Yeah it is. As I have until the 18th to reply, I think I'm going to wait a week before sending the monies just in case I recieve an offer from DG. Has anybody else completed a questionnaire? What did they do? And what happened? Ta.

Cheers Sarah,

Ok, I have now recieved an allocation questionnaire as a defence to my claim has been filed. My claim has been transferred to the court covering the area where I live. I have to complete the questionnaire and return it on or before the 18/11/06 with a Court fee of 100 pounds. Is there any chance of any help of filling in this questionnaire as I don't want it to mess up at this stage? Thanks very much.

Yeah, you're right. I should have read the quote above. Do you think I should call them?

I drafted a spreadsheet of all my bank charges, saved to my hard drive and printed a copy off to DG. So it's all good here.

I faxed over my spreadsheet of the last 6 years of Bank Charges. They only have until the 31st of Oct.

Ok, an update... I recieved a letter a week ago from DG asking for my findings, which I faxed over a couple of days ago. I'm going to call them to see what they say tomorrow.

So, I have now recieved the Ack of Service copy from DG Sol via the Court. Just one question, shall I fax over my spreadsheet of Bank charges tomorrow morning to the Solicitors? Or do they contact you... They (obviously) have decided to defnd all of the claim. Thanks vey much and good luck to EVERYBODY!!!

It's funny that when you're chasing the Bank for something (albeit substantial) they're kinda slow. In fact, completely silent. SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Nonetheless I am sending the LBA letter to the same address tomorrow with my calculations of charges owed - registered post. I'll keep y'all informed.

Yeah, everything's in place and I have no hesitation in seeing this through.

congratulations. very encouraging.

Evening, I have sent the letter off by registered post this morning. Now I wait.

Cheers lads. Off by Registered Post tomorrow to Leeds. Thanks very much.

Now what address should I send my Initial letter by Registered Post to?

I am such a lazy get that it takes me ages to sort things out, but once I have the bit between my teeth I don't let go. I am ready for the bull, the stalling tactics and every pseudo psychological trick that they'll throw at me.

Nice one. Thanks mate.

Hi all, I have checked out this website and other similar websites and I have decided to pursue HSBC for 2,800 pounds for backdated Overdraft charges that they deigned to take from me since September 2000. I, like most previously just took the charges on the chin and carried on, but it now seems a groundswell is emerging and I am extremely encouraged by the success and the determination of the postees on this forum. I have tallied all the charges and inputted it in a spreadsheet via the HSBC Internet Banking site (it goes back 6 yrs). I know HSBC has battered me for charges previous to September 2000 but I have initially decided to concentrate on this 6yr term. I will be sending off a letter to their HO in Canary Wharf by Registered Post tomorrow requesting the FULL replayment of these charges and the various credit defaults to be erased from my credit profile. I will be documenting all correspondance sent and recieved. I will keep you posted as this is a very supportive site and one that should be maintained. Cheers. PB
