  2. heh no worries .. Thankyou, very much for this guys, I needed a pep talk!! ONWARDS!
  3. Hi again I am "bumping" this thread instead of starting a new one (as advised) as the 14 days is now up and I'm about to start my claim through the courts. PLEASE can I ask for a few thoughts from a moderator regarding my charges and claim. As stated above, they are almost entirely charges issued in instances where I have, with a DD, gone overdrawn, without having an overdraft. In EVERY instance this has been no more than £20 overdrawn, and immediately rectified every time as I have been paid into this account every month, almost £2k per month going in the account. Natwest are arguing that these are NOT instances where the charges incurred are unfair or profiteering, as I went into an unauthorised overdraft. This one point is the only thing stopping me right now, from leaping in and getting my court action confidently underway. I have a sneaking suspicion I'm being given "carefully selected" information (rather than "lies") to deter me, but I am very, very nervous at this time that I may have simply jumped onboard a bandwagon where all the successful people who have managed their way through this impossible organisation and come out successful, have had a more legitimate claim than I do. Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated. Thanks Ph
  4. Good luck mate, many of your charges seem to be similarly brought about to mine. In that I went overdrawn when I was unauthorised due to a single DD for example. I received a similar letter but mine had no offer of half on it! I wish you luck, I hope this works out for you 404, go get em.
  5. Having read Henry's thread on the front page I must say I am now extremely unnerved by the idea of going to court. My case is based solely on instances where I have gone into an overdraft thanks to a DD being paid when it was not in the account (usually only by 2 days maximum and never once more than 20 pounds.) This would appear to be identical to Henry's case, which he lost. If any moderator would be able to assist in this area at all I would be more than happy to go to court if I had enough information to feel more confident about doing so. I can't afford £2oo court costs I know that much, but from my previous workings out, they have over £900 of mine thanks to these charges. What IS a mother to do?
  6. Good luck to you too mate and thanks. Is that correct, the statement above? Or is he being sneaky with half truths or what? Am I barking up the wrong tree by claiming returned DD charges?
  7. Update, not sure what to do next right now, but will be checking it out this afternoon. Meanwhile, new letter, in response to my Letter Before Action (above). Now. Am I out of options now, but to take it to court? Any assistance from successful claimants would be greatly appreciated as I prepare. Cheers.
  8. The latter. Thanks for your support mate.. update on the way.
  9. CONGRATULATIONS mate!! Great news, and after all your hard work you certainly derserve it.
  10. Aaaaaaaaah screw em. Letter Before Action posted today. 14 days from now we'll see what happened eh!! Any suggestions or support would be so very much appreciated. I feel like a little worm against the mighty shark here!! Although I suspect that i what they want.....
  11. Bookworm you truly are an inspiration as my saga continues! Without reading your success story today I would give up right now, having received the following letter, Dated 20th April: Dear Mr XXXXXX Thank you for your letter of April 13th 2006, although I am sorry to learn that we have given you cause for concern. John Cunnane is not in the office until next week but I wanted to acknowledge receipt of your letter in his absence and outline our outlook on bank charges. I have also noted the extent of your claim, net £965, but I haven't detacted any charges that were improperly taken because in every instance cleared covering funds weren't available by the close of business on the preceding working day. Overdrafts are not permitted on the Step account and this removes any flexibility that might be available to us when the amounts of items presented are relatively modest. We believe that our charges are fair, reasonable and transparent. We consider that the amounts debited to your account have been applied strictly in accordance with your agreement with us and our published tariff, which we are satisfied complies with all laws and regulations. We are also committed to ensuring the transparency of the information that we give to our customers about the operation of our products. Against that background, we must differ to the views expressed in your letter. You have raised a question about "manual intervention" and I want to ensure that I am responding to your meaning of this phrase. Can I please ask you to let me know precisely what is meant and I will arrange for an immediate response to be sent to you. I enclose a prepaid envelope for you to use. Thankyou again and apologies that I must ask for further information. Yours sincerely Stuart Higley Customer Relations. At this point guys I'm stuck and a little intimidated by how big this task now appears.....
  12. Sent DPA disclosure request on the 9th March, received all bank statements for the last 6 years within a week. I then (taking contact number from this site) called and spoke to John Cunnane, Customer Relations Manager, regarding the manual intervention issue, and told him I would need confirmation in writing that there was no manual intervention as i requested in my letter. He sounded as if he deals with this every day, he sounded exhausted and ready to just give up, bless him (heh heh heh), and said it would be with me very soon. I told him at that point what it was I was doing and that my second letter would be with him soon. Again he was courteous and very helpful. Having trawled through six years of statements, I worked out the money owed to be £965. I sent my second letter, the Request for Payment of Charges on 13th April, taking the template from this site, and included photocopies of the statement pages that carried the charges concerned. I sent the letter directly to John Cunnane, and started it with a thankyou for his assistance on the phone, and further to our conversaion.. I am hoping to give him the impression I'll not be letting go until this is resolved. Wish me luck as I wait for his response to my second letter.
  13. Another useful contact for the same Customer Rerlations address at Shenley Road Borehamwood, may be STUART HIGLEY. I have just received all 6 yrs worth of statements from his office, following my first letter requesting details of charges. Having picked through all statements and finding £965 in charges, I'm sending my second letter directly to him this time. Wish me luck! Hope this helps.
  14. Thanks very much, mine will be sent today, much appreciated. x
  15. What was the answer to your initial question, as I am also wanting to approach Capital One credit card? Thanks and good luck with your letter
