Hi Kate, I am just waiting for may mortgage statement to arrive from the Portman and then I will be posting them the initial letter which is all drafted and ready to go. Good luck with yours!

Hi Rob, unfortunately I don't have any personal advice for you however I have just been charged a £3200 ERC by the Portman so I will be sending my letter shortly. I have just been spending a few days finding my way around this site and reading the various threads - trying to find the one I need to be on!! I'll be interested to see how you get on . Hope to post my letter soon. Good luck

Yes thanks for that reminder!

Hi , has anyone made a claim against the Portman ( previously the Staffordshire ) I would like to claim back an ERC of approx £4000 from the Portman and would like to hear from anyone who has made a claim. Thanks

thanks for that... i'm just finding my way around so will take your advice!

Hi, Its so encouraging to read all your messages. I am thinking about making a claim for an ERC of about £4000 to Portman. I didn't realise these charges were illegal until I was sent an email from Motley Fool. Good luck everyone!!

Hi , I am new to this group and saw the site recommended on an email from Motley Fool. I am intending to claim back an ERC of approx £4000 from Portman Building Society. They charged me 5% with 18 months left to on the mortgage. I also intend to make another claim of approx £2000 from the Abbey in 2002. I have as yet not seen any other claims made against the Portman ( previously the Staffordshire) and would be interested to hear from anyone who has made a successful claim.
