Hi from a newbie..

[johanne]

Hi,

 

Just thought id introduce myself, Im Jo and ive joined this site as im hoping to help my partner reclaim his bank charges. He has been really bad with money in the past but is trying to sort out his finances and get out of debt.After viewing some of his bank statements i know he has been charged quite a few charges for bounced DD's etc!

 

Hoping that we can claim his charges back and get something to put towards some of his debt. I know it wont be easy and it wont be quick.... but hes facing paying off debts deep into 2011... so ANYTHING that speeds that up and is within that time frame will be a blessing!

 

I have never been charged on my account before or anything so i may need a little guidance over what different charges mean etc.. but im sure you fantastic people will help me! Ive read all the information i can find on here so far... so just compiled his letter asking for his statements for the last 6 years.... will be sent on monday, after we have opened a basic bank account for him with another bank (my partner is currently with Barclays)

 

Anyway i look forward to being part of this community!

Welcome to this great site, I am still new myself and I can honestly say the best thing to do is read read and more reading through the site. I managed to get some charges back within a week thanks to this site.

Hi, and welcome to the site.

I've got to say there is no better feeling than getting money back which has been unlawfully taken from you.There are lots of horror stories about people being put in dire straights by their banks unlawful charges.

I've struggled for the past few years, but through this site I'm slowly getting my cash back.

Hope all goes well with your claim.

Keep us posted. Go into the Barclays forum and i'm sure there are lots of people willing to help you out.

Hi Jo, welcome to the family.

 

I suggest that you spend a couple of days reading the FAQs and the step by step guide in the library section. (There is a terrific amount of info there.) That will answer most of your questions.

This is a self-help forum so you must be prepared to put in some time learnig the correct procedures.

 

Start your own thread in the Barclays Bank Forum and post any questions and progress reports there.

You will be able to draw on the experiences of other users who are dealing with Barclays.

Good luck with your claim.

just popped in to say Hi Jo welcome to the site. As the others have already said read as much as you can ( warning: this site can be addictive) start your own thread in Barclays forum and follow the well tested procedures and that money will be coming back where it belongs
