KevBirch v Abbey

[Kevbirch]

Hi all

 

Just to let you know that I'm chuffed to find this forum with all the tools needed to professionally take on the Abbey.

 

My action has been prompted by Abbey taking £135 today that was part of some money put aside for my kids Christmas pressies.

 

Heck, they even had the audacity to take £1.51 interest after they forced me to overdraw.

 

Here we go.

Hi Kevin.

 

I suggest that you spend a couple of days reading the FAQs and the step by step guide. That will answer most of your initial questions.

Once you feel comfortable with them, open your own thread in the Abbey Bank Forum and post any questions and progress reports there. You will be able to draw on the experience of other users who are dealing with Abbey

 

Good luck with your claim.

 

Regards, Rooster.

Anyone know how many years back I can claim from tha Abbey

[Rooster-UK]

You can claim back up to six years. Beyond that you run into the statute of limitations.

If you want to claim beyond six years, then you must be prepared to stand up in court and convince the Judge that the bank had been deceitful and deliberately conspired to conceal the deceit from you.

Not an easy task!

[Kevbirch]

Excellent - 6 years will do nicely.

 

I just been looking at my charges the Abbey have deducted over the past 3 months alone amount to £547.

 

I'm getting started in the morning - I'm quite excited

 

Kevin

[Kevbirch]

One more question before I put the wheels into action?

 

Am I advised to write to the Data Protection Manager, or to the

bank's head office with my initial request for charges?

OK - a couple of questions today guys:

 

1] would anyone know what the Shabbey's time in answering SARs is?

 

SAR received and signed for 22nd Dec but they ain't cashed my cheque yet. Hope it doesn't bounce

 

2] How do I add sigs to my post like the one above?

 

Kev

[Kevbirch]

Just had another thought . . . .the Royal Mail site

tells me that the SAR was signed for on 22nd - but

there wasn not a signature available.

 

Anyone else had this issue?

Hi Kev,

Happy new year.. I have been getting letters from ScAbbey without any Ref: numbers and names on them, so it seems that they are trying to avoid ownership sound familiar.

 

Good luck.

[Mad Nick]

tells me that the S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) was signed for on 22nd - but there wasn not a signature available.

 

Me, too. Recorded delivery, Signed For or whatever it's called is a complete waste of time. As far as I can see, it just tells me where and when postie left on his round. Regards Mad Nick

I got all my microniches today - deep down I was hoping

they were going to be late . I've just updated the

spreadsheet.

 

It looks like I'm going to ask for £1,523.60 from the shabbey

- the prelim is going off tomorrow!

 

Recorded delivery (for what it's worth) again presumably?

 

Which address is best to send the prelim to? It looks like

I lost a week sending the SAR to the head office - they

passed it over to Bradford for their action. The microniches

also came from Bradford

I've had same problem when sending letters recorded delivery, the problem can be reported to royal mail if the signature isn't available within 5 working days - presumably on top of the 72 hours the site tells you to wait initially.

So, do I send the prelim to Bradford?

[newbody]

Just send all correspondence to the regents park address until you are given a contact name and address by someone dealing with your claimas i have read in other threads our mail gets passed around in the Shabby habit to various departments until someone takes responsibility to deal with it :grin: :grin:

[Kevbirch]

LBA day tomorrow

 

Where is the LBA sent to?

[Nakered]

LBA day tomorrow

 

Where is the LBA sent to?

 

Hello there, im in the same boat as you,i sent my LBA off today,

I sent it to the same place as my prelim letter.

 

Hope this helps.

Just phoned the Shabbey to let 'em know I hadn't had any response to their letter within the 4 weeks that they promised to get back to me.

 

I was told my case is now closed because they have offered a COGW of £695 and I would be getting a letter in the next few days confirming this. Strange that these automated COGW letters take exactly 4 weeks from prelim eh?

 

Oh well, only another £1000 or so to get back from them via the courts.

 

I think that I will be giving them a ring when I get my letter of COGW and use my gift of the gab to tell 'em that they will save money by giving me it all

[scousepie]

Good luck with tha one, I have emailed the Scabbey as I have been ignored recently, I got a reply back saying that they will be passing on my claim to CS, what are they on!

 

I have a court date in April?
