Hi guys,

 

Sent a letter on the 15th January requesting a charge of £30 be refunded to my account. Used the normal letter requesting full repayment and noted I expected this to happen within the next 7 days.

 

I just recieved a letter bank from halifax this morning.

 

It confirmed the reciept of my letter and said it would get back to me within 4 WEEKS.

 

Any advice on what to do? I dont like how they have suddenly got charge of the timings of the case. I know its only a small amount.

 

Thanks

 

Nuno

Hi nuno,

Yes like AWC says, ignore it. This is the standard letter. Everyone gets it. Just keep to the 14 day timeline. :)

Nuno,

You're at exactly the same stage as me. I've just got te same letter in the post this morning, also saying that they'll get back to me in 4 weeks. Guess they'll get a shock when the LBA arrives in about 9-10 days :eek:

You would have thought that they would have learnt by now that they will not win and may as well pay out ;) - that said, it looks like they may be going that way:

Appears that they got Flipster's prelim on 3rd Jan, and he recieved an offer for the FULL AMOUNT yesterday - 15days :-o

Keep us all updated Nuno, and good luck..

Hi guys,

 

I just saw that my back have taken a further charge of my account for being £1.89 over my ooverdraft. Ive had another charge allocated to my account of £30.

 

What do i do seeing as it has been charged during the process of complaint?

 

I have already sent the letter (above) asking for an original £30 being reimbursed?

 

Please please HELP.

Just recieved an offer of £90 as full and final settlement.

 

They only took £60 from me?????

 

I'll have a bit of that please. Letter of acceptance is in the Post.

 

However Iam a littele scared this amount could be in respect of all my Halifax accounts. What do you think? The letter has the Roll Number of only one account so I dont think it can be and the reference is the same as the one on all my correspondance to this account.

 

Thoughts Please.

You could allways give them a call and ask for them to refund the charges. I am claiming against Halifax and after my prelim letter went to them (06.03.07) I received a letter Friday saying that they were charging me £30.00 for going 84p over my overdraft limit. I phoned them and demanded it back and was told that a further £30.00 was been charged due to a payment going out of my account where the payed in amount hadn't cleared in time. I demanded that both these charges be returned, and after a bit of being put on hold in order for the person to speak to supervisor they agreed to refund both charges. Sometimes it can save a bit of time by doing this way. If they tell you that they won't refund the charges, then go down the normal route - prelim, LBA, Claim.

 

P.S Had a call Friday night where they offered me a full refund of the charges claimed in my prelim letter.
