Thread: newbie needing help with reclaiming charges from llyods

hello i am trying to work out if i can claim bank charges back from an old llyods bank account i held about 4 years ago
as i have not paid this for a number of yeas the debt is now sold to a DCA.....however the debt is just under 700 over the course of me having the account i believe they took around 500-600 in charges hence why i went overdrawn in the first place.
i understand you can send a s.a.r and get 6 years worth of statements but the only issue is as the debt is now with a dca do i send the s.a.r to them or llyods
and as it was so long ago i dont remember my account number is this going to be possible to reclaim or is it worth my while just to pay it off?
any help would be appreciated as i really am vague on these issues

Serve the Subject access request on Lloyds and begin the claim against Lloyds as well.

Do begin the county court claim as once Lloyds have asked for the claim to be stayed - as they surely will, then you will have a basis for telling the DCA to push off as they sould not be able to pursue you on a stayed claim.

In fact when the application for the stay is made, you should be able to ask the court for an order to Lloyds to instruct the DCA to stop.

thanks are you able to tell me how i go about dong these things also as i dont know any account numer will it cause a problem?
