Finally got my statements through last Friday! Did a rough calculation and it works out at £768.00 so getting started on the next stage now.

Finally got a letter from the Halifax and all my statements are being sent out in the next day or so. They cashed my cheque of 10 pounds on the 16th though! So I should know by this time next week how much I'm owed!

Thanks Aaronsdad, I've dropped Kelly an email - just giving them a gentle nudge. Hopefully it's in progress. Watch this space.....

Hi, Sent my first letter (DPA request) off on the 12th of December. Got a letter back just before christmas saying that the charges were part of the terms and conditions and that they would be reviewing their charges in the future. Also included a booklet about the terms and conditions of the current account. They haven't banked my cheque yet and the 40 days (i'm assuming it's 40 working days) won't be up until feb some time. Should I just hold off until the 40 days is fully up? Thanks
