    Default Finally Taking On RBoS

    Hi all

    I got my statements from RBoS and calculated that they owe me £882.00 so my letter for claim 1 (£620.00) will be posted in the morning. Feeling a bit nervous about it but also feel I have plenty of support here if I get worried

    I'm a bit confused with my RBoS statements though. I had a Royalties Account which cost £5 per month. Each month the statement has an entry of "CHG TO DDMMM A/C XXXXXXX £5.00", but on months where I went over my overdrafticon limit it still just gave one CHG entry for a total of £25. Does this mean the amount I claim for that month is £20? Also, on months with the £25 CHG, directly underneath this entry there was a similar looking one (still "CHG TO DDMMM A/C XXXXXX" with another amount eg £5.27. I presume this is interest charged by them for going over my limit? The amount seems a bit strange for going over my limit by £10 or so for 1 day. Can anyone clarify what this charge is? I've not included it in my 1st claim. I'm trying to keep the amount under £750 so doing it in 2 stages.

    Thank you everyone in advance for being helpful and friendly. Hopefully one day I'll be able to return the favour!

    Based on my attempts to decypher my Royalties account charges, I think that your assessment of these charges is right. I had these variable charges as well, and assumed that they were interest charges on the overdrafticon.

    Good luck with your claim.

    Prelim letter sent to RBoS 8/8/06 letter passed to another department...and Tommy fob off arrived
    LBA sent 29/8/06 £2646.64 claimed - no reply
    Claim entered 26/09/06 £2716 + interest. Not acknowledged so Judgment requested 17/10/06
    Judgment in default 28/10/06
    Cheque finally arrived 24/11/06, ring Group Litigation on a daily basis - you know it makes sense...
    GE Money prelims sent for ERCs and charges on 2 accounts 18/10/06
    LBAs on 2 accounts sent 5/11/2006

    2nd claim against RBoS in 10/11/06, with threat of compounded contractual interest, c'mon now, concentrate...

    ABSOLUTELY. Just deduct the £5 charge from your monthly figure (you can usually tell where it is by the fact it will be on the same day each month)

    1/9/06 RBS claim #1
    8/11/06 - claim settled

    31/11 - Prelims issued - RBS paying up, only M/C to go)

    Wow, old Tommy McLean's reply came quicker than I anticipated. As predicted, I received my partial offer letter offering £374.00. I've been reading through the template letters and I'm a bit confused what to do next. I guess I need to write back a 'thanks, but no thanks' letter but I can't find a template for it. Also, what's the next step.

    It's all a bit nerve wracking :o , but I suppose that's the banks's intention. They'll be hoping that we all accept the partial offers and slip away quietly!

    Clint1974's post restored my faith and gave me the confidence to carry on (thanks Clint )

    Hiya

    Just write back accepting the £374 as partial settlement but say you will be going through the courts for the full amount.

    RBSicon seem to be settling a lot quicker recently so you never know!

    Thanks T4FF, that's exactly what I needed. With any luck, I'll get the same response you did!!

    I also have a 2nd claim to make on the same account. I live in Scotland so had to keep the total amount under £750 so I've split it into 2 claims. I'll be watching your thread to see how you get on with your claim on your second account. Good luck!

    Woo Hoo!!! Right on cue, a letter arrived this morning offering a full settlement . Thanks to everyone who gave me the confidence to believe this would happen!!!

    As I previously said in this post, that was round 1 with RB0S as the total amount I was claiming for was over £750. Todays letter from TMcL states, among other things, "Payment is to be made on the basis of a Full and finalicon settlement of your complaint". Does this mean if I accept this offer I am unable to start another claim? I was very specific with dates on every letter I wrote (ie, this claim is 2002-2004 and the second claim is from 2005 onwards) so I think it's a separate claim, therefore it's OK for me to accept it and start another claim.

    Does this make sense?

    I don't think it makes a difference to your further claims. Check out another thread to do with the process in Scotland and see how they've done it.
