Hi Spikey, welcome to the forum. It sounds from your question like you're new here? - please read up as much as you can as soon as possible and some of your questions will probably be answered straight away. If you've already done that, please post back and I'll try to point you in the right direction for specifics about charges.
BTW are you claiming from RBOS or BOS? It makes a difference to how your claim progresses.
Cheers and best of luck with your claim.

Thanks for responding to my message, I am a bit unsure which charges I can claim for, on alot of my bank statements I see charges, marked CHG, for amounts of 15, 20 and 24 pounds, these were whilst I was overdrawn and were taken on top of the interest charges. there are also some for a referral charge, i'm not sure what that is but one is for 60 pounds. Am I right in thinking I can claim for all charges apart from the interest charges? also what about the times when I have gone over my overdraft limit, is the bank allowed to charge me for this above the normal interest charges?
I have a royalties gold account, are these a bad idea when it comes to bank charges? I noticed a couple of negative comments about them, does that mean I cannot claim the charges for having a royalties gold account even if they are excessive?
btw, I can't find the sticky that was posted by Livelylad listing the bank charges, where can I find it?
As for your question on royalties, I'm not sure I follow you?
The only thing you can't claim from a royalties account are the actual royalties charges (the 10 pound a month) because you agree to pay that charge. The charges you can claim are the penalty ones - overdraft fees, unpaid dds etc etc. My accounts were royalties accounts and I reclaimed around 3 grand.
With all due respect, you seem to be confused with the whole process and I would advise you NOT to rush into this. Read through the first link I posted (the user guide), read through the FAQs, read through other people's posts so you can get an idea of how the process works.
A good place to start would be my two claims linked in my signature. I've given detailed accounts of my claim including all letters I sent and received.
It is important to ensure you know what you are doing before you start the process. People won't respond to simple questions that you can find out for yourself by simply reading through the FAQs.

Hi
sorry I wasn't very clear about the royalties account question, I noticed in the spreadsheet that you posted a link to that they overcharged you for the royalties account monthly charge, they appeared to have done this to me too, I noticed they have taken 20 pounds a month instead of 10 from my account, I am presuming this is the royalties account charge as there are no deductions for 10 pounds.
Hi
I have read through the FAQ and am now ready to make a preliminary approach to my bank, the only thing is I am not sure which spreadsheet I need to use from the library, there are quite a few of these and it is not very clear which to use, I would be grateful if someone could clarify this for me.
They haven't overcharged me....RBS merge lots of their charges together at the end of the month. The link I posted re charges explains how to break this down.

Hi again, I am currently filling in the spreadsheet specifying the charges, I am using the one from Mindzai, one question tho, when filling in the interest charges and the interest period date, for example:
'INT TO 23SEP A/C' do fill in the balance of my account on the 23rd september or the balance on the date the amount is taken from my account?
Hello again, it's taken some time but I think I am finally ready and feeling confident enough to send a preliminary approach letter. I filled in the information from my statements into the compound sheet v1.9 and if that is correct they owe me around 760 quid. When I send the letter do I send a print out of the compound sheet? if so which parts do I need to send is it just the notes page and the charges & interest page? Also another question, on the notes page, at the top where you fill in the interest rate and apr rate, which do I need to fill in? these don't actually make any difference to the calculations from the spreadsheet do they?
please help, finances definitely aren't my strong point
I thought I had this all worked out, I have filled in the spreadsheet using the charges and interest amounts from my statements but now I have checked it i'm not sure if I have done it right, I have read alot on here but there is just so much information it's not always easy to follow. I have an interest paying current account with the RBS and so I have filled in the chg amounts and int amounts from my statements, the chg amounts range from 15 to 38 quid. when I look on the advice of service charge statements it says these are a maintenance charge, am I right to fill in the whole amount on the spreadsheet or can I not claim the whole amount back? the amounts aren't broken down on the advice sheets, it just shows the whole charge amount. Also on the spreadsheet I know when i'm filling in the interest charges I put the date the interest was charged to, eg if it says int to 25 mar, I fill in the 25 march and put my balance on the 25 march, but when filling in the chg amounts do I also put the chg to date or the date it was taken from my account? the notes on the spreadsheets are somewhat conflicting.
Now what?
, can someone please let me know how I work out what I can claim back for?
