Making the bank an offer?

Hi, does any one have any experience of making the bank an offer? I am currently going through the courts (day 6 and they have just acknowledged) to reclaim £4650 from Abbey:mad: . I currently have a £3900 o/d with them. all i want is this bank account gone. do you think it would be a silly thing to offer the bank to close the account have no futher contact with me. What do you People Recon???:confused:

Cheers

    Not sure what you are asking here.

    Keep your claim in with the court - it could take a few months to finalise but in the end you will get your o/d cleared and some cash to spare!

    If you are looking for a new bank try https://www.rbs.co.uk - you can apply on line.

    Personally I'd not accept anything less than £4000 (based on your info here)
    Got It & Spent It :dance:
    IKEA CARD = £120 charges = £175 received (146%)
    MARBLES = £450 charges = £370 received (82%)
    I.F. = £494 charges = £494 received (100%)
    CAPITAL ONE = £981 charges = £1,489.03 (152%)
    BARCLAYCARD = £580 charges = £786.12 (136%)
    On Hold :mad:
    A+L = £722 charges (target = 147%)
    BARCLAYS = £1,405 charges (target = 128%)
    BARCLAYS = £175 charges (target = 140%)
    ABBEY = £3,220 charges (target = 148%)
  • Cheers, so you reckon its a know to making them this offer
