[Kathie]

Congratulations - I adding up my chrges now - I was worried about working out compounded interest but think I will just list it as you have done and see what happens - I ahve been told to send to Alan Betts Head of Unsecured Debt Management - at Grafton Gate East - is this who you dealt with??

 

 

Thanks - and ...I know its a daft question but how do you start a new thread? I.m having a bad day!

Still waiting for the money to arrive in my Abbey account. I have had the settlement letter from DLA and to day is 10 days from agreeing a settlement. I will phone the bank again tomorrow and will be onto Alison Burton if I dont have any joy.

 

As regards a question that was posed a couple of posts ago - I spoke to the Abbey regarding access to the account as I decided to have the money paid straight to there rather than waiting for a chaeque and then waiting ofr it to clear. I was told that the account is still active but the only way I will be able to access it is through the branch. As soon as the money is paid in then that will clear the £1k overdrawn balance and the rest is mine and will be drawn over the counter in cash (because I like to be awkward) and transferred to my Nat West account. They can then have my cards etc and close the account.

Very many congratulations Dessie!!!!

edit....

I don't know what the cash limit is, but I suspect that more than a few hundred might need to be "pre-ordered".

Well done you!! Its seing results like these that gives the rest of us who've just started hope.

[Dessie]

I am expecting to have to speak to the bank before I go in and get the cash. It will a pleasure to accept the cash and then hand over my card and tell them to close the account.

Still no payment today, and today is 10 working days from agreement being reached. Alison Burton is out of the office and I have been speaking to Paul Denham this afternoon. Have phoned them to chase up payment but been stonewalled basically.

 

Will be phoning him again in a mo, he says he has passed it on to a colleague who was on the phone when I asked to be put through to him.

 

I have told him that if I do not receive the money in my account by the end of today I will be withdrawing my offer as "full settlement" and will be proceeding with my claim for the full amount (about another £500-600).

 

Am a bit stressed and quite a bit annoyed.

[Dessie]

Have issued ultimatum through DLA and guess what?

 

10 minutes later, a phone call to say that a cheque has been paid into my account.

 

But

 

A CHEQUE???????

 

Abbey paying an Abbey customer some money and they pay by CHEQUE rather than a direct transfer grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

 

Anyway, money will be available once the cheque has cleared on Thursday

[Lula]

They are just ensuring that they get some of their money back through the overnight markets

[Dessie]

Cheque has cleared today

 

Time to start round 2 I think.
