| ***Charges received back - SURVEY*** I've been asked quite a few times how much money in total have been clawed back from the banks, well, I have knocked-up a little survey to find out: http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/survey.php
It's not finished yet, but I am struggling to find the time to finish it.
It's a bit buggy, so be patient with it (send me bugs if you find them (don't look for them!!!) at dave@bankactiongroup.co.u k - and I'll fix them when I can).
PS. If there's any PHP programmers out there that want to lend a hand, I probably wouldn't turn you away
PPS. There was one, but I forogt the username, please PM me if the offer of help still stands.

| Do you mean to tell me nobody has had any money from Lloyds yet?
They are after all one of the worst offenders! :o |

| Dave - I know it's more work, but have you considered a survey to gauge the momentum of the campaign.
Basically, when approaching the bank for Data Protection Act details, did they counter with "are you going to ask for a refund," or "are you from that internet site?" type of thing.
I notice from posts that this is becoming more frequent... |

The banks will not, for the most part, refund these charges until they have no other choice than to pay up or go to court.
Give this another month and I suspect that you will find all the banks represented on that list and the amount of refunds will be much higher.

| | Basic Account Customer | Re: ***Charges received back - SURVEY*** Love this survey, Dave.
I was wondering about the 'stage at which refund received' bit: should there maybe be an option for ' phone call'? I've seen instances on this site where it's suggested as the first move before starting on the letters.
I actually got £100 back from Capital One a year ago, by complaining on the phone - obviously, before I found out I could get back a lot more.
Also, and this is bordering on nitpicking, I know: how about an additional 'percentage of requested refund' or something? Or does everyone get it all? |

| | Site Team The Consumer Action Group | Re: ***Charges received back - SURVEY*** Most people are not using it sadly, so it's not really a true reflection of the amount people are getting back.
However, I will add a total, but in the meantime you could cut and paste it into Excel and do a SUM.

I'll do the excel thing, but I do like the info down the sides. I'll have a play tomorrow. Cheers. |

| Re: ***Charges received back - SURVEY*** Just had a look - Halifax seem to be the best - thats good for me.
But Lloyds - what a shocker.
I think the more people do this, the Banks will have to finally give in or change their charges (not likely) or go to court!!!
But keep the good work up. |

I think that may generate more "usage" ?? |

Maybe, I should make it bigger?
