MSE News: Halifax to repay £500m to 300,000 mortgage holders

onetreehillgrrl

I have just received a letter today saying I will receive £850 goodwill payment. Probably been asked before (sorry), but can I request a cheque for this amount? Thanks

I got a letter yesterday informing me of a goodwill payment of £1115.
I phoned this morning and asked for a cheque and the answer was no problem. They will take any arrears off the amount and pay the balance. It will take up to 14 days though but thats ok. Because the mortgage is a joint one they will split the amount 50 50.

Hi

Ok so the "goodwill" payment is NOT a refund, so where is the refund of the money that was overpaid? Wouldn't get too carried away with all this, at the end of the day they wouldnt just give everyone money if they hadnt done anything wrong!

Great feeling, isn't it?

I have a joint account and have been told the chq will under both names. Bit of a pain as we don't have a joint account - any suggestions? I have been told to write in but really wanted to get this sorted quickly

thanks

Have not received the letter yet, but did notice my mortgage balance dropping when I checked online. I called them up yesterday and they confirmed that I have received £3,050 of goodwill payment. I also requested to have this payment made to me by cheque which was not an issue, she said that it will take apprx up to 14 days for me to receive the cheque :j :j

still have not received the letter but have received the cheque that I requested two days ago :T :T Thank you Halifax :T :T
