Default Excessive Charges * * WON * *

Hi All,

Having just discovered this site via Martins Money Saving - I have decided to do something about the excessive charges I am constantly being given by Lloyds TSB (on an almost monthly basis for the past 6 years).

I didn't realise what my rights were and that I could do something about this until I came to this site - I have spent all afternoon reading through everything (when I should be working) - the support and information is immense, thank you!

I have just emailed my first letter to them - using the template I found in the Library here.

I will also be recommending all of these steps to my partner as he has been charged extortionate amounts by halifax for years and years - very frustrating but if he can claim his money back then...woooppeee!

Will keep you updated.

Hello,

I emailed contact.us@LloydsTSB.co.u k and marked the “subject” as Private & Confidential” as I guess it’s the best place to start. I will also be forwarding a copy to their Head Office of Complaints in Birmingham if I don’t at least get an acknowledgment within a week.

On another note, I have just realised via my online account with Lloyds that there is a search feature within the Statements section which allows you to search all “fees and charges” applied to your account from 2002 - a good place to start to get an idea of how much money they have taken from you.

Good luck,

Under the circumstances, your e-mail has been passed on to the Manager of the Complaints Unit within Customer Care. I have asked that he notes your comments and issues raised and that a response is sent to you at the earliest opportunity.

Can see it now.

due to a sudden influx of traffic in our complaints department, we are recruting any one with the ability to fob people off all day long.

Excellent - they have conceded that the charge is for a breach of contract.

The money is in the bag (no pun intended).

Received my statements yesterday - sent letter on the 8th.

Going through them today and tomorrow but after a quick scan through they seem to owe me more than I initially thought - hurrah to me!

Sorry but I think that the correct reading of this is that they did not agree to pay in excess of the amount agreed without charging for it.
