Hi everyone, lurker extraordinaire here :) , im about to send off my prelim letter for a whopping £3659.50 :o now before i start i would like to ask if it will be possible to get a default removed at the same time? I know its possible but in this instance the default was for a loan account with hsbc which i feel was only brought about as a direct result of exessive charges leading to unpaid items (funny how they always find the money to pay themselves tho :mad: ) this also lead to a similar thing with egg credit card (arrears = default = sub prime morgage = lots of wasted money paying exessive interest rates )

anyway basicaly any advice would be appreciated

thanks to all and what a great place this is (i just wish i had found it earlier :wink: )

Hi Clint.

 

As far as the default goes, I have a feeling that it may be difficult because it was not applied to the account which is in dispute.

It was a consequential outcome of the problems with your current account not a direct result.

 

If anyone else has information to the contrary I will be pleased to be corrected.

 

Good luck.

Regards, Rooster.

See if anything comes up.

Hello again.

 

This is the answer that I got from a moderator.......

If it was with the same company ie hsbc loan and hsbc current account I would say go ahead. I'm about to start a claim for default on credit card with NatWest based on charges on NatWest current account. Although ask me in a few months I might be able to tell you the correct answer then!

 

He could also go the s.10 route (Unwarranted damage and distress) rather than s.14 route (incorrect data) or do both as I am!

 

Direct him over to the defaults forum. Its a little tucked away for newies to find sometimes.

 

Click on this link for DEFAULTS FORUM.....

 

Post the question there, see what sort of response you get.

 

Good luck.

Regards, Rooster.

I am so grateful for your help, having browsed through some of the default forum i think im going to concentrate on the bank charges at the moment and sort the default/s later (one thing at a time i think, i am not great with this kind of thing so dont want to bite off more than i can chew :o).

So onward with my claim, i will post the preliminary letter on monday and hopefully get the ball rolling!!!:eek:

Ok i think i have made a mistake in adding it all...:o i had for some unknown reason altered vampiress's spreadsheet to 6% interest but now understand its actually 8% AND i had not added the interest so with interest the actual amount would be £4,673.44

(£3699.50 + £973.94 = £4,673.44) so as i understand i add the interest at the mcol stage BUT when sending the spreadsheet in preliminary letter should it reflect the charges + interest or just the charges ? also would the fact it would then be above 5000alter anything or is it the same procedure? any help would be appreciated greatly :D

Ok answered my own question.

This will also calculate a further kind of interest (at 8%) but this is not reclaimable at this early stage and is for future reference only.

Enclose a schedule detailing the charges you are claiming, but do NOT include the 8% interest on the schedule yet.

 

taken from http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/faqs-please-read-these/31460-step-step-instructions.html

(which i promise i have read i just diddnt understand the interest bit clearly although i think i have a grasp of the general idea of adding :o )

i havent managed to answer my other question was as to whether the process will be the same as the amount claimed with interest would exeed £5000. i will endevour to answer but if anyone knows in the mean time feel free to chime in :grin:

Hi all a quick question if i may :)

well im sure that this is an indicator of my luck. The Preliminary letter is STILL not received according to the royal mail website. Royal mail say to allow up to 5 days for delivery (posted first class recorded delivery on monday its now friday).... BUT you then have to wait up to 15 days before enquiring/reporting :eek: i cant believe this is happening to me grrrrrrrrr, i now wonder A) how this affects the 14 day limit (assuming they actually receive the bloody letter at all) or B) should i just re send with a brief explanation/cover letter explaining that its a copy and origional was lost in post, and finally C) if i do that do i reset the 14days or continue according to the original schedule?

any advice would be appreciated :D

Hi,

 

I'm on the same timeline as you and am going through the same thing. I sent my prelim on the 15th and Royal Mail have no track and trace info on mine either. I had no idea that you could wait up to 15 days for the info!

 

Well, this is only my opinion, but I'm just carrying on with my timescale I've set. Chances are the letter HAS been delivered so you'd be upset if you waited for no reason!!

 

Keep us updated! Hopefully we'll get some kind of response before long. Roll on 29th Jan!

 

Nikki.

No mine hasn't either!

 

Hmmm - I'm guessing there may be a bit of a backlog after christmas - not much help to us though. I had to send in an updated prelim to HSBC last friday (added cont. interest) and I hand-delivered it in the end. At least I know it got there, and I took in a printed slip for the manager to sign for proof. It's ok for this stage though, but I'm not hand delivering to Leeds!!

i call this one the fob off letter - you are lucky - some get no response at all and some get the sod off letter (our charges are legal you can go to hell before we give you anything). just carry on per the schedule - as you said - it's you suing them - not the other way around - just stick to the timetable - no matter what colin throws your way.

this is a good time to register with mcol and work your way through to the particulars - read up and start on it - get it the way you want and by the time the 14 days is up you will be ready to pay and submit. if you have probs, getting your particulars to fit - check the template and if you like i'll send you mine as another example. the mcol is very handy - just pop in and out at will.

Sorry to bother you but does this look ok

 

1. The Claimant has an account ******** with

the Defendant, opened 1997/8 2. Since

05/01/01 the Defendant debited charges and

interest in respect of purported breaches of

contract. 3. Defendant is aware of all

details as a list of charges has already been

supplied. Another copy will be sent. 4.

Claimant contends: (a) The charges exceed the

Defendant's losses caused by the breaches;

(b) The Term permitting the Defendant to levy

such charges is unenforceable under the

Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts

Regulations 1999, Unfair Contract Terms Act

1977 and at Common Law. 5. Claimant claims:

(a) return of the amounts debited of

£3699.50; (b) Interest per S.69 County Courts

Act 1984 of 8% - £2412.46 continuing at 8%

until judgment or settlement at a daily rate

of £0.81; 6. Alternatively, if the charges

are a fee for a service, then they must be

reasonable under S.15 of the Supply of Goods

and Services Act 1982. 7. Costs allowed by

the Court.

 

Thanks

Clint

Good to hear you've the LBA out to them! I revised my prelim, so I don't get to send mine til Friday.... I've never known 14 days to take so LONG!!

 

I too had the usual 'looking into it' letter about 5 days after sending. Ok, so it's not an offer, but reassuring to know they've got it. Knowing my luck I'll get the sod off letter next!!

 

I'm claiming contractual interest so I think I'm going to have to go down the N1 route unfortunately :sad: ....unless MCOL increases the amount of lines by the time I get to court! Not very likely, I know!

 

Good Luck!

also i added this in my prelim letter

 

What I require

I calculate that you have taken £3699.50

I enclose a schedule of the charges which I am claiming with this letter

Additionally you have entered a default notice against my credit record. This default occurred merely in respect of unlawful charges levied by you or was the result of impecuniosity caused directly by the taking by you of penalty charges which you had applied unlawfully to my account.

 

In addition to full payment of the sum mentioned above, I require that you remove the default entry from the register. Please note that mere correction or amendment to the entry will not be acceptable.

 

any thoughts?
