Spoke to a pal of mine who works for Halifax (HBOS) who said they are getting 6 DPA letters a day at their branch. They are refunding charges to people who go over their limit on rare occassions, others who do it monthly will be refused!

Seems a rule for some but not others.

Received acknowledgement letter this morning from Linda Young and my cheque has been returned, as they are supplying statements free of charge.

Clock now ticking.

Finally had time to work through my statements and totaled up excess overdraft fees, returned DD's and interest on charges on account and it came to a mind boggling £4258.73.

 

I remember when I had an agreed £1000 O/D one day and they reduced it to zero the next day! Loads of charges. I remember when I retired after being off sick from work for a full year (half pay + loads more charges) my lump sum pay off came through and they offered my wife a Visa card with a 28K limit!

 

Their notes are quite economical with their info., after telling them for the last year I was having probs with the Tax Man (Inland Revenue mistake) there is no mention on any page of these probs.

 

Rant over, letter on its way, pay back time, after having got money back from Standard Life for endowmwnt mis- selling, FD your next on my list!

no, I'd advise you to wait until the 14 day deadline you set them has expired, but it is up to you.

Just back from holiday and surprise, Mr Kernaghan does not agree with my LBA letter, now going to proceed through legal methods.

Have posted on Scottish site to ascertain where to lodge claim.

Anybody help?

Anyone know where to claim?

In Scotland versus an English based Bank, will probably need about 7 small court claims in Scotland.

FD now closing down my account, I'm getting letters from companies stating I have cancelled my Direct Debit, pity FD did not write and tell me.

Under DD agreement are they allowed to do that?

Hi Bev and welcome. Firstly you should start your own thread with any specific questions such as credit ratings. Read the FAQs and step by step section - loads of useful info. Also read others threads and search for the terms you're looking for.

Generally it shouldn't affect credit ratings but every case is unique - but not that unique ;-)

Nemo me impune lacessit!

The hours of folly are measured by the clock; but of wisdom, no clock can measure.

As long as one person lives in darkness, then it seems to be a responsibility to tell other people.
