My first advice is that you should discover the paragraph return key on your keyboard and also try using some punctuation and new sentences.
It's not a joke.
We work very hard here and your question as posted was nearly impossible to read, took a long time to do so and discourages any effort or goodwill on the part of others.
Secondly if you take the trouble to read some of the other posts on this YB forum, you will find that exactly your scenario has been played out several time before and that the suggested course of action has already been explained.
Please don't pm me about specific questions unless you have posted and it has not been dealt with or unless the matter is confidential. Please include a link to the post you want me to look at. If you have received a defence, contact me.

When the Liberals and Conservatives were in opposition they both agreed that banks should pay back high bank charges to customers.

Thanks Caro, very interesting I am hoping that the recent judgement by Judge Cooke will not influence any other Judges.
I am also doing my sons partner's reclaim of charges, still waiting for 12 months statements, the 40 days is up on 26th May, so far the charges come to around £3000 excluding interest and i am sure there will be about another £1000 on top of that, as they really struggled when the children were born she banks with TSB.
Her's will also be at Oldham county court as I am sure TSB will not pay out, they are filled with false confidence at the moment
I am going to look on the site about claiming PPI back, as I recently found out that she had been paying the Select account fee for the past 6 years, currently £7 per month, she was unaware of this and had never requested the account (trying at the moment to get back the 6 years from TSB).
A recent letter from TSB said that she agreed to this when she was granted a loan in April 2001, she cannot recall being told about the select account and is pretty sure she did not sign for it, she said she was forced to take out a PPI wich was over £700 on a £5000 loan.
I would just like to thank everyone who works on this site, you really have given people inspiration and confidence, i could not have got this far without this site, there is still along way to go but all the information is here and I will see the cases through to the end win or lose.
You'll win. You are forgetting the Lloyds case was the first they have won, and I understand is to be appealed as there were some questionable issues with the case. There have been thousands of others that have been settled and there is no reason that yours won't be a winner.
I too am starting a claim for my husband against Lloyds TSB, and have a thread in that forum, where I'm sure you would find more specific advice and support on that claim if you start a thread there. There is also a PPI forum.

Has any one else had any problems trying to access MCOL once you have lodged a claim.
I have been trying for nearly 2 hours to get back in to see any progress and it is very slow on log in then it says page not found, I have now been locked out for 2 hours, I am entering the right details but can' seem to access the claim.
Managed to get back into MCOL it must be a very busy site, the claim was issued 31st May & Acknowledged 5th June, they have 28 days now.
Today received a gesture of goodwill offer from Solicitor in Leeds for £200, going to reject the offer as charges are £527 plus interest and £80 court costs so far which equates to over £700.
Just another big thank you for all the people who run this site.
Just seeking clarification on how long YB have to file their defence, the MCOL claim was issued 31st May (deemed served 5th June) YB acknowledged 5th June, is the 28 days from the 31st May or 5th June.

Getting there thanks cf, although moving out of the house for 3 months tomorrow. Still lots of much needed nice new furniture etc to look forward to at the expense of the insurance company, so can't all be bad. Trouble is no phone, so no internet for about 5 days!!
