Thread: deedee1310 v Halifax Plc

Hello all!

I have started my own thread as I am sending off my SAR today. Have had to do so as I am missing 3 statements (really annoying)!!

Even without the 3 statements, have worked out that they owe me £3751 for charges and about £91 for interest. I am using the complex spreadsheet found in the library.

However, I'm not sure if it has calculated the interest correctly. If I can send this to anyone to have a look, I will be most grateful.

Anyway wish me luck

Hi moneyhelp.

Thanks for your reply. I should have made myself clearer!

I meant the interest that they have charged on the overdrawn balance at the time. Although I have an authorised overdraft, some of the interest that they have charged has been due to my balance being over the authorised limit as a result of the charges that they have charged. I'm using the advanced excel spreadsheet.

If you are familiar with it, I'd appreciate some help!

May battle commence. Have just sent by S.A.R - (Subject access request) by Recorded Delivery. Will await with bated breath!

yep I have to agree with moneyhelp. Ignore the fob off letters and you'll do just fine.

we are all here for help and support so anything you need help with just shout!!

Good Luck xxxx

Thanks guys. This is why I think this site rocks!

I have only been a member for three days now but I have learnt so much and read so much (have had a bad headache for 2/3 days due to intake of info ).

I'm actually quite excited at the prospect of becoming a vexatious litigant as opposed to being a vexatious defendant .

Could really use the money, as I am currently unemployed and am trying to finish University. It was the subject of my dissertation (on debt and it's growth BTW), that made me stumble (quite literally) upon this site.

I am spreading the CAG gospel to all and sundry. To quote Michael (Jackson - apologies to any fans) "I am not alone, you are here for ME!"

I fully intend to ignore the fob off letters. BTW can anyone check my spreadsheet for me please if I PM you? I am using the Advanced Excel one. I am quite good at Excel but the IF statements (which are hidden) that aids with the calculation of debit interest (not CI - see fast learner), I'm not sure if the figures they are returning are correct. I have an authorised limit (£750) but I don't think it's interest free. Do I enter this into the "Interest Free overdraft" column?

To be honest I wasn't that bothered about the calculation with my Abbey claim. Maybe I should have had it checked before sending it off

Anyway thanks again to all. Watch this space................

Hi guys.

I decided not to wait for my SAR to come through as I was missing only three statements, one of which that had no transactions on it.

I sent my Preliminary Letter off yesterday. I am claiming Contractual interest at 29.8%. Yes - I have read all the arguments for and against this, however the saying is "nothing ventured nothing gained."

My problem is this. I was looking over my spreadsheet again today and realise that it is missing £30 (not all the formulas were applied correctly when I was removing rows).

Should I send the correct shedule with my lba and mention the revision in the letter? :-?

Please advise.

Thanks guys.

hi deedee not quite sure on that but as you can add charges right up until you file at court i dont see that 30.00 will make much difference but im sure someone will put you right if im not

Thanks Tilly.

I've become really good at helping everyone else but I'm worried about to how to answer my own queries. :o

Never mind. I will send the revised schedule with my lba in two weeks time.

deedee

im sure that will be fine deedee and i no what you mean about answering your own questions

Thanks guys.

You're right about needing reassurance. I've just spent this week helping Coxey http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk...pital-one.html with her spreadsheet problem but am too anxious to figure out my own simple problem

Lol - what a funny old world we live in.

BTW does anyone know any threads I can read with regards to successful Halifax claims with Contractual interest? I've looked but can't find any. Maybe I'm missing something?

Thanks Moneyhelp!

I read Mindzai & Lucid's thread from start to finish on Thursday. What an incredible account. However Have also read the "Why is no-one claiming CI" thread too!

I'm looking for Halifax CI successes. I'm currently trawling through the sticky at the top of the Halifax forum.
Wish me luck

There was recently a precedent case for contractual interest (which i think was against halifax) and the CAG claimant lost. I dont think we have much prospect of successfully claiming contractual now.

I think I read that one too. It went to the High Court apparently, which means it sets a precedent for the lower courts

However I will put three amounts on my POC should it come to it

1. interest at unauthorised rate
2. interest at authorised rate
3. interest at Statutory rate

and leave it to the judge to decide. Mindzai & Lucid did the same and were paid CI by Lloyds without them actually appearing in court.

I am not holding out for CI but you don't know until you try.

Thank you for the heads up. BTW do you have the link for that case? I haven't book marked it

You are taking the correct approach - you never know it may slip through the net at the unauthorised rate.
