Lots of people have gone further than this with their claim. Nationwide have not yet taken one case into a court hearing (they have settled every claim out of court). Don't be too worried, you have got the upper hand.

Having looked through the forum, it seems to me that there aren't many successes against Nationwide.

Is that because they don't have many account holders, or does anyone know of any instances where the Building Society have won.

I only ask because I am at the 14 day letter stage, and want to go forward with my eyes wide open.

If you look on the consumer action group forum/nationwide you'll find a lot of success stories. I got my charges back from NWide - very straightforward if you follow the process. Nearly £3k appeared in my bank 7 days after I filed with MCOL.

they did close my account but made a bit of a mess of it. I'd calculated that I'd have only a £1 or £2 left in on the date they wanted to close it. However, they issued a cheque to me with the balance the day before, and a debit came off that day. I went in to the branch to return the cheque and pay the £20 balance but was told the account was now closed and the £80 written off. So as well as the £3k I was £140 better off!!!

Even better - they paid a standing order a week after the account was closed! Again I went into the branch and was told - good for you, you're quids in!

I'll really miss the NWide staff....but not the charges!

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Good luck - haven't heard of anyone not winning!

Hi All well i am also going through it with nationwide,i sent the initial letter off 10 days ago and today i recieved a letter saying there not paying me any off the charges,so today i wrote the second letter threatening them with the courts,do you think it will go this far ? They only owe me £300 thats all not thousands.

Should i wait until i get the letter from them and then start ?And how do i go about issuing a court claim,sorry i sound thick but this is all new to me Thanks

Hi there, I submitted my claim on MCOL. Nationwide have acknowledged it but have said they will defend it.

I have 2 claims against them and the total value is quite large; with interest added over £6K.

Should I be worried and what advice does anyone have?

I received the letter saying they acknowleged it on the 1st Feb.

Does anyone have any experiences of this??/

further to your question, you should be seeing an amount credited to your account any day now cos you are one day behind me
