Well, the latest so far is...

Friday 13th April, I still haven't heard anything so i called the bank. They say they have not recieved the letter yet. (2nd mistake, i sent it to my branch, not the address supplied on this site!!).

I don't know why, but because of the bank holidays that have just passed, I thought i'd give them until today (16th April). They said they still haven't recieved anything.

I was annoyed, so i asked them to also send me statements for an Acc i used to use. (found a few statements and counted £340 worth of charges on them.) She said she'll put a note on my acc. Told her the £10 cheque i posted with the letter will cover both accounts.

Because I didn't send it recored delivery, can they deny they ever received my letter? Should i cancel my original cheque and send another letter and cheque out for both accounts? How much longer should i wait?

I'm really annoyed with myself for not sending this recorded delivery.

While i'm waiting for my statements to arrive, I decided to take alook at my statments online.

I may have missed a few, or counted some twice (I'm currently in the middle of a night shift....very tired ) and I could only go back as far as 8th April 2005.

BUT..

So far i have got to a grand total of £964 worth of charges!! I don't think this includes the couple of charges they made this month.....after they refused my application for an overdraft extension!

With each statement i opened I found myself WANTING charges!!

Wow, I can't wait now, as we are really hardup for cash at the moment....I went and got blummin married last month, and still trying to recover!

Hi,

Sent my DPA letter on 4th April with cheque for £10 enclosed (not recorded delivery....hopefully my 1st and last mistake!)

Have spent the 2 days since, reading other peoples threads and the FAQ.

I heard about being able to claim your charges back a while ago, but thought it would not be possible. Then someone told me about this site and after reading alot of the other threads I now feel confident and ready to take them on.

It's great that so many people are willing to offer help and advise.

So even if nobody replies to this thread, thanks to everyone else who's replied to others!

Hello,

I've just been told about this site and have printed off the 1st letter ready to send. (do you enclose cash or cheque?)

I will now spend the next few days reading through as many posts as i can.

I bank with Halifax, so i'm off to find that forum. Presume all the advise I need will be there, but any more will be welcome here

Thanks
