Claiming Bank Charges back/Abbey

What a shambles trying to claim bank charges back from Abbey. They have said no, so Abbey I am taking my case to the Financial ombudsman.


I have been on several blogs and it seems ABBEY is the worst at dragging their heels and making excuses. I will keep you informed how it goes. In the meantime there is lots of info on http://www.moneysavingexpert.co.uk/

Barclays/Halifax and DMP

Off all the debt we have despite being in a Debt Management Plan Barclays and Halifax are still charging us interest. It seems ludicrous to me they know we cant pay and yet they are adding nearly £150 per month onto the bill. Surely this cant be legal, its like adding lead weights to a drowning man.

Mis-sold Endowment Policy

Mis-sold endowment policy the saga continues. I must admit Abbey were pretty quick when I sent the forms back. Norwich Union though were very slow responding to a request for a surrender value. But as usual for me what looked like a pretty straight forward thing is being delayed because believe it or not Abbey have said mine is a unique case and will take more time.
Am I going to be compensated or not that is the question and I wonder how long I will have to wait to find out. Fingers crossed it will turn out ok. I will keep you informed. Wish me luck.

Claiming Bank Charges from Abbey

Well things don't get better. We have had a letter from Abbey refusing to return Bank Charges.
Not sure what to do now I think they deliberately dragged their heels waiting for the outcome of the recent court case over bank charges. I wonder if I can do anything about this. Anyone with any ideas I would be grateful.
