I keep saying I'm going to do this but never seem to find the time - so - I've just printed the info off moneysavingexpert and I'm going to draft the first letter.
Anyone else need a kick up the arse to do this???
Wish me luck

Thanks

Good luck. Since March -

4 letters and 3 phonecalls to Natwest - no response still

4 letters to Goldfish, due to take to court now

5 letters to Lloyds TSB, just put the court claim in yesterday

Very long winded and boring, basically they just ignore you for as long as possible in the hope I guess that you will go away. There are meant to be set timescales for them to provide information and respond but they don't care and thers sod all you can do about that aspect! Do not give up though.

Thanks

littlemiss - I wrote to the Abbey months ago and they've sent me all my bank statements for the past six years so I can check the bank charges.

have I done it?

No!

I really need a kick on this one too

Thanks

I did with HSBC and Rbs, got £450 back from both so well worth it ... They are a bit slow to respond, i think because they have been inundated but keep sending letters!!!

Thanks

Poptot - how recent was that? I heard on the news a couple of weeks ago that Abbey were now refusing to reimburse people
