Hi, im new to this site and need some advice.... i have looked around at some other cases and really want to claim back my charges but my account is overdrawn by about £350 and the bank are going to pass it to their collections team unless i clear it or make arrangements to clear within the next 7 days. If i send the S.A.R to my bank how will this affect me with regards to their threats to take further action if i do not attempt to pay back the overdrawn amount. I know the amount i would be claiming back is far more than what they say i owe them...and it is only the charges they have put on my account that has put me overdrawn....

 

any advice greatly appreciated

 

thanks:confused:

You need to inform them that the balance is in dispute due to unlawfully excessive penalty charges. This will stop them doing anything further until the dispute is resolved. Put it in writing, phone first if you want to.

Hi angry, going well at the moment i think. am about to send my letter before action, as I had a reply stating that as a "goodwill gesture" they would repay £386.00 of the £1437.28 that they have charged me!! lol. I have had pretty quick responses from the Halifax, although i have not had any reply to my letter saying i would NOT accept £386 as full and final settlement.

 

i will keep u posted

Hi everyone, great news I WON!! :D . I got as far as issuing court papers and the Halifax sent in the Acknowledgement of Service stating that they intended to defend. I received a letter from the Halifax letting me know that this is what they had done, HOWEVER, on a purely commercial basis it would not be worth their while defending, as they would not be able to claim back their costs (even if the bank wins) was what they put in the letter.

 

On this basis, and with no admission of liability whatsoever, £1875.05 will be refunded to your account within 5 working days.

 

I checked the bank today and they had actually done what they said, and the money was there.

 

A huge thanks to the site, and to my mate Angry Banker for all her help.

 

Note to all you fighting the Halifax - hold on in there, you'll get what you want in the end

 

A very happy Bank Avenger :D
