I have as a matter of course kept my last six years of statements. I have been setting up a business in the last four years and have an authorised overdraft of £2000. I have incurred many costs to the tune of nearly £1000 - what interest can be claimed. Do i include interest debited at the end of each month as well as all the charges in my prelim letter?

 

kind regards - brilliant website!

Hi gary and welcome to the site.

 

There are 2 options to you here with regards interest.

 

The first is to wait until you fill in your court claim and then claim 8% (as under s 69.) If you send the bank a letter before you have given them time to pay up demanding 8% APR they will know that you do not know what you are doing and this will more than likely end up with you NOT getting your money back.

 

 

Or claim at the interest rate they charge you from your first letter.

 

I am now doing the latter with my credit card and storecards.

 

Hope this helps

Have sent preliminary leter to halifax claimimg charges and interest amount as in prelim template letter, got the standard response - offered me £37.50 out of total of £675 + £69 interest charges. Have now replied with lba as not response i required am i right to include the schedule of charges and the interset again. this is a little confusing as some threads state dont send interest amount unti court claim but the prelim letter and lba have the said amounts as £XXX's. Assuming that because they have made me an offer they know they are in the wrong. They also state that there will be no more refunds. Have I cocked things up by sending the template letters with interest calculated? Have sent LBA today.

You can't legally claim the 8% interest until you get to the stage of issuing county court proceedings but don't worry too much about it.

 

Make sure you do give them enough time though ie 14 days prelim and 14 days lba.

Just the FAQ’s ma'am. Please read 'em thoroughly before jumping in. Cheers :)

What interest have you asked for the 8% you add on when you submit the court claim? or interest that they have charged you for having failed direct debits or whatever? If its the 8% then that is only added when you take out the court summons.I suggest you read the FAQs and spend a few days reading some of the threads before going much further otherwise you are going to get yourself in a pickle

I have read threads until they come out of my ar*e, the interest i have mentioned is 8% of overdrawn charges i.e £25 8% over XXX number of days since the charge - is this correct? The prelim letter has blanks to fill these in and encourages you to send a schedule, reiterated in the LBA template.My prelim letters and LBA focus on the charge refund issue mainly as the templates state. I sent LBA today as I got a reply from prelim today stating that the offer of £37.50 was final and no further refunds would be offered. If we do not here from you in the next 8 weeks we will close the file, blah.....

You have threads coming out of your arse? I'd get to the doctors mate, I had a dog with that problem once....

 

Forget the 8% interest for the time being... that was my fault for mis reading the question... You can claim the interest that has been charged to you as a result of these charges from the outset. If you sent the LBA today it doesn't really matter anyway... wait the 14 days then start your county court claim (at which point you can add the 8% interest to the total amount). Have you used the excel spreadsheet to work out your figures... this should include the formula to make this calculation for you.

Just the FAQ’s ma'am. Please read 'em thoroughly before jumping in. Cheers :)

'I calculate that you have taken £675 plus £69.67 which you have charged me in overdraft interest for the sum which you have taken. Total £744.67.

I am enclosing a copy of the schedule of the charges, which I am claiming. I have already sent you a copy of this in my original letter of the 23rd June 2006'

 

 

Yes have used the excel spreadsheet to work the figures for charges and interest which i have included in the LBA. I have stuck to the LBA wording rigidly so this focuses on reclaiming the charges plus interest if they continue with negative action. Hope i'm right the letter has gon recorded delivery now!!

I am claiming £770 back from Halifax Credit Card corresponding to Fife in Scotland. Have been through prelim, LBA etc and their time was up on Friday (after offering various low amounts). Although letter header is for Pitreavie, Dunfermline, Fife (where statements came from) it also shows Halifax head office address in Halifax at the bottom, do I file a claim through moneyclaim or small courts. Ive heard moneyclaim addresses have to be in England or Wales for both claimant & defendant, or do I file against Halifax address and let them pick up the pieces? Any help appreciated.

 

gary. :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

You have a choice. Moneyclaim is considered more convenient by some, but doing it in person can allow you more details on the Particulars of claim, and also allows you to include a copy of the spreadsheet of charges with the claim, something you can't do with the online version.

 

Both cost the same.
