hardcore_alleigh vs halifax ***WON PRE-OFT***

[doo]

Give it another go tomorrow, try this number 0121 234 1068 - Alan Molineux. He was so helpful and settled both my claims, it really does depend on who you get. Good luck.

[hardcore_alleigh]

indeed. spreadsheet at the ready:D

regarding MCOL:

Once you file, they have 28 days from when it is deemed served. (which normally takes around 5 days)

what does this mean in english? they have 28 days to pay up?

[hardcore_alleigh]

ok firstly a maHOOsive thanks to Doo:D for the phone number he/she gave.

i rang the number and asked for Alan but it was his day off today.

so i had a chat with Helen Martin. she looked at my account and told me that yesterday Halifax had authorised £1170 to come to my account within 14 banking days (18th April) and a letter was in the post.

i said i was happy to accept that amount BUT only as part payment towards the full amount i had claimed which is £2224. i said if the rest wasnt authorised then i will be going to court which will incur court costs and interest. she authorised the rest pretty much straight away "to save us both time, effort and paperwork". £1044 is to be with me by 19th April and she assured me it wud be quicker as halifax are paying up quicker due to the amount of court claims.

YIIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEE (although im not quite counting my chickens til they have hatched

Fantasic news!! I wish I had tried that number (I did think about it)!!Instead I got the customer services who were very nice but useless!!

[hardcore_alleigh]

i would give the number doo posted a call. give them your reference number and off you go. keep it simple and straight forward, im sure you will be fine!

[LlinB]

That is brilliant news. Well done!

 

Can I ask you a quick question. I am due to do MCOL next Tuesday but am considering calling on Monday (having seen how successful you have been). You mentioned a reference number - was this in the standard "complaint" reply you had? I'd pretty much ignored that letter and have temporarily (I hope) lost it.

 

Thanks

[valerieanne]

Did you just kindof say: I am at stage of starting court action and would like to see if you would like to settle before I add on my 8% interest?

 

Thanks

 

LlinB My reference number is on standard letter.

[doo]

hey hardcore, good result - congratulations, just glad it worked out for you, must say this number seems to have got a lot of results on here so for anyone else, give it a try.

[change-it]

Well done Hardcore!!

change-it

[hardcore_alleigh]

cheers people!! all thanks to your support, but like i said, not counting my chickens quite yet.

 

doo: that number certainly does appear to be the one

 

Llinb: id ring tomorro (thursday) to let them think about it, and maybe ring again monday before you file if they dont settle initially.

Just say your about to file court claim and would they like to settle now so they dont have to pay court costs and 8% interest.

 

Valerieanne: as above!

 

[hardcore_alleigh]

and another thing i want to add that made me so darn cross today:mad:

i have £7 in my halifax account, for which i have a visa electron card for. i went into the bank to take £5 out so i could grab a coffee and a sarnie for lunch, only to be told that im not permitted to take cash out over the counter anymore and that i must use the cash machines or card machines instores. most small sandwich bars dont let you spend less than £5 when using a card if they have a card machine at all!!

so i missed out on coffee and lunch because i am not allowed to take MY money out of MY account, RRAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH:mad:

[valerieanne]

ok going to call

[valerieanne]

argh... it is being processed at the moment and their will be an offer in post next week!!!

[stevokenevo]

Congratulations on your result alleigh........... hope they are as good as there word.

 

Next time your short of cash for your lunch go here

 

 

They will make sure you dont go hungry ;-)
