    Ive no idea how long it is taking them to put the money into the bank account , we sent our acceptance letter back on monday through thier internal mail from our local branch (i dont trust royal mail) . The money still isnt in our bank account yet so getting a bit frustrated with them , they said it would take between 7 and 10 days for the money to be credited but now they have told my hubby it could be upto 14 days . How long does it take to put in some numbers in a computer and press go ? god it annoys me how long they take

    I had this same problem with Halifax. Signed their offer form and sent it back. It said on the form payment would reach my account withing 7-10 days. 2 weeks later I still hadn't received it so I phoned them up to ask where it was and was told that all the acceptance forms were in a big pile and they were doing a few each day but they would get mine out of the pile and do it straight away.
    Checked my bank the next day and they had so if I were you I'd just give them a quick call and nudge them along :D

    Hi all
    Just a quickie about my claim hopefully to get a few views from others on here.

    I am currently claiming back my charges from Natwest i was 1 day away from getting judgement and they have now filed defence :eek: and i am now awaiting a court hearing date.

    What i cant quite get my head around is that a friend of mine who is with the same branch of Natwest as me claimed at exactly the same time as me and for a larger amount, mine being £2000 and hers being £3400 yet she has had all hers settled in full? I am pleased for her just wondered why natwest would pay larger amounts in full yet defend a smaller amount.

    Has anyone else actually got to going to the hearing stage with Natwest? I did a search but couldnt find anything.

    Anyone any ideas on how long its taking the courts to set a hearing date? Sent my AQ off a couple of weeks ago and the cheque has been cashed so I know it got there!

    Delivering it by hand would be a much safer option as a lot of banks are claiming they haven't received letters...I know royal mail can be pains at times but they aren't that bad.

    As for addressing it to someone, I didn't on my letters, I just put the address of the bank on but I suppose if you addressed it to the manager, it couldn't hurt :confused:

    Good luck!

    just been to the bank and was told that they dont deal wiyh this at the branch this would be dealt with at boreham wood
    thankfully the cashier gave me a photocory of my letter as a recipt and said it would be forewarded to the correct department

    ive got over £6,000 of outstanding charges witch completly shocked me as i thought i may have £2000 worth 0ver 6 years

    fingers crossed
