Was just interested in a quick poll to find out generally if people are claiming for more than just the 6 year period against Halifax?

 

Has this period been contested by Halifax and has anyone successfully challenged them?

 

I'm claiming back on 2 accounts which go back as early as August 1997....

 

Anyone else?......

 

Thanks

There are loads of us claiming back well over 6 years. If you look at the announcements above the threads there is an article actively encouraging us to do so!

Go for it!

I know that we are being actively encouraged to do this but I am particularly interested to find out if Halifax have tried to challenge it.

 

The advice to claim beyond 6 years is fairly recent. I have read in other forums that some banks are fighting claims beyond 6 years.

 

Just wondered if anyone had experienced anything similar with Halifax.

 

Thanks

Sorry, misunderstood.

I successfully claimed 7yrs 9 mths.

Friend claimed just over 8 yrs and another claimed nearly seven in Scotland where the limit is five years.

I read on here the other day about someone claiming over 10 years and had been offered a reasonable settlement don't know what the decision was though.

Mind you there is no consistency with Halifax, offers, timescales etc are different for everyone. Try it, what can you lose £120 court fee?

i've put my claim in - in fact LBA letter went off this morning.

 

As you say it does seem that Halifax are inconsistent and unpredictable... but ultimately they are paying up. Sounds like a little patience and perserverance goes a long way.
