Kensington Mortgage

[jamieprec1979]

Hi,i use to have a mortgage with Kensington and they owe me around £1000 in default charges, knowing how arkward they are when refunding these charges,would it be visable to reclaim them through the FOS?
ANY RELPYS WOULD BE HELPFUL
many thanks in advance

Hi jamieprec1979,

I too took Kensington to court over default charges, I think I was one of the first.

Anyway to cut a very long story short - I got my money back, after a year, an attempt to strike out my claim, adding their solicitors costs to my account, and them not meeting any deadlines set by the court.

I would suggest try the FSA first and see what happens - if that fails go the legal route, but be prepared for a long hard fight. I estimate Kensington spent £3000 defending a £450 claim!!!

Just one last thing, they did orginally offer settle but with confidentiality - when I said no to confidentiality it all kicked off.

Full Story here;- Yes Yes Yes **first Win From Kensington!!!!!!!!!!**

Good Luck
