Matheos v First Direct

[Matheos95]

Hi

 

Have today recieved my 6 years statements and the totally they have taken is £4464.50

 

Needless to say that I have immediatley done the first letter which will be sent off today.

 

Here's hoping and fingers crossed.

[gavcooke]

Good luck with your claim Matheos!

[Matheos95]

Well like most others recieved the letter saying they would reply back to my first request within 10 days but heard nothing so the LBA was sent on Friday as others have said TIC TOC!

You'll get it don't fret!!!!

 

First Direct are actually one of the 'good' ones

Hi Matheos,

 

I'm confident you'll get your money back and just keep with the timescales set. Everyone on these forums are very helpful and if you feel unsure just read some of the other threads to boost your confidence!

[Matheos95]

Ooooo I am reading on a daily basis find this facinating to think for so many years we have all rolled over and accepted these charges as part of our financial life - I wonder wether the banks will be so forward in publishing their profits next time they are due to atleast this time we can all take a little comfort to think that our hard earned money does not boost the bottom line:oops:

Hi Just a quick update filed money claim the other day and showing as issued on the 24th July claiming a total of £5846.28 getting really excited now as to what the outcome will be.

[hannah8686]

hiya

 

mine got acknowledged before it got issued , i got my letter on sat offering half - yours will probably show as acknowledged today and you will get a letter tommorow

 

 

i wrote back and they would have had my responce yesterday so not long now

 

£££££££££££££££££££££££££££££33333

Hi, we appear to be claiming similar amounts and my moneyclaim was issued on 17th July although I'm still waiting for them to acknowledge it. We're nearly at the finishing post .....

[hannah8686]

the lady who does it has been away since monday and is returning tommorow - i think this will mean we all get some sort of reply thur friday time..............hopefully:p

[hannah8686]

hiya - have you heard back yet - i got offered full amount today so yours shouldnt be too long now

[Matheos95]

Oh wow Hannah CONGRATULATIONS well done woooohhoooooo no I havent heard anything yet and have been watching the Money Claim website all day as I am waiting for mine to be acknowledged (although another one I raised for A&L the same day has been acknowledged).

 

Going on your timescales I dont expect to hear anything until at least the weekend if not early next week but I will let you know if it changes.

 

Again well done what a great result hehehe enjoy your First Direct 6 year savings plan LOL:D

Hi, it does seem a bit worrying as reading through some of the threads there are claims that were submitted after ours and they've been acknowledged. FD appear to be dragging their heels on the larger claims - they obviously want to hold on to our money even longer!

[tina_cool]

I'm getting a bit edgy too as just checked the moneyclaim website and my claim is still only showing as issued and the date of that was 19th July. Oh heck...hope I'm not going to be the test case.

[Matheos95]

Hi Tina Cool

 

No there seems to be a little batch of us all waiting for the same thing to happen and as hannah had said in one of her posts the other day the woman who delas with these was out of the office for a few days which would set us slightly back.

 

Anycase if the do go to court (which is highly doubtful) then like i said there is a few of us all at same stage so we could all do lunch lol.

 

Im eagerly refreshing the moneyclaim website in hope of a change but doubt it today.

 

Keep u posted

[Matheos95]

Sorry Tina curious if not a rude question but what sort of amount are u claiming? as me an summer are close in amounts and both over £5k just wonder if yours is falling into the same bracket?

[tina_cool]

Hi there - have just checked again and claim still not showing as acknowleged - it's for £2427.23 which includes the 8% interest and solicitors costs. Hope we hear something soon.

[Summer]

Hi, just to say they've not acknowledged my claim yet either and I keep hoping everytime I log into Moneyclaim that it will have changed. Their time is running out quickly so I would expect some sort of reply within the next few days or I'll have to enter Judgement by Default.

 

Or are we the cases that will go to court? Looking forward to the outcome in the next few days

This is just the position I am in too, we have to hang in there and just hope that it being the holiday season, that things will run a little slower than usual. Unless, they are selecting a few to make examples of:confused: Cannot see that they would do that as a presedent has already been set by them paying up before. Just sit tight, not easy but others have been through the same and got the money they were owed.

Hi Matheos,

I think FD are going to hold out until the last minute on our claims. I thought that by sending them a hard copy of the Moneyclaim form and another copy of the schedule charges being claimed for that it might speed things up but obviously not:mad:

 

Anyway, I suppose we can look at it that the interest is just increasing day by day:p

[DannyMidgley]

I have just sent my online claim via hmcs and reading the above threads has given me something to look forward to. Good luck everybody. Regards

Danny

[Matheos95]

Good luck with your claim Danny welcome to the Moneyclaim watchers club lol.

 

Yeah Summer I suppose that is the case re the interest - although I really wish they acknowledge your claim asap would still be interetsing to see what happens when you get the judgement by default and if you havent heard by Saturday morning (although I think this highly unlikely) I will so eagerly be watching the threads through Sunday lol

[Summer]

I'm hoping for an acknowledgement early Friday morning as we're going away for a couple of days and I won't be able to check online again until the Sunday evening. I'll let you know as soon as I do and hope you hear something soon too.

[Matheos95]

Thank you Summer - got fingures crossed for both of us - have a great fews days if i dont speak to you before

[Summer]

Hi Matheos, has there been an update yet on moneyclaim for you?

 

I'm getting more anxious/nervous/excited as the days go by and have just had to increase my overdraft this month by another £250 (from having paid for the court costs).

 

I keep reading other threads to see whose claims have been acknowledged.
