rainbow005 vs. Lloyds TSB

[rainbow005]

Hi all,

 

just popping in to start my thread regarding reclaimation of my charges from Lloyds TSB:

 

13th March - sent DPA letter for schedule of charges.

 

That's it so far - no acknowledgement or reply as yet from the bank. 40 days ticking away.

 

Oh, forgot to add - strangely the ability to view my statements on-line has been removed from my account. Coincidence? Who else has noticed this?

 

Will keep you updated.

Hi rainbow, welcome Good luck with your claim. Not that you need it of course stick to the advice and the step by step guide and you'll be fine

 

Apparently this was happening earlier on this week. Me personally? I can view my statments at the moment.

[rainbow005]

Hi nanaman,

 

good luck with your own claim too.

 

I've been reading as many of the threads as possible and it looks as though LloydsTSB are employing as many panic-driven tactics as possible to throw people off the path of reclaiming charges.

 

That's why it's so important to keep up to date with everyone's experiences and stay prepared for whatever they may try next!

Quick update:

 

13th March - sent DPA letter for schedule of charges.

17th April - schedule of charges received totalling £1,110

 

The accompanying cover letter is almost goading me into requesting further statements going back for as long as I've held the account (which is around 15 years in total).

 

However, for now I think I'll just proceed within the six year time frame.

 

Preliminary letter for refund of £1,100 will be sent on Monday.

I've just spoken to Lloyds who have informed me that there is absolutely no way I would be able to get a copy of the terms and conditions that were in force at the time my account was opened in 1995.

 

They say that, in specific relation to charges, no information pertaining to 'how much' they would charge me for for a specific item would have been contained in the T's and C's anyway - but that they periodically send out a 'tariff of charges' whenever the amounts charged are changed (ie: 'upped'!).

 

What do I do now? Can I still submit my claim to the court without being able to obtain a copy of the terms and conditions for my account at the time it was opened?

[Champnos]

Yes they wont provide you with eveidence against themselves. Other than one you own as your right to obtain, eg your statements. Yes go ahead and claim, there are people on here who may have some t&c's for you should it get that far. Thats a long way off yet.

Have you sent prelim letter? then the LBA? not sure why you are talking of Court at such a early stage.

[rainbow005]

Hi there,

 

yes, I'vew sent the prelim letter on 30th April, and the LBA on 16th May. No response from Llyds since either of those letters, so now starting the claim.

 

Thanks for your comments,

Kirsty

God, I hope I don't sound too stupid when I ask this!

 

I want to let an administrator or sitehelper know about the start of my claim - but how do I contact one? And is an 'administrator' the same as a 'moderator'?

 

Thanks,

Rainbow

[scuzziemoo]

admin is a runner of the site, a moderator helps run it.

 

Just try at find their name somewhere, I found mine looking through post replies, and just send them your claim info.

 

Goodluck

[rainbow005]

Thank you! You'd never guess I used to work in IT!

[rainbow005]

Lloyds have just informed me that another £130 quids worth of charges will be leaving my account at the beginning of July.

 

Guess I will need to go to the court and pick up the appropriate form to amend my claim when that happens?

[Tipsy0nBacardi]

Form N244 - Ammending particulars of claim Dont forget it will cost you £35 to ammend it

[rainbow005]

Evening all,

 

Yet another crappy, rainy day - and yet more crap from Lloyds: standard 9 point defence received in this morning's post, along with an allocation questionnaire.

 

Am I correct in thinking that, as my claim is under £1,500, the AQ fee does not apply? There isn't any indication as to what the fee is/would be with the paperwork from the court anyway.

 

Have a good evening everyone.

That is right

[rainbow005]

Thanks for the clarification.

[GuidoT]

If you have not done so already then do not amend your claim, it will cost you £35 and is non refundable and will delay your claim. Once this claim is finished you can start again.

 

Again if you have not done so already then you can PM me with your litigation details.

 

These should help you complete the AQ, New Strategy really a must now:

Hi GuidoT, thanks for your message.

 

I'm not going to amend my claim - read in some of the other threads that this cvould delay it, so I'm just sticking with the original amount of my claim.

 

PM'ing you now with lit details.

 

Thanks,

Kirsty

[GuidoT]

Good stuff.

[rainbow005]

Afternoon,

 

I'm ready to send my court bundle in, but have a question:

 

- is there a court form that I have to use to present the court bundle?

 

Or do I simply get all the paperwork together and put a covering note/letter with it summarising the paperwork being submitted?

 

Cheers,

Kirsty

[christinajanep]

hi in the court bundle there is a contents page so use that and just put ina covering letter stating what it is etc

[rainbow005]

Evening all,

 

Have been away for some time and haven't thought about my court claim against LTSB for quite a while (since last summer, in fact!).

 

On the 10th September last year, I received a notice from the court stating that my claim was being stayed. The actual wording on the General Form of Judgement or Order was "... hearing on 28th September 2007 is vacated...", which I assume is the same as "stayed".

 

What do I do next? Can I simply ring up the court and ask them to continue with my claim?

 

Thanks,

Kirsty

[GuidoT]

Welcome back.

 

Latest news is here.

[rainbow005]

Thanks GuidoT.

 

I'll bide my wicked time until the 22nd May then! What's another few weeks after all this time, eh?!

[GuidoT]

It is just a waiting game.

 

I am not holding my breath, I think we will be waiting until the end of 2009 before we get any real progress.

 

I just do not see how they can take the claims off hold, when the courts have not decided if the charges are fair / unlawful.
