Thread: Query re charges I can claim back

Any charges - just not service costs etc - so if you had one of those accounts were a fee is paid each month regardless, that would not be covered.

Everything else is.

However, it seems as though you have not read through the FAQ section thoroughly - this really is vital but will pay dividends as your case progresses to each of the next stages.

Good luck

Hi Jax,

As Jonni says, you absolutely MUST read the FAQs and other information to be completely certain of what you are doing.

You can claim for everything on your statements that is not a justifiable service fee, or justifiable interest:

Claim:

• Penalty Charges applied to your account. This is for exceeding overdrafts, referral/representation of DD’s and SO’s, cancellation of DD’s and SO’s, card misuse charges - the list is long!
• Interest charged to your account for any of the above
• When the interest is applied to the penalty charges, then this interest should be included
• If your transaction history identifies what interest is applied for what reason, then be honest about the amount you request
• If the interest is not itemised, then claim for ‘Interest Charges,’ and the onus will be on the bank to demonstrate the proportion they are entitled to

Don't Claim:

• Agreed fees, such as £5 monthly overdraft arrangement fee
• Interest 'proper' - this is normal interest on the amount you are overdrawn
• Any concept of costs or time at this time
• Interest other than that which appears on your statements
• Interest at 8% APR (that comes when you raise your claim at court)
