help with damages please?Hi,

[upferret]

Hi, I just filling out my N1 form for HSBC SAR non compliance and I dont know what to put as the damages amount. Do I also need to supply a breakdown of how I came to that amount with the N1 form? I think I dont need to pay the court fee because I claim income support, so what else can I claim and how do I work it all out? I am waiting on this info as I am completing the form online and I cannot save the form, only print it out when I'm done. Also can I request on the N1 that I would like the damages in the form of a cheque as opposed to being added to the amount I owe on the card as the account is in dispute? Also where it says court fee, if I am going to claim for this fee to be waivered, do I put an amount or leave it blank?

. Thanks for any help

Just keep anything you claim sensible and/or proveable stick to things like;

 

• your time say an hour or two per letter at something like £9 to £10/ hour
  
• A reasonable amount of research time at the same rate
  
• postage and stationary at actual/reasonable rates
  
• photostat copy costs at say 10p a sheet
  
• anything else you can think of that has a basis in fact at actual/reasonable rates
  

It wont come to a fortune, most claims are up to £100 but if you have spent it your entitled to it back .
