    The response to my first letter sent out on the 13th Feb said the same but the response to the second letter received on the 15th March said that they would get back to me by the 12th April.
    So happy reclaiming.

    Exactly the same for me too, letter from Colin.....even down to the dates of our letters too! As my first claim with Nat West went along so easily in just 3 weeks from start to finish, I was kinda hoping this was going to be settled quickly too......getting anxious now!

    Don't worry about the OFT ruling, it is not likely to affect us - especially if you get to the MCOL stage first.

    What is this new ruling please ???????????????

    Thanks, Helen

    Its a report on the OFT findings from an investigation into bank charges - no ruling - just a report. It should be out in the next few weeks....but really don't worry about it.

    good morning all xx

    just got my letter this morning from Colin Langdale HSBC,:j thanking me for my letter dated on the 7th march concerning my bank charges.

    he says, iam looking into the matters you have rasied and will contact you with a full response as soon as i have completed my investigations.

    in the meantime,i enclose a copy of our leaflet which explains how thes matters are dealt with.

    are all the letters he sends out the same?cause i read on a different forum,that that peson got a letter the same as mine but was told that he should hear from them by april:confused: there was no date mention in my letter.
    so i was just woundering if all the letters they send out are the same or different??

    so fingers crossed for me that i hear from them soon,do i start counting down the days from when the letter was sent out to me(19th march) or todays date which is the day i got this letter??

    thanks clarex
    My letter was the exact same as yours and i also got the leaflet, which had absolutely nothing about reclaiming bank charges on. Just get your next letter written out and ready to send for when your deadline runs out.

    Have sent off my first letter off today requesting charges of £609 plus interest of £183.52 totaling £792.52 be refunded to my account, I have online banking so have was up till 2am yesterday totalling up all my charges and getting really more and more frustrated.

    Can anyone who has claimed for charges against HSBC let me know how far they had to go before they got their money refunded.

    Will let you know what happens in the next 14 days.
    How do you look online over the last six years? I cant seem to do it online, and i believe the statements they sent me had been doctored to appear as though charges were charged after the date they were actually charged.

    Having read thro most of the threads, it looks like I sent my first letter to the wrong address. I sent mine to Prescot Street.

    (It was posted on 26 Feb, so still time for the Abbey to reply.)

    Has anyone who did the same and sent their ltr to Prescot St received their copy statements?

    Started to recieve my statements today, but have only got 1 year so far. Added up the charges and it was £1300!!

    Hi Gimfunk

    After you have logged into your online banking, select the bank account that you want to look at (If you have more than 1 account with them) and on the left hand side of the screen in the grey banner it shows

    My accounts
    My transactions
    My statements
    My charges
    summary
    Make a payment
    Account details
    Standing Orders
    and Direct Debits
    Stop a cheque
    Send me
    my PIN

    Select my statements and it shows you your statements from last month to January 2006, select the month you want to see by highlighting it and clicking continue. If you want to go back further than these dates select "Next Set" and it should show 2005's statements, select "Next Set" again and it will show 2004 etc etc
  • Hi Peeps,

    Well I finally received my AQ from the courts, 2 days before I could file judgement by default :mad:

    Anyway, will send it off tomorrow with my £100.

    What happens next. More delays? Court Appearance?

    Thanks in advance
    Proud to be dealing with my debts ONE day at a time
