Hi Sonya, no I don't get phone calls off them, I rang them and asked for all statements ( that way they don't charge for them ) then when you get them add up all charges, you can go back 6 years, then follow the threads for help on how to claim it back, will help you as much as I can, I am just at the court point with my bank, but need these statements to go further with capital one

hi chris thank you for your reply, l have found all of my statements from capitol one as i have 2 cards and have found the template for the letter so do i send the letter to them with the amounts l am claiming back? As like other people they have charged me for over limit and late charges so thats why my card is over the limit.

thanks
sonya

hi sonya, firstly, if you start your own thread others will read it and they will also help you with your claim.you need to set out all charges, dates, and what the charges are for, if you use the spread sheet it is easier, and send it with your prelim letter, if you go and read some of the other threads they will give you some idea as to how to go on, and how others have got on

Did you pay 5 working days before the due date, like the statement says? That bit at the bottom that mentions that if you pay by phone, online banking or cheque, to give it 5 working days before the due date?

wtdb - It doesn't matter whether he did or not, it's irrelevant. The charge is unlawful and OP will get it back.

chriswatkins, don't forget to add the latest charges right up to date when you file with the court!

Talking Re: chris

well, good news, cap one have refunded all the charges on one of the accounts after I sent the LBA, its only £80, but better in our pocket than theirs, still waiting to hear about the other one thats for a bit more £532, so I suppose they will try not to pay that one, have sent the LBA, so will wait and see what happens next
