this is a great website and i'd firdt likr to dsy i've just had a phone call from the HALIFAX....initially said they cant repay my bank charges.. i dug my heels in and three offers later they coughed up the full amount!!! any way onto the subject at hand.. my questions and NOT personal opinions are. why not give the lanlord hid house back? it is rightfully his, albeit, you've been a great tenant.. if you had loaned something long term to someone and then asked for it back, you are entitled to it surely??? i really do understand the situation is more difficult with your circumstances. reason for my questions above are.. i am currently renovating properties but unfortunately up north near middlesbrough, surely there must be a host of private landlords arounf your area desperate for great tenants like yourself.. if you lived closer to me then i'd surely have you as a tenant.. my concerns for myself are similarly that i may rent out one of my houses, then a couple of years want it in my pssesion again as IT IT MINE AND MY MORTGAGE!! but may come across a difficult sitation of gaining posession with (as someone else qouted "digging your heels in", ............please be aware, the landlord will also be very stressed as it is normal for humans to get frustrated at difficult situations, no matter if your on the recieving end or not!!!! take a look on other websites and hunt for landlords wanting great long term tenants ,, hope you get sorted, singingpigs.co.uk is good for investors but must also provide contacts for those with houses in your area!! regards

repsonse to bank action group. i am kindly aware of the support and advice you offer and have already instigated letters and phone calls to the bank (halifax). i offered someone 25% to do all the very time consuming ground work which i anticipated. looking back now i know it will take alot of time and effort but i am keen to get this money back!!!! thanks again!!

i'm new to this bank action group and am looking to recoup some charges from halifax that will probably run into quite a few 100 of pounds over the last six years (maybe even sneak upto (600-900). anyone out there willing to help recover costs if i pay them 25 percent? deal or no deal? cheers mark
