Clan Jessica v Alliance and Leicester

Hi I am about to send of the SAR to the vultures at the A&L who are on the brink of closing my account after I paid off a £1,000 overdraft almost exclusively caused by charges (and maternity leave pay but that's another matter).

 

I am just about to get £2k from the Halifax, it has been relatively easy, although they went to the wire - the offer came in the day before I was due to file at court.

 

So I would be interested to know what the A&L are like, do they go the whole 40 days and string it all out, or are they a bit more flexible?

 

Thanks

From what you say about Halifax A&L are similar.

On day 39 the statements arrived - now I have a question. Can I count the £5-£25 items called 'overdraft payment' as well as the ones marked 'unauthorised overdraft payment'? That's something the halifax doesn't have.

hiya

 

you can claim the £25 unauthorised overdraft charge, but if the £5 is a monthly "fee" for overdraft facility then you can't claim that one back

 

you can claim

 

unpaid cheque charge

unpaid dd charge

paid item charge

unauthorised overdraft charge

 

 

hope it helps
