Hi All,
I was set to meet Nationwide in Court on 14th February to reclaim 2014.05 in illegal charges.
They finally contacted me today to settle in full.
The letter reads
“Dear Mr Clay
Re: Clay –v- Nationwide Building Society
Claim No. 5KH07357
Further to my letter of 31 January, I have now received further instructions in respect of your claim.
The cost to Nationwide of arranging representation at the hearing on 14 February makes it uneconomic for us to continue to defend your claim. For this, and no other, reason I am instructed to settle your claim, in full.
I enclose a cheque in the sum of £2,014.05 which is made up, as follows :-
Total claim as per claim form 1,877.78
Allocation Fee 100.00
Interest from 1 November 2005 to 14 February 2006 36.28
2,014.05
Please ensure that you notify the court that your claim has been settled, immediately.
Yours sincerely
Charles Bacon
Solicitor
Encs
Cc Hull County Court”
Considering the fact they were using an internal Nationwide solicitor rather than an independent I think this is a seriously thin argument!
This is my second victory. The first was for a similar amount against another high street bank. However they insisted on a confidentiality agreement and as I was desperate for the money I agreed!
I would like to thank Bob Egerton for his amazing support and assistance. Bob, you are a real gentleman and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I am happy for this information to be disseminated freely and wish all other claimants a successful settlement.
All the best
Gary Clay
