Tigg Vs Nasty Vest, Won

[tigga_1961]

I have just checked online at the last 3 months statements and the nasty vest has eaten 14 lots of charges at £38 a time , and i want them all back, on wednesday they even took a charge from my tax credits which has left me up that brown creek without a paddle, ive emailed and they are looking into it so fingers crossed will get that back or kids are having beans on toast for easter hols. I know they are snowed under at the mo, but am i bovvered no, did they give a hoot when i was losing my house and they still kept charging me, ? no they werent bovvered so guess what guys they can be 6ft under a pile of poop at the mo but i want my charges back, and i WILL get them and the last 3 months have been quite good months so god knows what the rest of the statements show, 14 x3=532.00 bring on the good times :p

Tiggas post just proves that the banks do not give a s@@@ about their customers-all they look at is the bottom line on trhe balance sheet and the return to their shareholders.

 

I would have thought that with all of the bad publicity and court cases at the moment that they might at least think about these charges prior to them being levied.

 

But I suppose that they are all generated by some super computer and as such the human element has been completly removed from high street banking.

 

How I long for a return to the days when you could go to your branch and actually speak to the Manager face to face rather having to go through a call centre situated 5 miles of the cost of Africa-at least the Manager used to get to know his customers and thereby also knew their situation so he could then judge each request on its merits rather than basing a decision on some scorecard created by faceless individuals.

 

What would Mr Mainwaring make of this state of affairs?

Wooooo Hooooo Go Ppman. Fine true words. Fine my fella.

 

But its all about patience................. I know its difficult, Ive got nails bitten down the woody stuff, but you will all get your money. Its about dedicating the time reading as much on here as posso, and then pursuing with a vengeance like no other. And you will win............. Just hang in there, and do everything by the book.

I just wish that I had heard about this site at the time that I first wrote to Nut West-I could then have put a bit more aggression into my claim than I have to date.

 

Still every day that passes is one step nearer to me getting my hands on my money.

[fendyweather]

Aggression is an understatement on here.......... we got enough of it to bring to the banks to their knees on this one........... Yaaaaaaaaaaay me. xxxx

[tigga_1961]

totally agree fendy agression is def and understatement, but at least the petition is now up and running so hopefully someone will sit up and take note...and rid us of the horrid charges which have helped to wreck my life.fingers crossed i get them back cos revenge would sure taste sweet

[tigga_1961]

I have today recieved this email from Stephen Dix at cru,

 

 

Thank you for your further e-mail.

 

Although I would like to help you with your request I regret that we

will

require details of all the charges you are disputing altogether.

Is this correct as i wished to claim the 6 months worth of charges which i can access online and then dispute the remainder when i get the statements? the total for 6 months is £494, which would be very usefull an early reply would be appreciated if anyone knows the answer..

[alf]

would it not be easier to claim all together? i know someone who claimed on the same account twice, the 2nd time they had a warning, from natwest saying that they might close their account, they didn't though and she did get the money back.

[tigga_1961]

thank you for the reply Alf, hope it works i dont mind if they close my account as i have a parachute on ready.

[tigga_1961]

THE OFT KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THE BANKS ARE DOING, BUT HAVE THEY GOT THE BOTTLE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT?

[tigga_1961]

Hi all, well im still awaiting statments from nat west its been almost 4 weeks now and i remembered i had an acct with ybs from dec 99-dec 05 which had charges taken from it i cant remember my acct number and as ive moved several times i have no paperwork with this on either, anyway i decided to bite the bullet and send sar, with acct opening details and previous names and addresses etc so that is going in the post tomorow, i know they didnt tan me as much as nasty vest but hey its my money. wish me luck and mods sorry if this is in the wrong place i tried to post in other institutions but it wouldnt let me, please move if need be, tigg x

[tigga_1961]

update...statements have been audited and the grand total of my claim is £3140, which is less than i thought but more than the nasty vest should have so hopefully as it is less than 5k, it wont take too long to settle, but with my luck anything can happen surely something has to go right once in my lfe, heres hoping anyway..

[Parkvale]

Good luck. Onwards and upwards. Pot luck whether they settle quick or slow, but one thing is sure you will get your money back.

At the moment, if you are not claiming interest, Nat West are making offers to repay all the charges pretty well straight away (at least they were last week - they do change their minds quite a bit). If you want interest as well, you will have to figt for it right up to fixing a court date. Then NW will back down and payup - a bit frustrating but it's a game of 'chicken' they like to play.

 

I noticed in your first post that you were corresponding by e-mail. presumambly from now on you will stick to the Prelim req/LBA/court claim route - it is the most effective.
