Hi all

 

Spoke to dopey femail at Abbey Triton Square today who says it can take up to 2 weeks to receive the cheque, pity Abbey were not as slow as that in putting charges on peoples accounts in the first place!! We will be looking to have the additional interest added on as well!! Good luck everyone out there.

They make it up as they go along! They deposited my money in my account and didn't even tell me! Get on the phone Cath and kick em up the backsides!

Abbey - 547.00 settled in full.

Second claim: £204 WON.

Barclaycard - 142.88 incl interest due WON BY DEFAULT as they didn't even bother entering a defence. Barclaycard paid up £184.88.

 

MBNA - Concluded £634.31

Capital One Concluded £148

Kinda disappointed I've no more banks to go after now...

Not really sure how to post on this site, but have received an offer from Abbey for £1000 which is about half of my charges so have sent letter accepting as interim and a LBA for the remainder.

Great site and the snowball seems to be gathering pace as people realise it's OUR money we trying to get returned !

Hi Cath,

 

Hope you dont mind me picking you brains, but youre a legend now :-)

 

I am trying to get back from the abbey £9400, after the 2nd letter they refunded into our accout £1257 GOGW. I have just had a reply from the LBA letter saying basically, you have had the GOGW, all our charges are lawful and justified as you didnt have sufficient funds in account etc, and if you want to complain here's a leaflet on how to complain to the ombudsman service...

 

did you get anything like this, I should start the court proceedings this week which will cost me £250 and am losing my bottle a bit (as generally having a bad week and everything going pear shaped).

 

Any advise will be very gratefully received.

:) Dear Fiona

 

You can message me anytime do not give up this is just Abbey's tactics and how they think by giving you a little bit back they are going to make you give up. We went the Fast Track and we dont regret anything you will be successful just keep your chin up. I will be here for you along the way to help in any way I can with the procedure it is nice being able to help people who are in the same situation as we are.

 

With regards to the Ombudsman ignore this we went this route with Kensington Mortgages and it was a complete waste of time! Your day is coming just wait and see.

Hi Catherine

Many Many congratulations. You have given me the confidence to go for my sons charges £7300. Preliminary going out tomorrow. He's getting married next year after living with his partner for 16 years not been able to afford the wedding he wanted thanks to Abbey. His account is closed and he has been paying every month to clear the overdraft not much left now. Really annoying when I look at his charges and the way he was hassled to clear the debt. Never mind this might help a bit or even a lot (if all goes well) towards the big day. I will need all the help I can get. I have spent hours reading this forum but your case has really egged me on. Enjoy your shopping you certainly deserve it.

Dave & Cath - CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU BOTH!!!!!! Thank you for sharing your story with us!! I am so glad you WON and hope they get their finger out and get this money to you very soon - then you can make your new home special ready for your future etc.. You had it so tough - I am so glad you came out of it smiling!!

 

Today I sent our Prelims to ABBEY from two old accounts from when my husband was made redundant after the foot & mouth desease crisis (the firm he worked for went bust) - ABBEY made our lives hellish and really took every opporunity to spin charges onto our accounts - one day back then we had 18 x £30 and 6 x £10 all go out of the account on the same day plus their unauthorised O/D fee!!! When m hubby rang them asking for help (extension of our O/D while he took agency work on) they wouldn't budge to help us and they took 3 of the £30 charges off the list by reversing them and allowed us to have £90 shopping money for the month (we have 2 kids) - then we were faced with a spiral of continuous charges on top of charges till we had to let them default is for £1900 ish!!! We had absolutley no alternative as we had to arrange parachute accounts so we could get my p/time wage so we could eat!! Over a few months we went from being modestly comfortable and getting by in life to arrears in all our bills - ABBEY even had the cheek to ask us why we'd got mortgage arrears!! (like any of us can pay charges like this and pay mortgages??) They harrassed us for a long time - and I remember only too well how low it makes any of us feel - they have no conscience at all.

 

Now I totted up that even after paying the defaults on the two accounts we owed them on - they still owe us around £2000 mark!! and that's just on the 2 current accounts!! That's just in charges and cleared transactions charges - I have yet to go through the mortgage account to see what charges they sneeked into there!! (that's my next project tomorrow - I am reading what I can claim back there) So I plan to get our defaults removed and our remaining money back - would love to go court show a judge what they did to us cause our accounts were fine till they took the mickey when hubby was made redundant - in 3 months they stung us for £3000 in charges - YEP!!! Payback time is close??

 

Cath - your thread is an inspiration!!! So glad you wrote here - I shall sure chase our money back and clear our names!!

 

Sure can't wait till you write you got your cheque!!! :grin:

Hi to everyone and especially Elizabeth and Anney

 

Lovely to get your messages. I agree with you Elizabeth we to like you through the Abbey eventually had to sell our home and lose everything we had worked hard for just because of the fact that my husband was made redundant and I became ill and could no longer work! We are delighted that Abbey have chosen to settle but battle on now to claim back two ERC with GMAC and Kensington and like you we are awaiting statements so I dread to think what they have charged us in actual charges as well!! They had the cheek to write and say were we sure we wanted all the papers they held? Oh yes please you b............s.

 

Anney I am sure you will get the money back from your son's account and hope you have a fantastic wedding you deserve it. Can I have a pcture when the happy event happens.

 

They had an article on this matter on GMTV and I wrote in by email telling them all about The Bank Action Group and how grateful we are to the two fellas who got this site going for us with all the hard work from them and their helpers we have been able to move forward. Power to us people!!!

Thanks Cath,

 

Your words of support are truely appreciated. Going to start putting the court claim together on Monday, going to give myself a few days to read up etc before I do it.

 

After reading different peoples stories you have to wonder how the people at the Abbey sleep at night. what upsets me is that I tried all ways to reason with the Abbey people and they were so fixed and rude they wouldnt budge an inch, my account is on a manage down and when I go into the branch the staff there have a condersending tone in their voice. In the last telephone conversation I had with their debt dept, the woman their said "it does matter whether you cant believe it or not, there is no way that this months charges can be waived, and if you go over your overdraft again we will request it all back at once" What I find amazing is that after a few letters instead of refunding £240 (the charges I asked them to waive in that particular month) they have now refuned £1257, its like magic!! They should be called the Dick Turpin Bank :-) Going for the rest now!!

 

Cheers Fiona :-)

Hi Cath and Dave

Yippee!! I am so..oooo pleased to hear of another victory against shAbbey!!

 

They made my life hell over so many years. One time I phoned from in the bank and some slip of a girl (judging by her voice and attitude) told me they'd reversed one charge and they would not be reversing any more - they'd taken £150 in charges that month out of approx £500 income. I was in such a state all I could do was to turn to the wall to stop people seeing me in tears. B*****ds!

 

I look forward to hearing about your win with Kensington Mortgages. Mine will be with GMAC after shAbbey x3 and possibly bailiffs?!

Excellent news Catherine, its taken a while but the result justifies it.

 

Your thread is an inspiration to many who will follow where you lead. Just like other threads it is wonderful to see how the nervous and worried Catherine at the start of this thread has gradually changed into somebody that beams with pride at what you have achieved.

 

Enjoy your moment you deserve it.
