Hi I'm a newbie as awork mate put me onto this site, and an excellent one it is! My first claim is with the woolwich, I sent out a a data protection act letter on the 29/09/06 and I received a list of all my charges. Sent a lba today for £2700 so expect a sorry your unhappy letter soon!

I am also about to send my claim off to the woolwich for £2725. That is with the 8% interest but do I put that on the charge sheet at the initial stage or is it just if it goes to court?
Phew I didnt add my 8% lol, i suppose its just a waiting game now! I just wondered though, I am in arrears with them, I had a £500 overdraught, and I changed banks because I wasnt happy with them, I was -£490 and then the woolwich allowed aol to take out £17.99 from my debit card, which put into the red, so they then charged me a £30 fee for using my card and charged me a unathourised overdraught fee, then a month later they allowed aol to take out another £17.99 and even more charges! now when i opened up my new account i transfered my wages to be paid into my new account, and i transfered all my direct debits and standing orders but forgot about my payment to aol. now when I transfered my account I just destroy all the letters that had 'woolwich' written on the envelope, it wasnt until I got a letter from a collection agency I realsied what was going on and now they say I am -£900 in arrears, Now my question is, the £2700 I am reclaiming, will that go on the balance of -£900 or just the £500 overdraught if you get what im saying!

I presume that the £900 overdraft includes all sorts of charges and interest, if the only time you have used the account is for your monthly AOL ddm.
Have you included all these charges, and the interest that the charges have cost you, in your £2700 claim?
If you have, then yes, they will almost certainly look to clear the overdraft balance, and send the remainder to you

Right then, I got a letter from Barclays saying things along the lines of 'we are sorry you feel the bank charges are unfair blah blah terms and conditions blah blah'
but we are going to give 1000 pounds back as a good will gesture!
Now I'm not accepting a grand, I want the full amount, but what do I do next, I read through other posts of people accepting these first offers as part payments but my letter states 'in Full and final settlement of you complaint'
so if I accept this offer in part payment, will I be able to pursue the rest?
Also to claim the rest, do I send out a lba or do I phone them up?
many thanks

You may be better sending them another lba with a 7 day deadline. they may settle also it shows that you are being reasonable as you LBA deadline was a long time ago they may consider the matter closed.
Hi Scoot! Whats the latest? any progress? The 28 days to defend is up on Tues with my claim so just waiting at mo. Have you filed with MCOL yet? Its worth the being el skintos for a bit to know your getting somewhere.
