Hi and welcome to the site,

 

You've definately taken the first step into claiming back what's rightfully yours.

 

Spend time reading the FAQ's and the Step by Step guide as this will stop you making mistakes along the way. Use the letters and spreadsheets in the Templates Library as these have all been tried and tested in successful claims. Read as many threads as you can especially ones that relate to your bank. This is a SELF HELP site and won’t do the work involved for you. However, everything you need is on here somewhere.

 

Don't be afraid to ask any questions, no matter how stupid they may seem, but please remember that any advice that you receive is normally based on experience only and that you should seek expert advice if required.

 

Once you start the process of your claim remember to open a thread in the relative bank forum, this will enable you, and others helping you, to keep track of your claim.

 

All the best in your claim!!

Hello and Welcome

First of all don’t panic - you will soon have your money back in your hands where it belongs!!

Yes…you can claim back your charges, even if you were late paying, even if you went over your limit and even if your DD Bounced!!!

Remember the banks have acted unlawful you haven’t!!!

Before you start anything make sure you read the FAQs and as many threads as possible as there is a wealth of information on here!!

Before you begin, make sure you start your own thread in the bank forum you are claiming against. Here you will have other “experts” who know how that particular bank reacts. As you have already posted this one, I assume you already know how to do that!

First of all, if you haven’t already, you need to get hold on your statements. You do this by sending them SAR letter. Remember you can claim back for the past six years, including closed accounts, mortgage, credit cards, car finance, loan accounts and even accounts that are with Debt Collection Agencies and Bailiffs!!!!

If you already have your statements then you can start by sending them the Prelim letter.

Remember its important to open a parachute account, especially if the charges are spiralling out of control and you have little or no money left, at the end of each month.

If your account goes into a negative balance after you have transferred your banking, send them this notice to prevent them taking any further action.

If you get stuck have a look (by searching) to see if your question has already been asked by reading other people threads, if you are still not sure either post your question in your own thread or PM me and I will be happy to help you.

Also look for another newbie claiming against the same bank as you, that way you can do your claim together and support each other as the post drops through the door!!

Sometimes the banks act awfully and you can get very stressed out by it all. But stick to your guns - you are in the right - they are not. Don’t let them put you off, that’s what they want to do!

Hope this helps

Good Luck

Hi - thanks for your advice - I love your signature!!!

[Allyxia]

No worries lost.

 

Who are you claiming aginst?

[lost24]

Morning, sorry didn;t reply - went home!! I'm thinking of applying to Lloydstsb Credit Card & Sainsburys bank credit cards - Have a DMP and was wondering whether this would affect the arrangement ?

[cheddar]

Hi lost please start threads in the Lloyds forum to keep us updated as for DMP I think you would need to ask whoever it is you have your DMP with, some would want your charges to pay off your debt i think.

[MARTIN3030]

Here is your thread in Lloyds bank group where you should be able to get answers to further questions.

[lost24]

Hi there - sorry I haven't replied earlier - I have had a full refund of charges to my cc account with LloydsTSB and have sent of a second letter to Sainsburys Visa
