Hello there.... I was wondering if you could help me out with my
Abbey
Claim... I've followed all of your steps and Im now up to filling in the allocation questionnaire... I was wondering if you had any suggestions in filling out section G for 'other information'.
I am claiming £1150 and have stopped using the abbey account because the charges were snowballing so I couldnt afford to live on the money I had left over from tax credits and child benefit. I was advised from one of your moderators to use a different bank account which ive done and everythings fine. but since filing the claim with the court theyve charged me an extra £300 in additional unpaid direct debits and exceeding
overdraft
limits etc and are now adding interest on a daily basis. I spoke to the court and they said I cant change the claim amount to add on the £300+ because the notice has been served. Is this right??? They said to start a new claim.
I also spoke to abbey and explained the account was in dispute and asked why they cant freeze it until its resolved, but they wont and said they wont stop trying to reclaim the money they say I owe them....
Im getting worried now that Im still going to owe them more money once the claim is settled... Can I request the reclaimed money in the form of a cheque. Just so I can pay them back the original claim, until I sort the additional charges out.
Does this make sense??
Hope you can advise me... I really appreciate any help...
Many thanks...
