Have sent halifax the 7day letter last week, so they hv now until thurdays to pay me back. If nothing is heard by thursday night, then do a file a court summons or do i wait a few more days?? Getting worried now ..

I clocked up quite a few charges on my Halifax current account before i started to work for them part-time in 2004. Would it be wrong for me to try and claim back the charges I recieved, seeing as Halifax now pay my salary? I look forward to hearing your replies!

Received offer from Halifax 2nd February which was on the day I was to start court proceedings. Claimed just over £900 (without interest) and they offered just over £800. CAn't say fairer than that as I believe Halifax will have incurred some costs when dealing with my account. Thanks Martin and team for your advice and all those on the forum who were a great help.

hi mate,stick to your timetable and the guidance on here. file your claim on Moneyclaim if they have not settled within your deadline. dont be messed about.

I've read other mails stating their local branch staff frowned on them and were very rude for trying to claim money back. I think if you did you'd be sent to Coventry if staff at your branch found out. Risky I say. I'm surprised you got a job at a bank/society if you mismanaged your accounts in the past.

I had about 3 or 4 charges, so i wouldn't say i managed my accounts that badly! I remember at the interview i was worried what they might think but it obviously wasn't a problem.

from my personal experince with the halifax and from what i have read of others I would actually give them a little bit of leighway with the timescales as they seem to make an offer on the day you are due to file a court claim, thus if you have been a bit too fast on filng a claim like i was, your claim would have been setlled and the money in your account rather than drawing it out trhough court with the possibility of loosing at the end

hi misskitty

Been aware for a week. Just tried to find some of your posts.
