Thread: Havinastella V Lloyds TSB

Welcome and good luck Havinastella

Sweetpants

Hi
You can claim the whole amount back.
Good luck!
Barty

You claim back all of it.Each and every unpaid direct debit charge and overdraft excess charge.And if you check out and use the spreadsheet you can claim back interest too.

SP

Just one other thing. SURELY, Lloyds TSB know they are going to pay the claim when it goes the same way as every other one that they have paid out.

WHY are they taking every claim to court and paying the extra intrest?

There must be ONE clued up member of the solicitors office that realises they are paying back thousands more than is claimed, because they think we will stop proceedings!

Or am I just being stupid?

Alan

With the intimidating tactics they use I am sure there must be quite a few people that back off and dont see their claim through to the end.I know I have come close to giving up a couple of times and if it had not been for the great people on here giving me their advice and support I would have .Judging by some of the threads I have read so far no I dont think there is one clued up member in their solicitors.

SP

Totally agree with SP's post. The money is not their main concern, in fact its more or less immaterial. They are a multi national company with a turnover of billions, and they are still earning ten times the amount from unlawful charges each day than they are forced to pay back. Their tactics are to wear out, intimidate and bully claimants into not pursueing their claims. This means stalling wherever they can.

Maybe I'm being naive, but I think these tactics are ill-advised and short sighted. Public opinion could start to come into this soon as more people become aware of whats happening, and its surely only a matter of time before the courts do something about the banks abuses of the process.

Don't let them win!!!

Nice and quick reply

Thank you for the e-mail.

I acknowledge your request for copies of charge transactions on your account, which has been posted to our Gresham Street office.

I will confirm with a contact we have there as to whether this has been received and forwarded on to our Copy Statement Unit to be actioned.
I would like to point out that we are obliged to provide up to a maximum of 6 years account information. As you correctly state, under DPA guidelines, we are allowed up to 40 days to provide the information you have requested, but hopefully we shall be in a position to respond before then.

So, £1442 owed from Lloyds TSB.

Could someone suggest the correct Charges template, as I would hate to send the wrong one.

Many thanks

Alan

Hi
Do you mean the letter to send to ltsb? If so:

Barty

Thanks Barty, But I was thinking of the SCHEDULE OF CHARGES.

I really don't want to send the wrong one

If you are claiming statutory interest and not contractual this is the correct one. But do not show the interest calculations yet, you cannot claim this until you file the claim.

Many thanks. This is where I get confused, I thought that was the correct one, but it has the 8% charges on it.

Do I just leave those black for the time being?

Cheers

Alan

I know bit confusing, just sent your print range, such that the interest sums are not printed, you will need the interest sums later.

Sorry for the delay

I have a real dislike of this bank, they nearly ruined my life with Bank charges (up to £300 a month in some cases) which made me very ill.

After recovering and looking at my paperwork and these EXCELLENT forums, I feel I am once again strong enough to commence proceedings.

Just a quick question

What I require

I calculate that you have taken £XXXX plus a further £XXX which you have charged me in overdraft interest for the sum which you have taken. Total £XXXXX .
I enclose a schedule of the charges which I am claiming with this letter.


DO I claim all overdraft interest on the account, even if I had an agreed overdraft limit?

Many thanks

JOgs

Thats the other question!

We have online statements going back to March 2002, this account has been active since 1988. Could we S.A.R to 1988? Is there a template for this?

Also can we reclaim charges from 1988?

Many Thanks

Welcome back.

No you cannot claim all the overdraft interest the banks have charged you, only the part that relates to the bank charges. It is all a bit difficult to calculate and does not amount to much therefore I usually advise people not to claim it.

This is not to be confused with statutory interest which should be claimed.

Claim back charges for as long as you have statements for, there is a limitation argument that is complicated and we can help you with that later, as appropriate.

The normal SAR does the job, it puts no limit on how far the statements go back.

Get that claim in.
