Well done to Norwich & Peterborough Building society.....

I sent a 14 day notice of court claim they write back saying that as l disagree with their policies etc that they are going to close my account with-in 30 days and will at that time refund 50% of the charges.

I hope that l can take this tothe financial ombudsman and the OFT because this is

just being vindictive to the extreme.

They have now made me more determined to claim the whole lot from them.

Anyone got any advice l will post the whole content of the letter if needed.

regards

Sadly the closing of accounts seems to be an all too often used form of retalliation by the banks. There is some debate as to whether they are able to do this but it it is best to be prepared for it. Have you already opened another account with some other bank?

 

The good news is that you certainly don't have to give up on the other 50% of your claim. Read the faqs and spend a bit of time looking through some of the other posts and you will find the whole process is actually quite straightforward. I would write back and say you are very disappointed to hear they intend to close etc, than agree to accept the 50% but make it clear this is based on the fact that there are no other provisions or restrictions you must accept in order to take this payment. Go on then and make it clear you regard this as an interim payment and you will continue with your action in order to recover the full amount owed to you.

 

Look through and there are a number of example letters around which have all this but the the jist of it is above.

 

It would be very interesting to see their letter - any chance you could scan it and pm/email it to me or post the text here?

 

Cheers and keep going
