Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
Love the site and the forum, cant wait to see what happens with my claim.
I am hopefully trying to claim on 3 accounts, 2 which have been closed (within 6 months) and 1 that is open, is it possible to claim on a closed account.
Also I sent DPA to them, they cashed processed the cheque, and I also received a credit on my account with the words "per post" has anyone else had anything like this, the per post credit was for £10.00.
Yes you can claim on closed accounts, just like an open account. Same process.
Some banks will accept it as a payment into your account, simply because they don't have a process to cash in DPA request money. basically you are getting it free.
If you haven;t already done so please read through the FAQs and familarise yourself with the whole process.

thanks for the quick response, I am currently trawling throught the info and speaking to my brother who has had a successful calim already using your forum.
i see on your signature that the prelimary sent on 22/05 and then lba on 06/06, how long did you have to wait for your statements/transactions?
As I havent seen mine yet and I am sure my money owed could be near your amount, and could do with this dosh

Bit concerned about HSBC not always complying to DPA request, so will wait and see
Also suprised that the survey shows 5 days average turn around for DPA, mine has been 13 working days so far, I am getting 3 accounts worth of data though and I will feel for the postie

I have had to chase again, as still no statements, (25/05 requested), I spoke to a lady on the standrad 08457 number and she said they had been sent to the local branch, so I questioned why I hadnt been told this on the last 3 calls, she then put me on hold said she was going to call the branch to check if they were there, and she came back and said they werent but she would send a request to the local branch to get them to print them off, and I would get a call baout it, I advised if no call by Monday I will chase again, I also advised her that I have given 40 days for them to supply or I will take this further.
I feel as though I am being messed around with HSBC, even though First Direct sent all within 5 days. it seems strange that one half of the same company works more efficiently than the other half.

I dont know what HSBC are up to, but i haven received now 3 sets of statements, and no response to 1st 14 days letter, so I am a bit unsure whether or not they are actually dealing with the request properly, the letter was sent on the 6th received on the 7th of july, so will send 2nd letter on 21st.
I have spoken to bank about mulitple statements, and they keep assuring me that they have stopped them but all they keep doing is sending them. Also advised them over the phone what I am doing and that they have until 21st to respond to my letter.
I do have proof of posting and electronic signature verified from royalmail site.
Is there anything else I can do.

i'd just sit tight and wait until you can send the lba. I had a standard response to my prelim 15 days after it was received! so sent my LBA and have heard nothing so am in the process of filing my MCOL.
sent second letter on Friday and received response today, thay have offered 70% of claim, I want to respond with I accept in part,but still want all monies. But cant find a template, is there such a thing or do I do nothing and wait for the 14 days and then do next stage.

I have checked my letter that was sent to them and it was the lba letter and they offered the 70% on this as "Full and final", is there a standard reponse, advising i accept this but want the rest within 14 days, or do I go straight to money claim.
a quick reponse would be appreciated
