Think your prob better doing it as one claim though not to sure. MCOL will cost £250 +£100 for allocation questionaire but you can get it fast tracked. Look at the MCOL website.

Letter received today from the FO saying that they have contacted The Nationwide instructing them to make an offer which meets my claim in full or provide them with information which would reach a conclusion on the merit of my claim. They have six weeks to reply. Hopefully something soon! Fingers crossed. Anyone else in the same boat?

Just an update to let you know whats happening. Decided to go down the Financial Ombudsman road initially as my butt was getting a bit twitchy after Lloyds winning a case!. Have had 2 letters back so far, the first acknowledging reciept of all the information and last week i got one saying my case was awaiting allocation. Anyone else in the same situation or had experience of how long they take?

Got the same letter, i especially like the bit where they say they are grateful for the opportunity to explain the rationale behind their charging policy. A breakdown of the charges would be better, after all thats why we're all on this site! Good luck

Well done, enjoy spending it !!!

Well they have actually aknowledged me this time with the basic get stuffed letter blah blah blah. Should i wait till the 9th of May before isuuing MCOL or go for it now? (9th of May will be 14 days from date recorded letter was signed for)

Thats where i've been sending all mine, however you could perhaps use the northampton address and adress it to the data protection team. ********* Susan Taylor Data protection administrator Nationwide Building Society Data Protection Team Kings Park Road Moulton Park Northampton NN3 6NW

Tell them you will report them immediatly to the information commissioner and the Financial ombudsman if they continue to withhold the statements. The cheque i am assuming has been cashed by the nationwide? Could try calling this number...

You have no idea how spot-on you probably are !!!!! :) :)

Well 14 days has passed and surprise surprise no reply to my prelim letter requesting my charges back. Anyhoo i've printed of my LBA been to the post office and sent it recorded delivery. Even though its only the LBA, theres a slight sense of satisfaction that your not prepared to take their cr*p anymore! Oh well another 14 days before i get the pleasure of submitting my MCOL !! GIMMIE MY £7043 BACK!!!!!!!

Nice one!!!! Nationwide are really turning into the man from their advert! Good luck, im taking them all the way too!

Sent prelim letter on the 05/april/07, 14 days ago, however when i tracked the letter i noticed that they did not receive it untill the 10th. Should i wait 14 days from the 10th before i send my LBA or just send it now? All advice appreciated. Oh im claiming £7043 but the've just hit me for another £350!, should i add this amount into my LBA as well? if so how would i word the amended amount. Using templates from this site.

Good luck, hopefully a bulging bank balance for you soon! When you say sending schedule of charges, whos sending them to him? you or the court?

I'm assuming that if they defend the claim and it goes to my local court, my local court will be the one closest to the address im using for correspondance.

Wouldn't have thought so as the previous claim would be deemed settled.

I live in Scotland but i'm using a relatives address in England for correspondance as thats all MCOL requires if u do not live in England or Wales. Interestingly i phoned Nationwide to find out where my branch was as i'd opened my account online. The nice lady told me i didn't actually have a branch at which im registered so im assuming its head office? Would easily make the trip to England to go to court if i had to anyway, im totally determined to get my cash back! and if they let it go to court its another £1250 in interest! They are turning into the man from their advert, do they not realise its costing them thousands of pounds more in legal costs and interest?

SUPERB!!! Really delighted for you guys. I'm currently claiming £7043, a bit concerned about doing it in one claim via MCOL. Any suggestions?

Just want to know if anyone disagrees with what i'm doing?. I live in Scotland but have an English bank (Nationwide) and am owed over £7000!. What i've decided to do is use a relatives address in England and claim through MCOL. I'm assuming i can do this as MCOL states all im required to have is an address for correspondence in either England or Wales it does not say i'm required to live there. Anyone know of any reason this wont work? (bearing in mind i'm willing to travel to England if required to appear in court, it would be worth it for 7k!)
