Hi,

 

Great site!

 

DPA letter sent today, requesting all bank statements for a recently closed FD account. Once I tot up all the charges, I will send the claim letter in.

Welcome to the forum - keep us posted.

Recorded Delivery DPA letter sent today.

Great. Keep us posted!

[Mikebates]

Received very polite letter back today, sending back my cheque and saying a courier will drop off the statements.

 

Letter also mentions manual interventions will be included via notes and the records only go back six months.

 

( If a scan is required, please let me know)

 

Onwards!

Okies, long time no post but up to the moneyclaim part now, standard 'go away letters' so far.

 

I have checked the faq's and read quite a few threads, I am having a small panic attack over the moneyclaim info.

 

(Thanks to spiceskull etc for the info as shown).

 

Apart from adding this in where do you post the spreadsheet charges?

 

Questions :

 

'I have a contract with [bANK] dated [opening date?], ( I have an approx opening date).

 

I am claiming a refund of money taken by [end of account? what is this date normally referenced to?}

 

The claimant claims interest under section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at the rate of 8% a year from March 2000 to [CLAIM DATE] of £[spreadsheet amount + interest? and or court fees?}

 

Additionally I presume you cannot cut and paste the sample text provided? I found it over calculated the lines by 50 and even when trimmed to 1080, still went back to the 'error' 1130 lines etc

 

Thanks in advance!

Mike, take a look at my thread (link in my sig, below), and just use my moneyclaim info. Just remember to change the account number, dates, and daily interest amount.

 

Hope this helps....

[Mikebates]

Thanks! Claimed filed 29/6/06, here we go..

[monkey_uk]

Mike -

 

can you pm me the claim number,

 

claim amount (split into claim amount, interest, and court fees),

 

the name of the court filed at

 

and the date filed (yes, I know it's here on this thread any, but if you could pm this as well, it'd help!)

Received letter today from DG, offering a partial settlement.

 

Will send a no thanks letter etc!

[Mikebates]

Cough where do I click for a donation;) (doing it now)

[monkey_uk]

Have they settled in full Mike?

 

I hope you rejected their confidentiality clause?

[Mikebates]

Settled in full, don't bank with them any more since a year ago.

 

They did put the money into my 'non closed savings account' but happily transferred it to HSBC the same day when I 'queried it'.

 

Whole process was easy with them, DG sent the standard 50% letter, I replied no ta and then 2 days later, the full amount offer.

 

Ta again!

I assumed you had to agree to the confidentiality clause, is this not the case?

[Mikebates]

If I wanted to cross out the relevant parts I would have done. I know longer have an account with them, so I feel it would not impact me either way.

 

Suffice to say, I then received today in the post an app form to reopen an account with them, how odd! Reverse pr?

That is absoloutley not the case. Their offer of settlement shoul not have ANY terms attached to it. In my case, i sinply crossed out the bit saying I agrred to confidentiality. As you can see, they still settled.

Well, I'm glad you said that because I have seen comment on other threads of people saying that they signed the confidentiality clause, and to be fair I would have done the same...
