£38 for an unpaid item!! - the item was only £21.03 !!!

Good Luck! The same has happened to my 18 year old daughter, she's got approx £400+ charges and she can't get it into her head why the Halifax have done this to her, she thought they were there to help her!! Bless.. I've protected her too much I think.... needless to say I'm starting on her account now I've sorted mine with RBS... Stick with it winning is a lovely feeling!

Nightmare! RBS seem to pay out the lesser amounts before MCOL stage, but things are changing all the time, read up on a few threads to get a feel for it. I was paid out after a court date of 30 May was set! But mine was for £3k. Took from October to yesterday all in all.

hmm... what to do, what to do..?

i dont suppose theres any point in worrying, what will be, will be.

HOWEVER

its nice to know that all these years that I have been tellinh my mum that the bank are [causing problems] me (i'm referring to the £2k that i'm claiming back from barclays) and she just said that it wasnt the bank, it was the fact that i was just crappy with money...

I WAS RIGHT !!!! HA HA HA IN YOUR FACE MUM !!!

no, seriously though, it just gets you thinking - how many charges has my mum encountered without even thinking to question it? *shudder* doesnt bear thinking about

hmm.. looks like im going to have to start claim #2 with RBS.... since my original claim only included charges up to 22nd feb, and since that date, theyve charged me another £45.78...its only a small amount, but hey, its the principal of things! do you guys think that I should wait until I have the settlement money in my account before I start #2 or should I send my prelim letter now anyway...

Wait, yes. Once it's been paid, it might be worth your while sending a simple letter to them requesting refund the 45 quid given that you have succesfully claimed x amount and that it would be in everyone's interest (time and money) for them to refund this rather than go through the whole process again.

 

Might get resolved a lot quicker that way.

Did you include a full spreadsheet of charges with this, or did you just send a total and request that?

IMO, you should either ring them or do what I said in #15.

The ONLY trouble with ringing is you have nothing written down. That said, it could be resolved far quicker....

It's worth a shot though - if you don't get any luck with a call, then you could go ahead with the letter.

 

Well I sent a prelim, but my second claim was on a seperate account. Since then I have seen others renegotiate their final offer, send letters, make phonecalls.

 

For speed, I would try the phonecall first, if not a prelim or simple letter will do. In reality I guess it doesn't really matter which way you do it - you will get it back eventually!

Request for repayment of charges

 

Dear Sir,

 

ACCOUNT NUMBER: XXXXXXXX

SORT CODE: XXXXXX

My request

I am writing to ask you to refund to me the charges which you have levied from my account over the last month. Since the 22nd February 2007, a further £45.78 has been levied from my account.

I will draw your attention to the fact that I have already successfully claimed back charges levied from my account up to the 22nd February 2007.

 

 

What I require

I calculate that you have taken £45.78.

I require repayment of these charges, unconditionally within 14 days of this letter.

I enclose a schedule of the charges which I am claiming with this letter.

 

 

 

 

My targets to resolve this matter

I hope that you will enter into a sincere dialogue with me about this matter and I am writing this letter to you on the assumption that you will prefer to do this than merely respond with standard letters and leaflets.

 

I will give you 14 days to reply to me accepting, unconditionally, my request and letting me know a date by which I will receive payment.

 

If you do not respond, or you do not respond positively, within this time period, I shall send you a letter before action giving you a further 14 days in which to reflect. I believe that these targets are more than sufficient for a large company such as yours with dedicated staff and departments.

 

After that, there will be no further communication from me and I shall issue a claim at the expiry of the second deadline.

 

yf,

anybody with any suggestions - they would be gratefully received...
