    Default Bank of Scotland: current situation?

    Hi, I see there is a lot of information out there but I'm not sure how up to date some of it is and I find the sheer scale of it daunting

    I have had a Bank of Scotlandicon account for about a year and have had several £35 charges just for going over my overdrafticon by a fiver or so.

    Is there any chance of getting refunds pending the OFT appeal? I did read somewhere that this case isn't even relevant to Scotland so I'm confused as to what the situation is up here.

    If anyone could provide basic advice on whether there is anything I can do, I'd be really grateful - even if it's just a link to currently relevant threads!!

    Thanks in adavnce.

    Hello and Welcome, neilh123.

    Have you tried phoning them and asking for the chargers back, I know it's a long shot but sometimes works.

    You can put in a claim, but the Bank will apply for a 'sist' to be put on the claim.

    Have a look at the step-by-step..........

    http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk...procedure.html

    Remember the small claims limit has gone up to £3,000 from £750.

    I always recommend you go as far as you can with your claim, send prelim, lbaicon then file at your Local county courticon.

    Regards.

    Scott.

    Thank you Scott.

    I assume a "sist" is some kind of "hold" pending the test case and that therefore the test case does apply to Scotland as well?

    My case is only for around £200 so seems to be well within the limit of Ediburgh Sherriff's Court.

    No I had not thought of calling them; it did not cross my mind that this might work. I will do this tomorrow and follow on with a letter if I get no joy. Unfortunately the link to the templates libraryicon didn't seem to work? I just got the message "404 - Component not found"?

    Thanks again for your advice.

    Hi,

    Sorry about the 'link', try this one..........

    http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk...tructions.html

    And yes, a 'sist' in Scotland is the same as a 'stay' in england.

    Regards.

    Scott.

    Thanks again Scott.

    Before I could call the bank today ... they called me! To tell me I was overdrawn - thanks to their charges!! I argued my case against the charges and ONE charge of 35.00 was dropped. Needless to say armed with the info I now I have I won't be letting the rest drop!!
