Well i finally did it!! Managed to complete my calculations on spreadsheet. Dont know how i did it but i did........ Letter ready to post as we speak so heres hoping for a happy outcome!!!!

I overwrote each one individually but when i try to calculate it brings up larger amounts ie: too many days add up so gives me a false amount of interest. Im tearing my hair out! Thought i was getting there but this has got me stumped.......

Please can anyone help me with doing spreadsheets??? I've entered all data but now dont know how to calculate the days since and interest rate 8%.Im pretty useless at this and im getting so frustrated now as i want to get next stage letter sent off to my bank.... Please help!!!!!

well i managed to download excel spreadsheet! Dont know how i did it tho?? Im slowly getting there and i have added all my charges date and amount but now i dont know how to total up the the amount of days to obtain interest amount. Is there something i should be doing because i cant add up all the days from last 6 years! Would take me forever....... Eternally grateful for any advice given;)

Thanks for that i am just in process of downloading it now. I will let you know how i get on. Dont think i'll sleep til i've sorted it cos i plan on posting next stage letter and everything tomorrow!!!

Thanks for your swift reply. I seem to have a problem accessing the spreadsheets. When i try to download it just comes up with FILext. Is that right or am i being dumb again....... Cheers Trace36

hello everyone, I today received all my bank statements i requested from halifax. Sat down tonight and highlighted all charges from last 6 years. WOW it amounted to £2472! I was most surprised at what they have taken over years..... My only problem is i dont understand how to retreive the spreadsheet to do calculations.Can anyone advise the easiest way to do this as im not very good at these things.Dont know what the spreadsheet even looks like?? Also how to i calculate the interest?? Am i a bit dumb or what! Finding all this very mind boggling...... Appreciate any advice given. x x Trace36

Hi Julie, What a small world it is. Good luck with your letter. Hope it didnt take you too long to type out!! Let me know how you get on.... Cheers Trace.

Hi Becky, Good luck with your claim. Im just starting but remain hopeful! Keep informed Trace

Hi Julie, You need to send a letter asking for last 6 years of statements.You will find a template of letter needed in the library section. Lookfor (dpa) letter. I have just done this today and sent it off so fingers crossed. Good luck Trace

Its sickening isn't it that they can charge amounts like that and get away with it. Well not for much longer if we have our way eh? Good luck..... Trace

Hi Luke, You can claim back 6 years,so you should be in luck. I have only just started and have just sent off letter asking for last 6 years of statements... Good luck! Trace
