Good Luck! The same has happened to my 18 year old daughter, she's got approx £400+ charges and she can't get it into her head why the Halifax have done this to her, she thought they were there to help her!! Bless.. I've protected her too much I think.... needless to say I'm starting on her account now I've sorted mine with RBS... Stick with it winning is a lovely feeling!
do RBS pay out pretty quickly then? its ironic - i actually set up this account as my parachute account in case Barclays get shirty and close my account! now this!

Nightmare! RBS seem to pay out the lesser amounts before MCOL stage, but things are changing all the time, read up on a few threads to get a feel for it. I was paid out after a court date of 30 May was set! But mine was for £3k. Took from October to yesterday all in all.
hmm... what to do, what to do..?
i dont suppose theres any point in worrying, what will be, will be.
HOWEVER
its nice to know that all these years that I have been tellinh my mum that the bank are [problem]ming me (i'm referring to the £2k that i'm claiming back from Barclays) and she just said that it wasnt the bank, it was the fact that i was just crappy with money...
I WAS RIGHT !!!! HA HA HA IN YOUR FACE MUM !!!
no, seriously though, it just gets you thinking - how many charges has my mum encountered without even thinking to question it? *shudder* doesnt bear thinking about

hmm.. looks like im going to have to start claim #2 with RBS.... since my original claim only included charges up to 22nd feb, and since that date, theyve charged me another £45.78...its only a small amount, but hey, its the principal of things! do you guys think that I should wait until I have the settlement money in my account before I start #2 or should I send my prelim letter now anyway...

Wait, yes. Once it's been paid, it might be worth your while sending a simple letter to them requesting refund the 45 quid given that you have succesfully claimed x amount and that it would be in everyone's interest (time and money) for them to refund this rather than go through the whole process again.
Might get resolved a lot quicker that way.
If my post has been useful, tip my scales and let me know

Did you include a full spreadsheet of charges with this, or did you just send a total and request that?

sent them the soc with the prelim letter. didnt include any interest though on either the soc or the prelim letter.
