Yes - another newby!

Hi there, thought I'd have a go at this as I saw some info on a documentary a few weeks back... Alliance & Leicester and Halifax have both had their fair share from me in the last few years and I've always been disgusted at how much they charge, even if you're only a few pounds overdrawn... I'm going to have a good read through this mountain of info and get to work. Any helpful tips most welcome!!! Thanks...Sazzle

Hello Sazzle and welcome!

 

Start off by reading the FAQs and making sure that you understand what you are about to start. Optionally, sort out a parachute account and start using it for your normal banking transactions. Read up on the template letters and then read some threads in the forum for your bank to see how others are getting on and how many have won. Take your time to study all of this to get the best benefit from all the hard work and experience in this site.

Welcome.

 

Get your crampons on, it's quite a mountain

 

Before you start please have a thorough read of the FAQs (there's a Step by Step guide here too). You may want to print these out to refer to later

 

Then look at other threads in your bank's forum, so as you know what you can expect to happen

 

You need to spend 2 or 3 days gradually getting your head round everything.

 

There's a lot to take in, but it's time well spent and will ensure that you succeed in your claim without problems

 

This is a self-help forum and you must be prepared to put in time and effort. It is your claim, your money and you cannot expect others to do all the work for you.

 

When you feel confident that you understand the process and the various stages involved, start a new thread in your bank's forum and post your progress and any questions there and you'll get plenty of help

 

Good luck

Hi

 

im posting up a step by step account of how Im managing, take a look at my thread post number 48

 

im new too so my advice is limited, BUT, keep going it gets easier!!

[Sazzle74]

Thanks for the info - good to know there's so much support out there. I've never used threads etc - how do I find a specific thread/post number?

[thewifeandI]

Probably best to ask eyespy for the name of the thread and the forum it's in.

[Michael Browne]

At the top of your bank's forum, top left, Start New Thread.

[eyespy]

If you click on the username it will give you details about that person, you can then look at the threads started by that person. Each post in a thread has a number on the top right corner of the posted message. I forgot to tell you my thread which is Hello all ( been reading site for last 2 days!)

Sorry!

see I told you I was new. Ha Ha.

 

Also on the quicklinks button on the blue toolbar you can quickly look at the threads you are subscribed to.

 

I hope that helps.

Found it thanks! Starting to get the hang of it but brain starting to rebel now from info overload. Going home to check out exactly how much I'm owed
