Any legal eagles here can say whether this is would work? |
If you haven't done this yet then I would recommend you do so (if you've had any charges of course!)
It has taken us two months to recover charges we had about three years ago - and got our payback today almost to the pound that we expected following the BBC News link. YIPEE!
The banks sends a lengthy letter disagreeing with our complaint blah blah but made an offer as a gesture of goodwill. Funny it should equate to refunding the difference between the max charges the authorities say should be apllicable and the excessive amounts they actually charged!
Power to the people!
