Hiya Marc, You're in the right place to get your charges back! The first thing to do is read the FAQ's and have a read around the other posts, it'll give you an idea of what to expect for a start. There's also a very helpful step by step guide. It's a good idea to spend a few days doing this to take it all in. Once your ready to begin the fight give us a shout - we're all here to help!

 

Best of luck

Good advice from PJ there Marc. Let us know how you get on.

thanks guys. have already been reading around. just finished reading your post pj just wondering how you were getting on. also has any1 ever made a successful claim from yorkshire bank??

[pjdudley69]

I'm just in the process of filling in my Allocation Questionnaire at the moment Marc. I don't know, myself, if anyone's been successful in their claim with YB on this site, but I don't think so as I haven't come across anything in the litigation concluded section. It does look like they're really making us fight our corner though! Don't worry though, it's a bit daunting [for me anyway ], but we'll get there!!

There may be no record on here of YB paying out yet (they probably have though), but their solicitors will be well aware of what is going on elsewhere. It looks like they are making it as long and drawn out as possible to get your money back, but I still don't think they are any more likely to actually defend the case than any other bank.

 

Just remember if they do they will have to disclose how their charges are worked out - chancing the possibility of opening the floodgates to thousands if not millions of claims. Seeing as YB charge a daily amount as well as the penalty they are even less likely to want to do this than any other bank!

 

If they do, well the admin on here will help prepare a case (being the superstars that they are) that will leave them crying into their money mountains. I've got a few choice questions about certain parts of my claim that will get their solicitor grasping for an answer.

 

Don't give up, keep going no matter what they say or how they try to fob you off, and remember we are all here to help.

Just to reassure everyone Yorkshire Bank where probably one of the first banks to actually suffer defeat I refer to the case of Laura Saunders v. Yorkshire Bank (2005)

Guardian Unlimited | The Guardian | Can Bob fix it? For Laura, he can

 

I have just submitted my Allocation Questionnaire and will be awaiting their demise

 

Just don't give up hope

Thanks for that Geoff. That is real encouragement for those of us that YB are trying to intimidate at the moment.

You claim for the £8 per day unauthorised o/d charges, the £20 [is it per month] in addition to that, any unautorised fees, unpaid cheque fees etc. Basically, any charges they've made to your account, which you haven't agreed as part of a service. Hope this helps
