Statement request poll

[ollie64]

OK,

 

A quick straw poll to see which method is getting the best results for requesting past statements.

[rivendale0506]

I have actually sent a DPA request (by registered post - received by them 3 March) and sent a chase up email....... still waiting............

[redbird]

I went into my local Halifax this morning to request statements and was informed by the cashier that they should be with me with a couple of days as it was an 'immediate response' request.

 

All my fingers are crossed

[ollie64]

I note that some of you have handed in your request letters to your local branch. I posted all my correspondence (1st class, recorded delivery) to Halifax, Trinity Road. I have received exactly no response from them. Will this affect my claim?

 

I am now 3 days from filing court action, shouln't they have contacted me at least once?

[alanfromderby]

It is nothing strange - if they don't respond just file your claim, they can't ignore it forever.

[Tinkerbelle]

Hey that's brilliant news for you! Just go ahead and file your claim. I take it you know how much you need to claim back?

 

They should've at least contacted you, but I guess they are snowed under!

[sean frampton]

My claim was filed on 26/05/06 and before that i had not had one response from the bank, still haven`t

 

Good luck and claim away.

Hi,

 

I'm claiming £282 from the Halifax. I've got to the stage where I've filed a court claim against them.

 

This morning they wrote and offered £60.00 "as a good will gesture".

 

I want to hold out for the full amount, what should I do? Do I ring and accept the 60 and persue the remaining £222 through court? Do I reject the £60 outright?

 

Any help would be great, cheers.

[Guest Lueeze]

id reject the 60 and hold out as you have filed now, so you are entitled to a refund and costs!

[ollie64]

So, do I need to even acknowledge that they've offered me the 60 quid?

[Spiceskull]

Personally I wouldn't bother. They had 4 weeks and more to offer and/or settle. They opted to let you raise a claim instead. It's now their problem (and worry) not yours.

 

The fact that they have offered such a measly amount will not impress the judge if it gets that far...which it won't.

 

As LouLou says, the claim is in progress now - let the bank sort it out.

 

Good luck.

[ollie64]

The letter I received today ends with "If I don't hear from you in the next eight weeks then I will assume you are happy"

 

Is he taking the p*ss?

[Spiceskull]

Ignorant assumption is the most dangerous weapon of all...he certainly won't be waiting eight weeks to know your answer...

Obviously you mean 26 April? :grin:

[mim22070]

How many days should you leave after asking for the charges back? In the letter I sent it mentioned that I expect the bank to reply within 14 days, so should I file a claim after 14 days?

[rbrears]

Yes

[MondeoST24]

They ignored all mine too, then suddenly when I sent a claim form they decided its good to talk

[Tinkerbelle]

hahaha

[ollie64]

Just to give you all a bit of encouragement I'll tell you that I got my money back last week. I found patience and regular referrals to this site helped me through.

 

Thanks to all those who helped me. I'm now going to fill in the survey.

[bram stoker]

Congratulations and well done. I merged your threads in relation to Halifax. Unfortunately the poll has been drawn in as it was in the Halifax forum. Am currently trying to pull this out.

 

Once again, well done.
