HELP!

 

My court date is tomorrow for my bank charges. At the 11th hour, Lloyds have paid the money into my account, HOWEVER, they have taken further bank charges since I put in my court claim so the money they have paid me is short of the total amount.

 

I spoke to Lloyds' solicitors today (who have requested I cancel tomorrows court date) and I told them I want the other charges that Lloyds have taken since I put in my claim.

 

The solicitors told me that I could not ask for them and I would have to put in for another court claim to get them back, as I had nothing on my claim that said I wanted on going charges refunded also.

 

Now, I trust Lloyds' solicitors about as far as I can throw them, so what I want to know is, is this true or can I push them for the money?

 

Please help, the clock is ticking!

 

Yours gratefully in advance,

 

Dan

For once, Lloyds sols are right. You can't just add to the total of the claim without applying to the court, which is obviously to late to do now. If they've paid the total amount of the claim as it appears on your claim form, its game over I'm afraid.

Congrats!!!

And when you get your money, make sure you put a bit aside for your claim fee for the next one, and get that prelim sorted for the new lot of charges.

 

You'd think they'd learn, wouldn't you...

Congratulations, talk about last minute!!

Are you going to start again for the rest of your charges then?
