Bev, no you can sit tight and wait for the offer letter to arrive. Make sure you cross out any clauses that may be attached to it and you win.

Thanks for your reply & welcome!!!
Was hoping that was the case - as I had a bit of a runaround trying to get my statements- time to start the countdown then !!! :whistle:

I know all about that, but things are improving as 6 months ago you would have had to go to court to get your money back. Much easier albeit i am a fan of suing the bank if they do not respond within your deadline, but i can understand that sometimes it can be awfully scary.
You need to take advantage of the rest of the forum as well. Amazing what things you can learn.

bev309

Yeah - it's not so much the fact that it would be scary to go to court (although I would rather not obviously!!), its the fact that it seems to take around the same timescale to go down the County Court route, with a lot more hassle & money outlay, when you can just be patient & get paid out anyway.
I shall be looking at the rest of the site when I have some time, I am sure that there are a whole load of moneysaving tips I can pick up on here!!!!

Bev, recently someone who had been almost beaten into submission chatted to me in a chatroom on another charges forum and kept going and sued the bank, and they got paid out over £16k and they are now taking the bank on for pre 6 year charges. A tougher discipline but again they are having problems with getting their information because the bank are CLAIMING they only hold data for 6 years which i know is rubbish.
I have picked up a whole load of tips from here and so the site has so much to learn. I need to be awake 24 hours a day just to read it all!!!

I am in the process of claimimg bank charges from natwest of £3800 with out interest. I started in march. on saturday i recieved a letter from natwest offering me £3200 as a good will gesture, since i first started natwest have been adding more charges to my account, can i ask for these back or do i have to make a new claim. I dont know what to do accept this offer or ask for the full payment. i f i total up all the charges to date i come up to about £4500 can any one help

k1mmie

Maybe you could send them a letter stating that you are prepared to accept this offer as a part payment on the basis that further charges have been added along with a list of the additional charges.

angel7_2

Thaks for the advice I have just posted the letter requesting the full amount and the extra charges that have been added to my account since i started my claim. Ill keep you posted:rotfl:

Well - I took Natwest to court, dealt with Cobblers, and now am STILL waiting for a local County Court date. I'm sick to death of the whole business, and wish I'd gone to the Ombudsman instead. This has been going on since February, and i could badly do with the money they owe me.

Court? Never again.

Pam dont get despondent. I know it is easy for others to talk. I am not sure it is the court rather than just 'sod's law ' Some seem to get paid out so much quicker
Has any one else got advice for you surely there is something to hurry Nat West up.
