Hi all, i am just preparing my lba, my first question (didnt take long ) - i have two accounts with Natwest, my step account and my first reserve account. I have 3 charges on my first reserve account - can i group this in with my step account?.. ie.. on LBA put account numberS etc... is this ok to do???
Thanks for the advice parkvale, after a bit of searching i found my answer. My claim total is only £1092 so if i am right as long as they are in my name (which they are - not joint), and the total is under 5k i can group them. I have seperated the charges sheet but only one prelim letter. Being sent today - the 14 day countdown begins!
ok, its been 14 days and not even a reply! - I sent my letter to customer relations in borethemwood - is that the correct one? Do i now go ahead and send my lba even though a reply has not come??

Hey everyone, on weds it will be 14 days since i sent my lba. As yet i have still not heard anything from Natwest, not even the standard acknowledgement that everyone else seems to be getting . With the news that there is going to be a formal enquiry into this, are the banks holding fire till they get the result??? If i carry on though, surely they cant ignore me forever - can they????? Just a bit weary about the next step now.

can i just ask a quick question peeps - on weds the 14 days expires after lba, is it worth giving them a telephone call? I have all records of when they signed for letters etc.. but could it help?? - If so, does anyone know a number i can call them on. Thanks all in advance!

ok, i have a query about the section 69 bit. One thread says to just put total interest and then continuing till judgement, whereas the one on mcol says to state first and last days of charges??.. which one do i put?? - is last day of charge the claim day or the date of the last charge that was made against me?.. bit stuck but leaving claiming till tomorro now - too tired. :o
