    Default A&L Charges

    Hi all,
    My daughter tried to defraud my account by intercepting a cheque book and paying in a cheque for £60 to her account. As we only use this account occasionally the cheque bounced. It was about a month before we got a statement showing we were overdrawn and charges of £5 a day were added. I phoned A&L to find out how we became overdrawn and after several weeks the sent a copy of the cheque on which the signiature was obviously forged. I pointed out to them that the charges that they say we owe are as a result of an attempted fraud on their bank. Their reply is that we should get the money from our daughter. Our daghter no longer lives with us and is unemployed. No money left our account. We have never been overdrawn on the account but we now owe £400 in charges. They have informed us that they won't look at bank charge claims untill the high court case is settled but that thay may take us to court for the debt. It seems to me that we can't take them to court to reclaim charges, but they can sue us any time they like.
    Can anyone tell me what I can do to get out of this madness.

    I am not an expert in law, finance or any related field, I just read a lot. Any advice is based solely on what I've read so please don't take it as gospel without checking it out yourself.

    I prefer not to give advice by PM. If you want me to look at something, send me a link to your thread, and if I can help I'll reply on there.

    Hi
    Don't panic too much if they take you to court (I KNOW it sounds easy)

    If they do then your defence would be that this is a case of bank charges and as so it should be stayed, It will mean that they have to wait for their money and when we win then they wont get anything at all

    If It does happen then post on here and someone will be along to help you word your defence/ counter claim

    In the mean time I would get some advice from the CAB and also write to the FSA/fosicon and complain about A&L behaviour in processing an obviously fraudulent cheque.

    Good Luck

    Not sure if you realise but A & L are NOT part of the test case. How on earth can they rely on the OFT test case if they are not part of it????

    Although A&L are not one of the banks involved in the test case the waivericon covers ALL bank charges cases and the results will have an impact on ALL banks
