Bank charges reclaim - Visit to my local branch

[I want my money back]

The company handling my two sizable bank charges claims has sent me two wads of forms. These include - Claims letters - Acknowledgment forms - Letter of Authority - Financial hardship claim form.

 

They say that I need to visit my local bank branch in person and hand over the forms. The official receiving the documents must sign and date the acknowledgment form.

 

I was just wondering why I would need to do this in person and should I ask for the manger, or can any bank employee sign?

 

Thanks for any help.

They have no idea and you are letting them do your claims.....sigh.

You need to send the Template letters probably from an internet based forum which might have cost you £50(free on all forums) to a central department. Which bank is it? I don't care which company you are using so please do not mention their name(it is embarrassing enough that they have told that garbage already).

And a warm welcome to the Free forum where you don't pay to do the same thing without fuss

A lesson learnt. I did two claims successfully myself just before the whole ground to a halt in 2007. I was moving abroad for a year, so handed the remaining claims onto this company (I won’t name them).

 

The claim is two years old now and the company has all the correspondence etc. They have recently calculated the amounts + interest and put forward the claims (Hardship Claim) to the TSB and Alliance & Leicester. I received two letters from the TSB acknowledging the claim (nothing from A&L) and forwarded them on to the claims company.

 

Today I received several document which the claims company says I must hand ‘in person‘ - Is there a legal reason for this?

Can you check the forms for any charges that they will make if you are successful with a hardship claim?

Claims Management Companies cannot go through the FOS on bank charges claims so they won't be able to do that for you.

Do you have priority debt arrears(mortgage/rent, council tax, utilities)?

Have they made you aware that you can claim from 27th July 2001 on financial hardship claims?

IWMMB - Take a look at the grief I went through when like you I handed everything to one of these claims touts. Camdenite Vs Abbey.

 

It was a whole world of grief and nearly ended up with me going to court against them for their negligence when submitting "my" claim.

 

As advised here. Get yourself out of it and pronto.
