Well, I am going to bite the bullet and go for some old charges to our Halifax Mortgage.

 

Got my statements today and there are £400 of charges from 2001/2002 - these are for Missed Payment fees of £20 and Arrears Admin fee of £25. Now as they kindly sent me a list of the abbreviations, I can see that they were all computer generated and not manually input.

 

There are other charges on my account marked 'Sundry', but I don't know what they are, so for the moment I am going to leave them well alone...I suspect that the Halifax may put up a bit of a fight on this anyway.

 

Preliminary letter going out tomorrow. Will keep you updated.

Hi Dolly

I also received reams of paperwork re my mortgage arrears with the Halifax this morning.

Unfortunately I cant make head or tail of them.

Could you possibly send me a copy of the abreviations that you got?

Also are the charges all more all less stated on the back page of each years statements?

I really would appreciate any help you can give.

Thanks

Pam

Be careful with these as I got duplicates, so, for example 19/03/02 charge would be on two sheets of paper and it wasn't until I was typing them out that I noticed this.

 

They are quite easy to spot - look for wording on the remarks on the statement style pages (borrowers Account Record) that say 'Matched k' - this is a returned payment and somewhere around there will be Arrears Admin Charge and Missed Payment Fee. They are easy to see as Matched K is shorter than the rest of the remarks so it stands out a bit

 

The abbreviations don't mean anything really, just show that it was computer generated.

 

Hope that helps :)

Sorry to rain on your parade Dolly but this just isn't true. Abbreviations do not equal Computer Generated.

 

Good luck with your claim.

Sorry, perhaps abbreviation was the wrong word.

 

The Halifax sent me a list of 'Payment Notations' and on that list it states if something is Computer Posted or Manually Posted.

 

eg) DDR1 is Computer Posted. DDR is Manually posted.

 

So the charges that I incurred, according to the Borrowers Account Report that I received are all Computer generated / automated according to their own annotation system.

 

Are you a bank worker, Jonnno? It seems weird that the two posts you have chosen to answer on the day that you joined are both about mortgages.

I posted my SAR letter to Halifax just this week, so I will be watching your progress as you are ahead of me here. I had a mortgage with them up until 2004 and have been charged numerous times.

iGroup (GE Money) - AoS Filed late, defence late, amended defence also late despite extra time requested and granted.

Vanquis - Claim issued, no AoS or Defence received

Yes and both were quite harsh, sort of implying that we didn't know what we were doing - or maybe Jonno just hasn't read all the mortgage threads.

Consumer Health Forums - where you can discuss any health or relationship matters.

Dolly & Gizmo, I'm sorry if you felt my posts were harsh. I just call 'em as I see 'em. Call me a nitpicker if you like but I can't help pointing out when people post stuff as fact when it ain't.

 

Now if Dolly had given all the details initially that she gave in her last post then I wouldn't have chipped in at all. If HBOS are charging mega bucks just for comp generated corres then fair enough, have a pop at them.

 

You'll note I did wish Dolly luck with her claim, and I wasn't being ironic.

Quick Update : Received standard go away letter from the Halifax this morning.

 

There was a line I found interesting : "The amount of the transaction does not affect the cost we incur so the charge remains constant' I actually had to read that a few times!

 

LBA going off on Monday.

No responses at all to my LBA, MCOL being issued next week for £390 plus interest which puts it to around £600.

Thanks all - must admit I was a bit surprised myself when I opened the letter. What I saw first was the ombudsman leaflet, thought 'aaahh well', opened it up and saw a cheque and acceptance form! It's apparently because we are longstanding members of the Halifax....pmsl. Not had anything to do with them for years!

 

Hope my ERC claim is as easy!!
