Just send the second letter as per Martins template. You don't need to change anything.How many surrealists does it take to change a lightbulb?

'thank you for your letter requesting a refund of £680.00' blahh blahh blahh......' Terms and conditions.....blah blah blah'..........
'HSBC are however prepared to payback £585.00 as a final settlement'.
Where do they pluck these figures from and what should i do next?
Looking at all the offers, it seems that they are working on the basis of offering you about 85% of your claim (not including any interest).
I received my offer yesterday - £885 offered on a claim of £1035.0 -
Hello everyone.
Im just about to start this process, and im ready to send off my letter asking for a detailed list of the charges. Ive just looked on my internet banking and ive paid £150 in charges since august 2006, so by rough estimate it seems they could owe me up to £1800.
Does anyone know where to send the initial letter, asking for a detailed list of all charges?
Thanks0 -
I also had the letter from Mr Langdale asking for a breakdown....
He would have recieved the letter Monday... any ideas how long the wait is until you get a letter back or an offer?
Also does anyone have a contact number for this Leeds address?0 -

Stick to the timetable that you have set, if they do not reply within the timeperiod that you have set then move onto the next stage.0 -

After sending my statements, I got the request for the breakdown of charges on the 6th of January. I responded with the breakdown, and statements again, that arrived with HSBC on the 9th of January. I received a letter from our friend Mr Langdale yesterday (16th) saying that he was looking in to the matter and would give me a full response on completing his investigation.
On the advice of other members, I will ignore this letter and pursue the first court threat, 14 days from the 9th of Jan.
Hope that helps.0 -
I got the same letters back and finally got a response on friday, i was claiming £635 and the offered me £540 which i have excepted as i dont think its worth all the hassle and waiting for an extra £95. apparently takes about 7days for the money to be credited0
