Good Luck Bro.

Citizens Advice Bureau

I have just been down to my local CAB to discuss an unrelated matter.

 

Whilst i was there i asked one of the advisor's whether they have many people coming in with bank problems,charges etc.

 

We got talking and i mentioned Consumer Action Group/Bank Action Group and the help that had been given to so many people and she thought it was great.

 

I asked if she would be willing to pass this information on to members of the public who come in or perhaps put up a leaflet giving site information.

 

She is going to have a word with her manager so they can look into it and whether they will be able to recommend it.

 

I have another appointment on 15 May and will see what the outcome is.

 

Has anybody else mentioned this to them.

I posted this under General Knowledge but has not had too many views so i am copying it here.

Sounds good Sean. I think it would also be useful if people like the CCCS or National Debt Helpline knew about it too.

 

Not sure what Dave or Bankfodder would think?

[sean frampton]

I said they could make some money by selling it to people that they advise for free and off of there own backs.

 

Apparently there is someone doing that already.

 

Snake!

hi ive just read one of your posts and the consumer credit counselling service know about this site as i had my appointment for my dmp on wednesday and had a good old chat with my advisor about halifax and this website and she said let me know how you get on as it will be interesting to pass on to other clients, just thought id let you know that they are aware

[hwild]

Excellent thats great news!

I am currently sorting out a DMP with the CCCS too so i'l tell them about my claim too- my ex is getting advice from the National Debt helpline at the mo si il get him to tell them all about it too!

[sean frampton]

Thanks for the response. I am glad this is getting some reading.

 

I am trying to convince a good friend of mine about the process and this site but he is very skeptical.Not until i receive my charges back that he will do something about his.To be fair he has not really put any effort into reading this and thinks its hearsay.He will be proved otherwise and be converted.

 

 

If this could be recognised by a professional body then this would go a long way into helping those who either don't know about this or feel that it is some kind of fad and that it is a place where everybody can help each other and reclaim back what is rightfully theirs.

 

What the moderators and administrators who have set this up and run this have done a truly wonderful job for the help of people and for no monetary gain whatsoever.

 

Coupled together with sites and forums such as Money Saving Expert this can really let people gain control of their lives and finances and high lite the necessity of the power of communication for people after the same goal.

 

Long may it continue.

 

I will leave feedback on Monday as to the outcome from CAB.

hi it is good news isnt it. although my advisor had heard that you could claim back charges im not sure if she saw it on telly or elsewhere but she did know about it i told her the name of the website as well, so its good for other people who go to cccs and ndh that they will be informed that they can do it.

 

good luck with your case

[hwild]

Good luck to you...i do think that the more people who know about this site such as the cccs the better. I bet half the people who ring the cccs have been affected by bank charges!

 

I know how amazed i was when i discovered this site!

[blinkyblinkyblonk]

[hwild]

I know its fab! Can't wait to see how mine will turn out! I think i will have to keep referring back to your thread for help when i have to make a claim. It seems to be turning out like yours - haven't heard anything from Halifax at all!

 

Anyway i am really chuffed 4 ya - hope your head isn't too sore in the morning - but if it is u can go out and buy some painkillers with your Halifax card can't u!
