halifax is the pits - **WON**

[yvonne125]

if the amount is more than 300 pounds just proof of id works but they can get funny about doing withdraws for less than 300 over the counter now. i had problems on that score when i lost my card so gave them an ear full they finally agreed.

[Marilyn]

Good for you Yvonne

 

We all need to stand our ground, and get whats owing to us!!!!

[blinkyblinkyblonk]

l think the wife and l is right, you can go into the branch and say I WANT MY MONEY...easy eh!!!, lm sure lve read somewhere here that if you cannot access your account then the branch has a duty to give you the balance on that account, although ld check with someone who has bit more knowledge than me...

 

so the peeling has started, need to get that fake tan out OR try and catch some rays while it lasts....glad to hear your a little more relaxed, keep it up

 

hi marilyn, the wife and i and yvonne, thank you for your replies and advice

all taken on board I'll just have to wait and see!!!

 

waiting game but a good one at that.

 

 

and yes the peeling has started!!!! and my goodness dont it itch lol

but luckily i got a tan underneath the peeling in reserve lol so all is not lost

 

I always thought the bank had 14 days to defend

but on my acknowledgement it says 28! mmmmmmm never mind i dont mind waiting

much rofl

 

take care everyone and good luck

[Marilyn]

Hey Blinky

 

l thought the same, 14 days to defend then once they did that, and they usually do, they have another 14 days......

 

is there a MOD out there who can clear this up for us PLEASE!!!

 

not sure how the tan in reverse works, or is it that you had a tan before the tan you got on hols and now the 2nd tan is peeling....gosh that was long winded!!!!!!!!!

[barracad]

14 days to acknowledge.

 

If they acknowledge they have 28 days to defend.

 

Both count from the date of service.

but ya know what i mean

hi barracad thanks for your reply

 

so basically they have 28 days from the 28th june to file a defence as they are defending the claim

 

have i got this right and clear?

 

 

thanks again

[barracad]

If that was the date of service then yes.

[blinkyblinkyblonk]

If that was the date of service then yes.

 

 

im sorry when you say date of service is that the time I filed the court action

or acknowledgement of service which is the 28th june, do they mean the same thing???

 

 

sorry im being thick here

[barracad]

The date it is deemed served is usally 2 days after you issued your claim. If you used Moneyclaim you would have had confirmation in the post and the date of service would be on that.

 

The date they acknowledged the claim is irrelevant.

halifax has paid in full

 

£2981.58

 

but no cheque and no money paid into the "closing" account

 

do I ring them or wait?

 

with the balance i owe halifax i have about £493.15 to myself but no way of getting at it because the bank took my debit card and cheque book!!!

 

any advice greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you for all of your help and this is a brilliant website

I would like to stay around and help others if i can

Your point about how you get to the money without a card is an interesting point on a closed account - I suppose you have to go to the branch.

Hi Blinky

 

I just thought I would let you know something, I have just been reading your thread, after just sending letter to bank for charges within the last 6 years to be documented and submitted to me.

I was very cautious at first and dubious about wether this would work or not, but after reading your thread you have been a total inspiration to anyone who is contemplating this.

I now know that I will not give up and will get just reward, am so glad you got a result you don't know how many others that result affects and how much of a boost it has given people.

 

Brilliant site, and so many people to give advice.

 

Thanks
