Advice ;they paid 25% into my account

[MARTIN3030]

Just looked at my account and see Halifax have paid 584.28 into my account

now I wonder whats happened to the rest of the claim 2000k +

Last I heard was they filed an ack and intended to defend of which they still have 24 days........whats the crack and what do I do now ?

[MARTIN3030]

Well I just done a quick check of the claim partics

the figure they have paid is exactly the total interest figure claimed from 28th July on submitting plus the 120 costs.

 

I do now recall seeing them doing this in 2 payments since they are paying from different sources within their group (presumably there is a way they can offset the interest and costs somewhere )

Well after all......I have been answering loads of posts recently regarding Halifax settlements.

What is quite clear is that while their responses to prelims and lbas has been dwindling........on the other hand their response time from acknowledging a claim to settling has come down to a matter of 4 or 5 days !!

 

I was quite aware of this and really expected it to land tomorrow.

 

BTW on this subject check your pm.

how bizzare indeed...i too have had £419.40 cash deposit into my halifax account today, was confused as to what it was for thought someone had made a mistake when paying cash into a account over the counter !

But looking closer this leaves £1479 of my claim outstanding. Halifax acknoedge moneyclaim a couple of days ago and still have until 28th August to lodge defense....what is going on in Halifax today??

 

Ive not had any correspondance from Halifax since the standard letter of refusal came days before i lodged with moneyclaim....is this normal practise from halifax? when do i get the rest !!!!

Ken just out of interest calculate the following from your claim form (the one submitted to court)

 

add the interest total from the claims partics with the court fee.

 

What does that add up to ?

 

If its what they have paid you today.......consider you won mate.....expect the main part tomorrow and a letter in the morning telling you they bottled it !!

it is £70 more than the interest and the court fee, leaves £1479 outstanding, any ideas?

[MARTIN3030]

Bit of a mystery there Ken:rolleyes:

 

I can only think they are juggling some figures around.

From what I can gather the reason they are doing this is to balance their books for write offs and tax adjustments later.

 

Now we know they are less than economical with the truth when it comes to dealing with your money.......so equally theres good reason to believe that they would behave the same way with their own !!

 

Who is going to come to you later asking how much they paid you ?

 

Dont think I need to elaborate.

Maybe in the morning the letter will clear it up.

They know you are not going to contact the court to say settled until you have your money.

 

I am guessing here but it is very logical........Halifax appear to be the biggest defendants here......they cannot afford to be seen to be cluttering up the court process by delaying all their claims I think they are worried that it cpuld backfire on them so have decided to sort quickly.

They are filing a defence on the assumption that they are looking at cases first

if they chose no defence after 20,000 cases it would not even enable them to do it.(or would be difficult)

Thats my view anyway..............who cares as long as we get our money

and that goes for everyone else who has fought them to get it !!

[MARTIN3030]

Oh dear.....

 

Now cnt log into my Halifax accounr online.

 

Not only do they not want me to have my money back but they dont want me to See the payout from them early doors

[wunchofbankers]

well done guys!!!!!!!

you will be paid today or tommorow

great stuff

my claim was acknoweleged on wednesday 2nd aug, thought i would have to wait a couple of weeks but will be activly looking at my account from today, i does finaly look like the halifax are getting off their asses and paying people promptly, good for them ( hope this is not another trick though )!!

 

they must have a motive for this perhaps, as said, the justice people have complained about them clogging up the court system, after all there are dangerous people whose car tax is a millonth of a second out of date who need to be in court, rather than us!

whatever it is long may it continue

best of luck all

SPEND SPEND SPEND

No letter from them today then.

And no sign of the remainder as yet.

 

Yes Halifax look to be the biggest defendant out of all the bank claims.

If they have 20% of all the claims cluttering the courts system up awaiting them to withdraw their defence I would imagine they have had a rather big kick up the a***
