£21 Bank Charge for being overdrawn £2 for 1 day!!

[*WelShIeGaL*]

hiya there,

 

unfortunatly they can do this it will be part of the terms and cond' however if this is the first time she has had any charges on her account or if she has not had any refunded or waivered (refunded-were the charge has already left the account and lloyds refund it back to her waivered-were the charge has yet left the account so lloyds place a waiver on there to prevent it from leaving) in the past 12 months then she can a request a waiver or refund, which she would be fully entitled to with the amount that she had gone overdrawn by and the amount the charge is for.....if onthe other hand they would have returned the direct debit as unpaid that on its own would have had a 20 quid fee charged to her account, i no it still doesnt seem fare her having to request the waiver/refund but at lweast it better than them taking the money.....if youd like any help or want any other advice let me know.

hiya,

 

she better off calling phonebank(08453000000) then all she needs to do is simply tell the advisor that she never had any charges previous on her acc and shes had a letter to say that she will be charged on 03/08/09 and she wants them waiverered....the advisor will check the acc and will then put a waiver on there for her, makesure they give her a ref no. then just keep ahold of this untill shes had the aug statement just to make sure it was put through correctly and doesnt go out the acc, if for any reason it does still go out get striaght on the phone with that ref no.

again if you need anything else just give me yell.

It's just so sad and outrageous that many people will let them get away with it , I know I have in the dim and distant past, and that's what the Banks rely on... punishing the little people for minor misdemeanors... Thank heavens for CAG!!.
