Hi, I phoned the Halifax last thursday asking for last six years statements, the guy said there would be a charge of £5.00. I told my daughter who phoned the same number, and she had hers for nothing! (gutted), anyway they arrived monday in 37 envelopes.

I used the spread sheet to work out the interest and have sent a letter (recorded) today requesting payment in full, total £692.46.

People in the office where I work think that I've got no chance, and starting to make me doubt myself, but hey S.O.B. Will let you know how I get on.

Why don't you make a small bet with your work colleagues. Use half of the proceeds to buy us a book voucher.

I'm waiting for my statements for between 2000 & 2003. £5 charge went out of the account quicker than I could put phone down and login to my account. Figure for 2004 to 2006 is currently £900+. Will update forum when calcs completed and letter sent.

 

Wife was sceptical also, until I showed her this website.

 

Good luck one and all.

You have hijacked someelse's thread. Can you please start your own.

Are people not allowed to join in a discussion :?

 

I thought that if you asked a question in someone else's thread that would be hijacking but not merely making a comment....

Guys, as has already been stated please don't hijack threads.

 

This is a VERY busy forum and people are trying to post about the progress of their claim in the same thread from start to finish, it makes it harder if there are other posts in there too.

If you found this post useful, please click on the "scales" icon in the bottom left of my post and say so!

Can anyone advise me on what to do now, do I wait for a reply or do I file a claim against them like I said in my letter to them (having not received my money back within 14 days).

Send an LBA letter from the Library. If you get nothing after that, then file a claim

 

Thanks but in my haste I sent the LBA letter first and then saw the other letter, doh! (any ideas) help!!!!!

Ah. if youve already sent the LBA you have 2 choices.

 

Send another one so that they have had a combined 28 days to respond or go straight to claim filing.

 

Which you do is up to you.

Hi, everybody, I had a phone call in work on the 10th april with a nice lady asking me if I could speak to her, I said no as I was in the office. The next day I received a letter with an offer of £90.00 in full settlement if I signed the yaadaa yaadaa. I sent them a fax saying no, I want the full amount £696.00, didn't get anywhere so filed a claim today which cost me £80.00 (hope it doesn't make me go overdrawn), now I'm praying that I get it back. Will let you know how I get on.

I checked my bank account this morning to see if my wages had gone in and nearly had a heart attack, I thought I had the wrong account!. They said they were going to defend the case fully but paid up with 13 days to go. I haven't had a letter explaining their reason yet.

I would like to thank everyone for their help and advice on this marvelous site and would advise anyone to stick it out, (my bottle started to go until I paid £80 fee to the court, and then nothing would have stopped me). Everyone I see I tell about this site, and now that I've won my money back (£776) they're all starting. Good luck to you all.
