halifax bank charges (merged)

Webbo_C

Having sent the Halifax my claim 12 days ago, I have just received a reply thanking me for my complaint and stating that the FSA allows them up to 8 wks to investigate and respond. I presume this is just another tactic??? will someone please confirm that this is the case and that I should now continue with court action.

Thank you in advance

I sent my first letter off requesting statements on the 5th Feb, received letter yesterday saying that the statements would be sent under seperate cover.

The postman kindly delivered me a big fat envelope this morning containing 99 pages of statements! Its going to take me a while to go through them all, got to make a copy of them first and that in its self will take a while to scan them into the pc.

From what i have already glanced at with them there are a fair few charges on there.

OO im getting quite excited by it all now!!!! LOL

Good luck everyone with their claims too.

Hello everyone, this is my first post but I've been using this excellent site for reference and keeping an eye on this thread particularly as I am currently claiming my charges from the Hallifax. Here's my timeline so far :-

22/2 Statements requested for two accounts on the phone. Thanks to https://www.saynoto0870.com you can trace a landline number for 08457 203040 which is 0113 3809574. You dial this from your landline for the cost of a UK call or if like me you have free calls to landlines from your mobile you can ring them up, they can even go away and keep you hanging on for 5 mins and it won't cost you a bean. The fella I spoke to even guessed I wanted 6 years worth of statements.

1/3 Statements arrive

6/3 After some sorting and photocopying claim for £5250 and copies of the statements containing charges are sent 1st class recorded delivery to my local branch. I give them a day for the letter to be delivered so I make the
14th day Tuesday 20th March.

16/3 I have received the standard acknowledgement with the usual 8 weeks to look into your complaint etc. etc. I cannot find out using the track & trace function at the Royal Mail when the package was signed for.

My question to fellow board members and I think I know the answer already, is do I give them 14 days from the date on the letter which is the 15th March or carry on with my own timeline.

Hi bradock, I just noted down the date and amount charged in the space on the template letter and sent that off. I'm sure you dont have to send your statements.
