Default Help with Abbey claim

Hi all,

Myself and my partner are in receipt of various benefits including disability benefits for our 2 disabled children. Over the past 3 years we have incurred many bank charges for various reasons but mainly for unpaid DD's and SO's. I have been meaning to try and get some of the charges back from them using the techniques listed on this excellent site.
However I'm not the brightest spark when it comes to things like this, so I have tended to put it off. Unfortunately one of our boys is very ill and will be going for a bone marrow transplant some time in August, which means we will be under more financial preasure as my partner and my son will have to go to Newcastle for a few months while the transplant is being done. As I have 2 other young children 1 of whom also needs a BMT I will not be able to be with my partner for the full duration of the transplant and will only be able to go visit on the odd weekend, staying in B&B's.
So as you can see it will be very costly. My question is, although the test case is still ongoing will I be able to claim the charges back, and if so how should I go about it? As I said I'm not the brightest spark, so if anyone could please help I would really appreciate it.
Thanks
Timpo

Hi, timpo.


Sorry to hear you and your family are being put through the mill.

Many thanks Michael for the address. I will post the Subject Access Request off on Monday. Fingers crossed.

BTW I guess my case would fall under the hardship rule, so is there a specific template I could use when it comes to it?
