Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
Hello everyone, I'm new here so please be gentle with me. I'm going to file a claim against Nationwide for £680. I'll be putting my claim in next week (after pay day!) only moneyclaim doesn't take my lousy electron card, so hubby will kindly be doing this for me.
I wish this option had been available ages ago; I was declared bankrupt in 2004, it's now discharged, but I worked out that 30% of my debt was bank and credit card charges. Oh how much easier life would have been...

i don't mean to sound like a know it all but you have done all the preliminary letter and letter before action bit haven't you? you need to do those before filing a money claim. sorry if i'm teaching my grandmother to suck eggs but i couldn't find another post from you saying wether you had done that.
Hi there. Yes I have done those, in fact I've been overly generous in the time I've allowed the bank to respond to my letters. I've had the final "we're referring your case blah blah" letter, and since they're not sticking to my timetable, the game is up for them.
Good luck with your claim!! let us know what happens
oooeee

Hi lyverbyrd
You've found a good place to get your monies sorted out. I am slightly behind you with Nationwide so will watch your thread with interest.There are people about here with lots of experience and knowledge who are happy to help.
sorry to jump in here, jonesy when calculating interest at 8% do you do it from the day the charges actually occurred i.e the day they bounced the dd or whatever, or from when they actually take the money? as you know the Nationwide actually take it 28days after the statement goes out. any ideas?
I QUESTION THEREFORE I AM!!

I used the date the charge was taken from my account not the date of the bounced DD etc.
I did too.

** Nationwide - £1821.15-PAID IN FULL - Aug 06 ** ** Halifax Mortgage -£390 - PAID IN FULL - Nov 06 ** Lloyds TSB - MCOL issued 09/03/07 - £2953 + costs - ON HOLD....
Its the day they take the charge from your account .. If they bounce a cheque on 1st of month then charge you for it on 21st of month you have not lost the money until the 21st so how can you claim for it from 1st ?

I've received my final "you're getting nothing from us" letter from Nationwide, but unfortunately, I don't yet have the £80 I need to take the case to court, so it looks like it's going to be on hold for another month....
i know its a bit of a personal question but are you on any type of benefits? working tax credit, housing benefit because if so you can put in your claim for nothing. sorry if (again!) its something you already knew.
