I hope I am not premature in saying thank you, but I am doing this bank charge refund thing for my boyfriend & his brother.(boys are the worst!) I sent the first template letter to obtain a copy of all charges, with a cheque for £10 as advised. The bank returned the cheque, saying that my copies will follow & the £10 charge would be waived on this occasion! Guilty, me thinks!

Will let you know what happens next....isn't this exciting?!

 

I will definitely be donating to this site, the advice has been fantastic. Maybe everyone that is willing to pay the £10 for copy statements & has it returned could donate it to the site instead? Just a thought. ;) X

Hi Clued

 

Sounds like you are doing fine so far and a VERY good Idea for the £10 and I know the site staff would be very gratful for any donation.

 

I know the HSBC do return the £10 but dont think many others have done this.

 

Start a thread in your banks forum and keep us updated on how you are doing and so others can help support you if needed:)

 

Good luck.

 

Welly;)

DONT FORGET TO DONATE TO THIS SITE WHEN YOU WIN THANKYOU

If you dont it wont be here:x

Hi Everyone,

 

It is 40 days today that I have waited for my copy statements to arrive from Barclays. THEY'RE NOT HERE! Is it 40 working or actual days that I must wait?

It says in the FAQ to report them for breach, but wanted to check I wasn't being too hasty? Don't really want to phone them as I understand they are RUDE and I'm sure they will put it to the bottom of the pile. Also I'm doing all this on behalf of my very busy boyfriend (he's giving me half, so I can't complain!) so they won't talk to me anyway!

 

Appreciate any advice on this guys, thanks.

Have looked everywhere in FAQs - who do I ring to chase up my late statements? Don't want to be ringing around, not speaking to the correct people. Anyone got a number please? - that works???! (for Barclays)

hi there, yes a really useful number is peter townsend at data protection at barclays, 01565 614000 ask for peter townsend or data protection, as its your other halfs account you may needhim to ring and give permission for you to speak on his behalf but its worth a try first off - i think mr townsend was really helpful with my request so who knows!

Thanks for the advice, just called them explaining I am acting on behalf of Mr X (made it sound like i'm legally clued up!) that the date has now passed and if the statements aren't here asap, I will reporting them to info comm.for breach.

 

The lady took all his details, said she would now fast-track the request & they will be sent out tomorrow!!!! Hooray, at last some progress, I'm SOOOOOO prepared for the next stages, (had 41 days of reading this site!) just need these statements to proceed.

 

Will keep you posted guys, thanks again for your help.

:) Hi everyone, I began this process a while back, but due to a holiday and moving house it all got a bit delayed. I'm on the case now.

 

After Barclays returning my cheque for £10 and my postman nearly dying under the weight of statements received daily for 4 days, I am now claiming £ 1910.00 back in charges on 2 accounts for my partner as he says I'm better at these things (he really doesn't have the time & thinks a pc is something to do with the Police! bless!)

 

I have entered the charges on to the spreadsheet as advised. I have included the 8% interest on the schedule, however I have made it clear that I am not claiming this money at this stage. I put TOTAL AMOUNT BEING CLAIMED next to the total of charges (not next to the other amount inc interest)

 

IS THIS OK? I really don't want to have to type it all out again as I didn't save the details of the 1st account's charges, just printed it out & photocopied it loads!

**Please can someone let me know asap as I want to send this off tonight.**

 

Thank you X

Hello, I am at the stage when I am filling in MCOL but I have fallen at the 1st hurdle! Can anyone please direct me to how to complete a MCOL, where to find things like "claim description". Sorry, I know I must sound like yet another desperate, panicking person, but I have used your advise on this site up until now with no probs, but I am getting stuck with this.

Don't need step by step, just where to find info.

THANK U THANK U THANK U (in advance) xxx

Thank you that link was perfect, however....

Aaaaggghhh, this really isn't making sense, after following the guidelines on this site, I was sure that at every stage including the LBA, I wasn't to include the o'draft interest in my correspondence. Now when I go to make a MCOL, it says if I haven't claimed o'draft interest, I have to remedy this???? V Confused now? What have I missed?

Its oj dont worry. You dont add interest till court stage. So all letters inc LBA should not have interest included.

 

In the library you will frin a spreadsheet that you can use in order to calculate your interest and then you can use that for mocl

 

hope that helps, good luck

Thank you, I have already calculated all interest but by reading that link, I was worried as I thought I had to tell the bank that I was claiming this interest in writing, before I do! Very confusing wording! Sorry, panic over phew!

Thanks again x

Hi everyone,

 

I am filling in the N1 Claim form and I need to ask a couple of questions please;

1) I am attaching the "simple" charges spreadsheet, is this the correct one or should i use advanced one?

 

2) I am getting totally confused at the section "value" with regards to Interest under S.69 county courts act, please can someone help me with this asap? I'm really lost, looked everywhere.

Thank you

Thank you for your quick response. What is confusing me is where it says to quote;

charges - this is obvious

overdraft interest - this is total amount of interest on charges.

Interest under s69 - how does this differ from overdraft interest? How do I work it out, is there a formula?

 

God, you wouldn't believe I have a degree would you???!!! Hope this isn't too obvious! Thank you.

Clued, be calm and do not be in a rush. You could make a mistake if you are in a rush.

 

Firstly, the basic spreadsheet is already prepared with all calculations for you. All you have to do is to input all applicable charges you are claiming and the total will be displayed automatically. You do not need to input any formula on the spreadsheet.

Secondly, notice that the total shows amount and interest separately. Enter the total amount and interest in the appropriate section within the 'Particulars of Claim' in your N1 form.
