I was overpaid nearly £500 in Housing Benefit for a tennant in a property of mine, so the council say! This happened 12 years ago, the council are now asking for this to be repaid. They say the last reminder they sent me was in March 1997, the property was sold 8 years ago and I no longer have any accounts regarding the property. As by law I only need to keep accounts for 6 years, I can't be sure whether I owe this money or not. My question is as there was no correspondence from the council since 1997 is the debt now nil and void? thanks for any advice

My son is in Middlesborough County Court tomorrow at 11.00am with the Abbey. What documentation does he need to take with him also he has received a letter from the court saying that Abbey's solicitors are no longer representing them. Any ideas what this means? This saga has been going on for 6 months and would like to clear it all up tomorrow. He's owed just over £1200 in bank charges.

Don,t sign it they will pay up after a week in my case,I asked for £250 to keep quite did,nt get it, they just sent me a cheque for full amount claimed (Cheltenham & Gloucester)

I asked for £250.00 from C&G owned by Lloyds I don,t hold out much hope.But I,ll be happy just to get my money back

I,m from Burnley, banks beware

Just PM you Bankfodder

The bank have agreed to pay all the charges levied on my account illegally before the court date on April 3rd. But they have put a clause in saying they require confidentiality before they'll pay. Do I inform the court that they have settled? Thanks to everyone will send book token on settlement.

Honestly! you can't be serious should I really start at that?

A certain bank/building society owned by Lloyds TSB has agreed to pay me all my bank charges back. This only took 3 weeks they are now asking for confidentiality my question is how much should I ask for this?

I sent a letter to C&G telling them I,m not happy with there charges as in libary,the letter I got back is THANK YOU FOR LETTER DATED 18TH FEB.TO BRING THIS MATTER TO OUR ATTENTION . YOUR CASE WILL BE PASSED TO ONE OF OUR CASE OFFICERS SHORTLY.THEY WILL INVESTIGATE IT IN FULL AND ISSUE YOU WITH A RESPONSE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE,BUT IN ANY EVENT WITHIN THE NEXT FOUR WEEKS. I do think four weeks is excessive,what do you think? whats the next step? thanks all
