Well after loads of nastiness from banks etc im now happy with one. I got my charges back from Halifax. well just gota send the letter off saying i agree.
I claimed just over £400 and got offered £335 this morning. I know people might say persue for the rest, but i havent even got the money to file a claim with money claim, this will enable me to close this account and give me a little petrol money and food money which is desperatly needed. I might even use whatever is lest and that is all im spending on xmas presents this year, cheapo style
It may not seem a lot compared to others but its loads to me and a nice bit of good news. Anyone know how long it takes for an account to be credited once you have sent your signed reply off
woohoo im well chuffed, and theres me cooking stew for tea as its nice and cheap and easy lol
i might get my girlfriend some flowers as a thank you for being like she is lol, soppy git aint i. just pleased really summin has gone right

Good on you Biglad,
For that amount, you probably did right in accepting, and it came at a time when you needed the money - well done.
