To get this back on topic......


I've had no success using templates trying to get money back before the test case started. Lloyds has taken in excess of 300 quid from me in bank charges and i wrote them twice and never got an offer of settlement. Because I live out of the country I've been slow in mailing my reply to them. I'm going to try it once more and than take it to court since um I want my money.


I agree with the thought that it's down to poor money management on my behalf but on the other hand they should not be going into unauthorized overdraft....I find it odd that if I try and buy something and don't have the money for it, it'll go through anyway and I'll just be charged later. I'd rather just be denied at the time with 'insufficient funds'. Glad the post above got 90% of their money back though. Hopefully I'll be as lucky

Oh for gods? sake!


???? - You came out with an intentionally provocative and self satisfied post. That is fine but don?t expect to not get a reaction. I reacted by voicing my distaste.


I am not, do not consider myself to be and was not trying to be some kind of forum sheriff.


I am also not claiming anything from my bank and my financial situation is just fine thank you. Not that it is any of your business but you seem to ascribe some kind of value to it so there you go.


I do however have a strongly developed sense of fair play and therefore serious moral objections to the way the banking system operates. (and the legal system, government, most corporate structures, delivery of public services, foreign policy??)


Your post made you sound smug. Especially the way you tried to make out how happy you are that everyone else?s misery was paying for your free banking. That is ok but just as you are entitled to your opinion and to voice it, so am I.


Although I think I put this all a lot more eloquently the first time.


Now I know I should really just let this be as I think we are both flogging a dead horse now but I can?t help myself trying to get one last word in. Petty I know.


Well at least we may have provided some entertaining reading.


And for those who are actually busy making claims from your banks, I sincerely apologise for hijacking your thread.

Ok, ok Sean, point taken! lol! though to put my tupenceworth in:- my bank have just out of the blue and without my request or authority just increased my overdraft from ?1,400 to ?2,200! I phoned them up and said I didn't want it as I was trying to get my current overdraft down as it was and had managed to get it down slowly bit by bit on a monthly basis. I said this is just not right and seriously tempting people who have limited resources to overspend, they said apparently they had sent a letter to me saying I now qualified for that kind of huge overdraft (which I didn't receive) and that it was there and would only be triggered if I actually went over my current ?1,400 limit, which is disgusting, have written to Manager of Natwest to complain. I don't even have that much going into my account on a monthly basis!

    • Miss Robson is the last of the old school independent vets. All the chains are have seriously hiked their prices over the last few years which now makes pet ownership only possible for the wealthy few. Even with pet insurance -( which often excludes items or has ‘deductibles’ ) it is just so much money. A visit with some medication is often £150 - £200. The vets themselves are excellent. 
    • Awful. A Google search came up with this, but will he check his office email over Christmas? Maybe worth also contacting local councillor? 'To contact Southern Housing's CEO, Paul Hackett, you can try his direct email, [email protected], or use the general contact email [email protected], as well as calling their main number, 0300 303 1066, for general inquiries or to be directed to the executive level.' Also, from the website: https://www.southernhousing.org.uk/latest-news/2025/contacting-us-over-the-festive-period   'Contacting us about an emergency? If you have an emergency outside of the above times over the festive period, such as severe flooding, an uncontainable leak, gas leak, complete electrical failure or lift breakdown, please call us on 0300 303 1066' I hope it is sorted out soon.
    • Dawson Heights again  2 lifts out of order at ladlands block Christmas Eve so of course the 🛗 will not be repaired tomorrow Christmas Day or Boxing Day or when how do elderly or mothers with children and prams and food and presents get to the floors and with the 10 minutes you get to drop off  to park and not get a Pcn fine and delivery food to relatives who can’t leave their house unbelievable Southern housing does any know email address of Coe of southern housing 
    • Sorry but I think it's best if people just check things for themselves when they buy things. In three shops/restaurants (from some years back) I just avoid the places concerned, as in all three  cases I was pretty sure it wasn't a genuine mistake, and in one place  it happened more than once and usually late at night.
