Halifax Bank charges - I WON!!!

[silentsilas]

I complained with all the letters to my bank regarding the bank charges applied to my account.

 

They had charged me a total of £800. The bank offered me £200. I accepted this, but then a few months later, they charged me £35.00, I blew steam. So I sent my letters yet again, requesting that they refund the £600 plus £35.00 of bank charges applied to my account.

 

I thought by accepted £200, they wouldnt do anything stupid, but when they decided to put on another charge, I asked for the remainder of my charges to be paid back.........and guess what happened.......they paid the full whack and sent a sorry letter.

 

In total I was £835.00 in pocket....did the same to Woolwich, and received a further £1900.

 

Thanks for the letters, it sure came in handy.

Congratulations! Can I ask how you managed to convince them to pay out as all claims (including mine!) seem to be on hold due pending the test case ruling next year.

 

Well done, you!

Congrats!!!!

Same question from me....

How did you do it, when did you start, etc.?

Hi all, I put my claim in months before the test case started. So at that time, the banks were a little confused and were refunding monies by the minute.

 

Now that there is a test case, once this has been heard then all that have put a claim in, their case will be assessed. I have been told that it will be some time until you will hear about your claim.

Just wanted to add my Congratulations.

 

Im green with envy, (only joking), Im waiting to go to Court cause the bank are requesting a set aside , even though it went before the bailiffs.

 

Lucky old you. Enjoy the money and if you have any to spare dont forget to donate to this site.
