woolwich claim settled

[ranader]

I advised a colleague who has a woolwich account to send off the DPA letter a month ago.He heard nothingt until last thursday when he recieved a letter advising him they will pay £780.

The woolwich merely asked him to sign an undertaking he would not pursue the claim any further.

My advice would have been not to accept as sure as hell they owe him very much more which he could recoup in court.

It does show that the woolwich would appear to be rather less obstinate than alliance and leicester for example upon whom I shall serve a summons next week.

Well Im assuming he hasnt even recieved his DPA details yet?

 

If so then tell him to wait, he would be throwing away alot of money!

 

How long until the 40 days runs out? I would send a reminder to them...

I agree with Lueeze.

 

I'm doing a claim with the Woolwich and whilst they are perhaps 'less obstinate' they are still a bank and trying to keep hold of some else's money.

 

They may have got their act together (they must get so many letters every day) and worked out how much they will have to give back and thought they'd get in first and hope he didn't know any better (little do they know)!

 

Again, I agree with Lueeze, send them a reminder that all you want is your statements.

[ranader]

I agree with you both.

 

Unfortunately I think he was so surprised to be offered so suddenly a sizeable amount of money he had written off a long time ago that he signed on the dotted line and is not now interested in pursuing the matter.

 

I was quite appalled that he did not wait to get his statements to be honest.

 

I am guessing that if the woolwich are prepared to offer so much then he must have been charged a four figure sum and I did advise him accordingly.

 

I would certainly recommend that everyone waits for their statements and claims all that is properly owing.

 

Good luck to all.

Hi There,

I'm New To This And Got As Far As A Letter Received From The Woolwich Stating They Are Willing To Offer Me £1,000.00 Even Though I Am Claiming Nearly £5,000 In Charges. I Have Already Sent Them Lba And Thye Know That I Will Now Be Seeking The Full Amount Requested Through The Small Claims Court.

 

I Am Now Stuck! What Stage Do I Take Now? I Do Not Want To Sod It Up! Someone Please Help Me!

 

IS THERE ANYONE THAT HAS NOT RECEIVED THEIR CHARGES BACK AND LOST THE CASE?

 

Thanks!

If the last letter you sent was the LBA, then you need to issue a claim. Do you know how to do this?
