Hi, Been a member for just over a week, so thought Id make my first post.

 

I am now taking on the entity known as Halifax PLC to get my money back, I reckon they owe me a couple of thousand back in bank charges.

 

Ive requested my bank Statements directly from them, didnt bother with the SAR (is that Ok?), still waiting for them to come through.

 

Got the excel spreadsheet ready and waiting to calculate how much they owe me and will take great delight in sending off my Pre-lim.

 

Ordered them last wednesday so any day now :)

 

will keep all informed.

Rang up halifax on the 18/10/06 to request statements

 

Rang up again on the 24/10/06 to see if they have been sent. Got told yes.

 

Today (01/11/06) got a letter from them asking me to pay the £5 payment to cover the costs.

 

Rang up and moaned stating that Id already told them to take the £5 out of my account and what is going on as Ive been told that have already been sent.

man on phone stated that all calls to belfast are recorded and that he would contact the manager of the person who told me and if its true they will send them straight away, He even said he would call me back to let me know, so Ill give him till tomorrow and see if he does.

 

WANT MY STATEMENTS SO BADLY NOW LOL!!!!! Want to get an idea of how much Im gonna get :)

 

Anyway will keep u informed.

Hi, have just sent my prelim and got a few questions and hoped someone could help:)

 

How likely is it that they will close my account? Im claiming £687.

 

Do they put the money directly into your account or by cheque?

 

How likely/often do they just settle after the prelim?

 

 

Thanks in advance

We can't give any precise answer to that, but they are not in the habit of closing accounts. You need to be prepared for this though, just in case.

 

Do they put the money directly into your account or by cheque?

 

If the account is still active then it will be refunded to that.

 

How likely/often do they just settle after the prelim?

 

They are most likely to settle in full after the court claim is issued.

 

Thanks in advance

Ok received a letter through from Haliprats on Friday (17th Nov), offering me £212 pounds. Im claiming £687.

 

My LBA isnt due until next friday but seen as though they have replied to me am I right in thinking that I should accept it as part payment etc.

 

NOW THE CONFUSING BIT:)

 

Im going to attempt to claim contractual interest!!!! lol

 

Has anyone got an idea of what kinda letter I need to write them, bearing in mind that I will accept the £212 in part payment, its my LBA and also that I will be claiming Contractual Interest????

 

Also is there any other halifaxers who have been succesful in claiming contractual interest???

 

From phoning the customer realtiones department the other day they didnt even know what it is???

 

Please help :)

From what I've read on other threads, its better to do separate claims for separate accounts or its gets confusing! If you get any spare time, ( do any of us get spare time? ) take a look through the winners threads. A lot of my ques have been answered by looking through ones that have gone the whole way and won!!! Most of the answers you want will crop up in there.

Ok little update, Rang Rachel Hincliffe, She said no claim recieved!!! Faxed through to them. She confirmed recieved. Said acknowledgment of service done on friday. Its now Tuesday and I havnt had anything in the post? Should I have by now? She said to me they now have until the 4th Jan to put a defence in? I thought the acknowledgement was the defence???

 

Any ideas?

lee.all the banks know these charges are illegal,they wont defend because they know they will lose,if your having any doubts read all the posts on this website,if that doesnt convince you ,go to www.money saving expert.com there are dozens more examplews of settlements and tips on how to continue your claim succesfully.EVERYONE dont let them convince you to settle for less than the full amount.

Got the letter through yesterday offering me settlement. They wont consider the contractual interest part of my claim but really need the money so have called and the woman said she will make a note that I will take the money. I havnt actually said to them yet that might continue for the contractual, (worth about £500), I just want to make sure I get the first bit of the money in. She says it will be between 5 to 10 days apparently. Anyone have any experience of how long it actually takes???

 

Another quick thing, Why is it that some people just find the money in their account and then get the letter but others like me get the letter first?

 

Is halifax not asking for people to accept it first?

If you accept this payment (presuming that it will be called 'full and final') then it is the end of this claim, you can't change your mind about the contractual interest bit later.

 

That's not to say you should or shouldn't accept it - that's up to you only - but I just want to make that point clear.
