How long do they have to respond once you send claim in?

Did you go all the way? Or did they offer after 2 weeks?

Have just had chat with nice lady at Natwest who tells me my claim is being "validated" and I will hear by June 7th at the absolute latest. Tried to coax her into telling me how much I'm going to get (claiming nearly £5k) but she wouldn't say, just that in general people are being made offers...

That is still a long way off isnt it? 7 June. I am also claiming quite a bit of Natwest so its nice to see that they are dealing with the big claims. I want the whole lot back nothing less.

well done!! i wonder if anyone here has had much luck with First Direct?

on more q Cath and I will stop bugging you and allow you the glory of poking them in the eye without being hassled.

Which dept did you write to? Was it main cust service address? I dont know where to send my letter to!
Its all written out, cheque ready, envelop and stamp, but no address as yet!

Have sent it recorded. Will keep you posted!

feelingold - no probs, i sent mine to my actual branch but the rest of the communication was through h/o. Let us know how it goes!

Just phone the bank to ask where to send it - they said I dont need to, they can do it over the phone. She was really lovely, knew exactly what I wanted and why without me saying a word, and apologised for the fact they will be 'several' weeks arriving as they currently have a backlog of requests!!

Have you got good plans Cathcart for how you will use the money? Are you going to be sensible and pay off debts/save/invest or are you going to treat yourself/both? You should have a bit of it to splurge I reackon!

I say just! I did it the other day after thread here!

maybe someone can help and give me advice what to do
for some reason i overdraw my bank by £2.20
i now owe them over £400 and i have paid abit back
what shall i do

bump

just saw this mummy, why do you owe them £400 for just being £2 overdrawn? If it is because of the charges mounting up then speak to someone at your branch, if it is a one off then mayne they will overlook it. A lot of the time the charges are just made by the system so if you have been charged this much then you need to find out why. If you have no luck then put it in writing. See moneysavingexpert.com for proper advice - i'm no expert!
good luck.

thanks cathcart will have a look at that website
yes it is cuz the charges are mounting up but i pay some every month

First Direct just coughed up nearly all of mine too - ahem £3000 worth (yes, norty girl over the last 6 years, but lots of er, mitigating cirumstance to my mind)
