    Default Fizdup V The Bank of Scotland

    I have requested a list of all the charges that have been levied against me by the BoS-tards (someone elses joke that, but I like it!)
    So far I have recivieved copies of all my bank statments back to 2004 when the Halifaxicon took over the BoS and the others are on their way, apparently.

    I would like to claim back charges made on my account from 1997, but I believe that the law only allows me to claim back to 2001.

    Has anyone successfully claimed back charges from more than 5 years ago?
    Is there an argument that the Banks have refused to reveal what the Breakdownicon of the charges is and therefore have been decieving us all along, or is that just wishful thinking?

    I'm not sure how far back you can claim as I wrote to HBOSicon and asked for statements for the last 6 yearsicon and received them from June 1995 onwards. Don't know whether this means we can claim this far back or what but I dare say we will find out.

    There's a thread in the FAQ's section about claiming back more than 5/6 yearsicon (it's 5 years if you live in Scotland, 6 in England/Wales)

    ** I AM NOT A LAWYER, PLEASE CONSULT A QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL IF YOU ARE IN ANY DOUBT **

    I have successfully claimed against: "MBNA, Capital One, Bank of Scotland & Clydesdale Bank"

    The Consumer Action Group is a Self-Help website, Moderators & Site Helpers offer advice on a voluntary basis. Please spend time reading the FAQ's, and other cases relating to your bank before starting your own claim

    I have added up all the charges made against me and the total comes to £708, though only £128 of those charges were made within the 5 year limit.

    Following the "step-by-step instructions" FAQ I have not requested any interesticon on top of the charges.

    I have decided to go ahead and ask for the whole amount, nothing ventured, nothing gained, right?
