money back), so I went to Money claim online, paid my £120 and 4 days later a letter from First direct's solicitors agreeing to pay me the whole £1300 as it would cost them loads more if they went to court, so my advice is anyone thinking about doing this is, GO FOR IT !!
(Still waiting on Halifax though I think they enjoy dragging their heels!)
