I did not need to input the charges into the spreadsheet, they already sent a breakdown of charges to me in initial letter. I should send that back to them and say these charges are unlawful?

codswallop

no 'penalty' charge are lawful.

 

 

sri I was a small screen earlier

 

 

you need to put each charge on its own row in the statint sheet

you are entitled to statint @ 8% on any unlawful penalty

until they settled.

Hello,

 

What is the stanint sheet? Is that the spreadsheet mentioned earlier?

 

Once the charges are calculated with interest, what is the process? I presume asking them for charges back as they are unlawful will not work, I presume there is a more sophisticated method?

Any idea on what covering letter to send?

 

If I send them a letter saying, I have been charged xx and these are unlawful, I'm pretty sure the next reply from them will be " they are not " or something to that effect

The charges only have to be unfair not unlawful, but you have to do your homework and find them (they are there)

I have a breakdown of charges in my SAR

 

A lot of charges are missed payment fee's, telephone, letter fee's etc

can you claim back the charges for interest on arrears?, what seemed odd is I was ordered to pay £50 per month off my arrears but they then added something in the region of £450+ per month in these interest charges.

you can reclaim the arrears charges, visits, letter, phone, debt visits any fixed sum penalty fee

all at their int rate

use the CISHEET

Another thing they do, is charge a penalty i.e letter or phone then add it to your debt and charge you interest on it this deemed unfair and often missed, so the penalty of say £35 could easily double over a few years

 

Yes, I have all that in spreadsheet, what I'm struggling with is a covering letter to send them?

 

Surely saying these charges are unlawful etc they will just throw it in the bin, I'm sure plenty of people complain about the charges

 

Maybe I'm missing something here, what should the covering letter contain?

I paid over £400 in arrears the other day, and they sent me a final settlement figure of circa £2.7k, which probably mostly consists of charges now

 

There was also a mention of buildings insurance, I don't remember this?

 

Any ideas? I keep dragging my feet on sending them a letter regarding charges, but I presume it's not as simple as " You charged me this, I want it back "
