I wrote to the BOS with alist of my charges£1160 using the template letter giving them 14 days, haven't heard anything yet do I wait longer or just send the next letter giving them 7 days and threatening court. Any help would be appreciated

I would go ahead with the next letter - always stick to your timescales

HSBC

Claimed: £1507
Refunded: £1296

After 6 weeks of letter ping-pong they finally relented today! It really took a lot of persistence, but it paid off!

The Letter Before Action template on here now states 14 days.

It never hurts to err on the side of caution. I hadnt checked and went on posts in other threads.

I shall forthwith state imperiously that 14 days must be observed as per the template in the article so thanks for that

Yes because I informed them that their timelines were incorrect.

As did Bookworm and others. All input is gratefully received by everyone on the forum and thanks to Martin for the update.

after several letters and phone calls since nov i am taking natwest to court can any one tell me can i add any more charges that i have onto the final letter and also can i readjust my interest to the date i start court proceedings many thanks

According to advice on this site the general consensus is that the amount you claim at court stage is 6 years back from that date. You can add any additional charges incurred since the claim began and adjust interest up to the court date.

Good luck

Bank: HSBC
Claimed £3157.56 (including interest)
Awarded: £2399 - the total amount of charges

No messing - offered after one acknowledgement letter and a 4 week holding letter and then an offer of all charges but not the interest...funnily wnough I was more than happy.

Looks likes HSBC are now using a standard letter of sending the charges back on a purely commercial basis - it did make me chuckle and brightened up my rather hungover day yesterday

Just waiting for my girlfriends letter to come back now and it will, hopefully be happy days all round!!
