    Question Closed account

    I have read all the FAQ's and I know the statute of limitationsicon is 6 years but if the account in question is closed, does the 6 years start from the date of closure or is that too much to expect! When I claimed from the RBSicon I only calculated charges for 3 years from 2003 when I closed the account. Was I right?

    Six years from the date of the charge.

    Question Re: Closed account

    Thanks for that! But just to be clear (and sorry if I'm being dim), do you mean I can go back to 1997 - 6 yearsicon from closure of account?

    Smile Speedy response from RBS

    I sent my preliminary letter to RBSicon re charges on my closed account on 3rd April and received a phone message this morning saying they had received the letter and would be in touch in 5 working days! So far so good!

    I received a response fairly quickly to my first letter aswell. But unless your asking for a smallish refund, then the next letter you get will be "get stuffed"!!

    Unhappy Re: Speedy response from RBS

    I've now had a letter from Allison Dingwall, Customer Care Team Agent! They can't find my account! I have checked and re-checked and I did give them the right account no. and correct branch. Not very confidence-inspiring is it?

    Perhaps a phonecall in order - but don't let them push back the 14-day deadline.

    I only got letter responses some time in to starting legal action. Speaks volumes IMHO.

    Unhappy Re: Speedy response from RBS

    Phoned Alison Dingwall this morning as Alan suggested. Confirmed my account no., gave her the branch sort code and told her it had been a Royalties account and when I closed it. She still cannot find the account and I'm wondering if it was ever closed properly and is now in banking limbo!

    Smile Re: Speedy response from RBS

    I was too quick off the blocks then! She has just phoned me to say she couldn't access the account because it was closed too long ago. She has had to order the statements and expects them early next week. She will speak to me again on Tues or Wed - that's actually the first 14-day deadline!

    If they do leave it until the very last day to respond by phone then don't give them more than a couple of days to put it in writing - and remind them at the time that they are actually on the deadline.

    Question Re: Speedy response from RBS

    I've just realised that Easter is in that period so presumably that gives them another couple of days grace. Also, do you count 14 days from the date of your letter or the date they are presumed to have received it?

    They apply interesticon at weekends and Bank holidaysicon - therefore why should we suspend action on those days?

    I'd allow them some more time (not too much). Statements are only produced once a week I believe so it may take a few days longer for her to get your details back.
    What she says is true that if its been closed over a certain time ago (more than a year i think) then it won't appear anywhere on system. Give it at least til this time next week I'd say.
    Good luck

    (Yes I work for a bank but am here to help! Please be nice to me! )

    I wouldn't wait - they will have had 14 days. I am sure that they won't be closing their call centre over the holidayicon. That means they will be ringing people up demanding that they get paid - so why shouldn't we write to them demanding that they pay up?

    It is up to you - but I would get the lbaicon sent.
