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.

This will give other users an at-a-glance guide to other cases that have been won and may just give them that extra little bit of confidence needed to pursue BOS or RBOS themselves.

I have "WON"
I'm sorry about putting this in the wrong place but tried to put the details of my claim on the successful thread but obviously did it wrong. I don't know how to do it, so could you do it for me, Thank-you.
Could you add "won at lba with contractual interest"
thanks!

RBS BF Account S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) sent 4/11, part response rec'd 28/11, further info sent 3/12 awaiting statements at 20/12, Sent LBA 19/01/07. Received all statements resulting in 3 claims, £1,278, £4,279 and £7,250(!) all with contractual interest.
I posted a note yesterday, however, think wrong place.
i have just been successful in pursing RBS and they have said they will refund all my personal charges, approx £3580. I am waiting to here about my business charges.
I only applied for a refund on my excess charges and didn't look at any interest, this just seemed to hard.

I am in the process of claiming the interest from a loan they used to pay off charges. This RBoS loan was at a very high Apr rate from a department within there organisation after they refused me a loan at there normal rate of interest. They stung me very badly indeed. Tommy Maclean has passed my claim onto someone called Patrick Burke who is going to deal with it because Tommy says he is only dealing with peoples bank charges. I will try and keep you updated.

Hi, Patrick Burke who Tommy Maclean is his manager is looking into my claim. can you believe that i have in my possession three signed copies of loans from RBoS which show different amounts of loans over one thousand pounds which i know did not have and another which shows on a bank statement which was used to pay of the bank charges. All these loans are signed between the 2-06-2003 and 6-06-2003. With one of these loans one of there staff members came to my place of work to sign it. If thats not harrassment in getting me to sign for this loan then i don't no what is.
Have you ever had anyone come to your place of work or know anyone who has?
Have you ever known a bank to give anyone four loans between the times i have shown you above?
At the same time as claiming back the interest for the loan that was used to pay off charges which i have proof on a statement i am also asking them to look into the loans issue as fraud could be going on here.
On one piece of A4 paper it shows that i had a loan of £3400 and the total amount to pay back is nearly £7000. is that normal for me to pay back nearly £3500 or more in interest. I would expect that from provident but not a bank.
I will keep you updated of my progress and what Patrick Burke has to say after he has investigated.
Cheers for your reply and good luck with yours.
I am due in court this Thursday but have been told by various helpers on this site that it is doubtful that it will actually get to us having to attend due to hopefully settlement beforehand. I am preparing my court bundle just in case, but need to know if I get an offer prior to Thursday should I still attend? [dodgy.. as money won't be in my account] If they make me an offer on the steps of the court buildings 10 minutes before hearing do I accept or continue with going before the Judge? HELP!
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!
I've received an offer in the post today for the full amount of my claim over £2500 (no interest)
I was giving them a few days over my deadline and was going to to start MCOL next Monday, but I don't need to now.
Request for statements - 16th Dec 06
!st letter - 2nd Jan 07 lba 7 day deadline - 18th Jan 07
LBA extending deadline by 7 days -27th Jan 07
Full offer received today!!!! 7th Feb 07
Anyone else having trouble posting on the survey of total successful claims (on the opening page of the site)?.
There are no banks listed in the drop down menu of the bank, so details of refund cannot be entered.:-?
8 weeks agoe, i sent off letter number 1 requesting all my statements from 2000 to 2006. They promptly sent them to me. 2 weeks ago, I sent a letter off to my local royal bank branch requesting £4,800 which had been applied to my account. I advised them that if they settled now, I would not pursue interest charges. The above charges were applied to my account over the last 6 years, whilst we were impossibly trying to live off one wage. The bank caused my near demise and also vast mental pressure, stopped me wanting to sleep and tape up th eletter box. This morning I have received a letter from the bank advising that although they believe their charges are fair, as a gesture of goodwill, they will pay the full amount of £4,800. I feel so happy.
I want to thank this website, martins money saving expert and all you people out there who have helped me with your kind advice aiding me and probably thousands of others, in the stance against a banking attitude that is crippling people normal folk on average incomes.

just wanted to let people know that it is possible
a BIG thank you to this website and all the people for all ther advice, thanks
Bank: RBS
Amount Claimed: £2,842
Amount offered: £2,412
The Story: Sent first letter off claiming back charges 6th Feb, heard nothing so sent 2nd letter saying that i would take it to court if I did not hear from the 22nd Feb and the next day I recieved a written offer of £2,412. Theconditions are - "Any charges that properly accrue in the future will be applied to your account in line with our published tarrif....should you be unwilling to accept any such charges, then we may need to consider if we are prepared to continue to provide you with your existing banking facilities. Instead we can offer you a simple account that does not offer borrowing facilities or other services that can result in charges". Shall I accept this offer but not their terms? Does anyone have a template letter I can send that says this in a more legal matter?
I am happy with the offer even though it is not for the full amount as it was very easy to do and I would encourage everyone to claim back their charges.
