:o I'm amazed to read all of these fascinating and amazing stories! I cant believe that what the Halifax have taken off me in all of these years.....I can get back? Is this really true? For almost ten years they've been charging me £25/30 for going overdrawn...surely thats their right? If not..I'm gonna hit them "big-style"!

Yes it is completely true.

 

Check it out for yourself - we've helped over 1,000 people get well over £1,000,000 back so far.

 

If you read through the FAQs thoroughly you will understand why these charges are unlawful, and what you need to do to claim them back.

 

Good luck!

You can claim all of them (bounced items, paid items, unauthed o/d charges etc) but unfortunately you can only claim for the last 6 years worth (5 in Scotland)

Hi, So far I've actually bottled out of sending the Halifax anything. Simply because i still have an account with them. I guess I'm afraid of ermm annoying them. Sounds a bit girly I know. So as a precursor I've used the Marbles and Cahoot Cards as 'guinea pigs' to see how easy it is!

I'm in a similar position to Bubs who posted above - two accounts (one for my salary and bills and another one which has been virtually empty and unused for 18 months). There were threats mentioned in their standard letters along the lines of "if you don't operate your account properly..." but no specific mention of closing either account.

 

Halifax certainly dug their heels in and strung the whole process out more than the other organisations I claimed from.

 

Certainly was worth the wait though:)

 

A gentle word of advice - don't make the mistake I made in not claiming contractual compounded interest. I

 

It seemed too fiddly for my current account charges but I now realise that it is much more straightforward (and gloriously lucrative!) for any credit card charges.

 

Good luck with it all

Hi Bubble, I've looked at the interest option ..and it gives me headache. I'm claiming 1200pounds so i reckon the interest is worth having. I just can't work out which one? Simple/Advanced ? Contractual/Statutory ? How do i know if there is a Contractual interest? Sounds daft maybe, but the more i read the less i understand.... appreciate any guidance.

pelvicthrust, bubble,

 

I have claimed contractual interest. What I understand as the basics of it, is that the contract between us and Halifax states that if we take unauthorised borrowing they apply a certain interest rate, if authorised another rate.

 

Therefore if they take money from us (unauthorised) the same interest rates should apply to their withdrawal from our account.

 

The charging of unlawful charges is an unauthorised withdrawal.

 

With contratual interest the rate applies from the date of the withdrawal from the account. I claimed 29.8%.

 

This can make a big difference to any claim.

 

In my claim I adapted particulars from others on this site to give the court alternatives, ie 29.8% or 18.9%, or the court rate of 8%.

 

Hope this helps - Go for it :D
