halifax bank charges (merged)

I cannot believe it.

£1,674.00 paid up


Just rang Halifax and spoke to such a lovely lady . Mentioned that it's a lot of money to lose £548.00 and wasn't happy. Did also mention that if it went to court I wouldn't have to pay.

She didn't have to go away and speak to someone else and said OKay we'll pay the full amount.

YES,YES,YES.:T

Money should be in our account by next friday. Oh my god, i feel like screaming with joy.


Thankyou sssoooo much to everyone on this site and goodluck to all those who are still in the process.

Stick to your guns:o

I will continue to read all these threads and give advice as much as I can.

Thankyou all once again:cool:

For the record here was my progress

27th December - Rang for 4 1/2 years of statements ( paid £5.00 )
02nd January - Received 42 envelopes through the post
02nd January - Sent off my 1st letter to our local branch
05th January - Letter from branch to say, forwarding to Leeds
15th January - Sent 2nd letter to Leeds stating reference number
22nd January - Sent 3rd letter which outlines all info + interest charges.

Whilst actioning my 3rd letter, unknown to myself halifax was trying to contact me via our home . ( dodgy b.t. line at moment ).

23rd January - letter dated 22nd January offering £1,126.00. Rang and said no and they paid up £1,674.00:T


So to speak to took me just under 4 weeks of work. Well worth it.

I contacted the Halifax a week before christmas in regards to bank charges, I was told they would reply to me within a week. A got a reply on the 27Dec, to inform me they were looking into it, i rang them and they told me it would take a week, and rang back again and was told they had until the 24th January(tomorrow) to resolve the matter. Today i received a letter informing me that they were still investigating my complaint and i will receive a response no later than 21st feb. Do i have to wait until that date or would i be able to send them a letter threating court action????
Please Help Total bank charges so far are £2000.00 and they are still adding charges on.

Don't phone, put everything in writing. Send off your letter before action and keep to your timescale.
