Hi there

 

Just found out about claiming fees back after being charged £120 last month so I thought I'd post letting you know what happening for me.

 

Kept a lot of my statements but quite a few missing - Current account so far is £504 and Credit Card is £75.

 

Sending 2 letters today to Halifax - One for current account and other for credit card - requesting charges list. Used letter in template forum, addressed to Data Protect Consultant, Halifax Plc, Trinity Road, Halifax, West Yorkshire, HX1 2RG and enclosed Cheques for £10.

 

Does this sound OK? Also is there an approx time frame for getting the list back?

 

Thanks for a brilliant website.

Hi , I am by no means an expert on this but my case sounds pretty similar to yours. I only sent 1 letter and 1 cheque for my credit card and bank account combined and have treated them together claiming for one total amount.

Have however sent separate schedules of charges but in the same letter.

 

So far so good, just filled out Moneyclaim... arrgh!! Have had standard (separate) offers for piddly amounts for each account so they seem to be able to cope with it all in one... shall see...

 

Good luck with everything!

Thanks for your reply.

 

Sending two because I've just moved house and my Credit Card is still registered at my mum's house. Didn't want to give them any reason to come back.

 

Hope yours goes OK.

 

Fingers crossed.

Just realised I didn't put any start date that I wanted on the charges list from on the request letter. Does this matter?

Hi in the sense that they wont know how many years you want to go back so you might get 10 years or 1 month Did you send a cheque? wonder if its worth resending the letter agian but altering the text to refer to the previous so that they can cross reference the two but this time put in the date.

 

Mods any idea?:confused:

There wasn't any mention in the template letter, only this paragraph:

 

 

Please supply me with a complete list of transactions and charges relating to my banking history with your organisation. Alternatively, a complete set of statements for that period will be acceptable.

Just a quick update. Received a letter from the halifax on Friday sending back my cheque for £10 back and telling my they don't have to send my charges/statements.

This morning there were 25 letters on my doormat containing everyone of my statements from 1994 to date.

Adding up at the moment and it looks like they owe me £673.

I'm currently preparing the Prelim letter. On the schedule for claiming it says don't put the interest on at the moment but on the prelim template it says put it on.

Anyone know what I should do?

Cheers

Dave

Hello there.

 

Bit more help if possible.

 

Received an offer on Saturday 8th Oct for less then half the money (£330). Of course I'm not going to accept. The thing is I'm due to send my letter before action out tomorrow (10th) as the first 14 days are up.

 

Should I send the LBA and tell them I will accept the £330 as partial payment or does it need to be two letters?

 

Many thanks

 

Dave

You can just adjust your LBA to reflect acceptance in part without prejudice but, they will probably retract their offer once you have said that you won't accept it as "full and final" or, you can just adjust the wording slightly to reflect the fact that their response has not been satisfactory rather than that you have not had any response.

 

Hope this helps

You don't need to send the bank anything else. Just put it on your spreadsheet for the court and include it in your total claimed. You can keep adding right up until the date you file your claim.

 

Just a tip - if you are going to claim through MCOL it might be worth your while registering with them and filling a few details a few days before you are actually due to file. I did it the day before - it saves the pages for you as you go along and it saves having to rush through things on the actual day. I re-read the details I had put in about 3 times before I completed it. You will get to this stage because Halifax won't settle in full before you do but, once you have filed things should move fairly quickly for you.

 

Hope this helps

I don't think you will have to wait that long Dave. My experience seems to be common in that as soon as the claim was shown as "acknowledged" on MCOL I received a letter offering full settlement. I filed on a Monday, it was acknowledged on the same Thursday and I had the money in my account by the following Tuesday. So, just over a week all in all.

 

Hope this helps
