List of Charges

[Arri]

Hello

 

I recently requested (by secure message) that Smile send me a list of default charges. I used a letter template from a different site (I only found this site today).

 

They have sent me a six year breakdown of charges in six columns:

Date – Commission – Credit Interest – Debit Interest – Fees – Tax on Credit Interest

 

As far as I’m aware, they haven’t charged me for this. I’m having trouble working out which fees are for being over my overdraft. Some are Visa charges for using my card abroad for example. Does this sound like the same sort of printout that other people have been sent? If so, how do you work out what is what in the list?

 

I once complained about a charge and Smile said they would only charge me 50% of it if I agreed. Can I claim that 50 % back or have I agreed that it was fair?

 

Thanks in advance for any answers.

Sorry to bump my own thread, but I'm really stuck with whether or not I have the right list of charges.

 

Has anyone had a list that specifies what each individual charge is?

Hi there,

I got the same statement from Smile and I added together Commission & Fees which came to over £2600! You can't claim interest unless it goes to court apparently. I don't know about using your card abroad but you could always contact them as ask which transactions relate to that. You should be able to tell by the date of the charge if you were away then.

 

My 14 day letter was signed for on 28th Jan, but they sent me a secure message yesterday saying they had received a list of charges but no accompanying letter and what did I want them to do with it. I think this was a delaying tactic so I've faxed a copy of the letter over today and said as far as I'm concerned it was signed for on 18th Jan so they have until 1st Feb to pay up!

 

Hope this helps.

 

Caroline.

Hi Caroline,

 

Thanks for your reply. Mine comes to about £1500. I guess I can work out when I was away. I just wanted to make sure I had an exact figure rather than write to them saying they owed me about £1500.

 

Thanks for the tip about the covering letter.

I've just had a similar list from Smile. I got a very polite letter, and my £10 cheque returned, as it was a service they offer FOC. I'm about to compile them a bill and send it back. Total is about £3,000...

Hi Arri,

Range of different charges applied to my CC account as follows:

• Late Payment Fee
  
• Overlimit Charge
  
• Arrears Charge

Range of different charges applied to my Current account as follows:

• Daily Excess Charge
  
• Service Charge
  
• Commission

Don't quote me on it, but I suspect that you would not be able to claim back your 50% if already agreed. Perhaps a PM could confirm or otherwise?

 

Hope the above helps, and good luck with your claim

Thanks for the replies.

 

I am making a spreadsheet of Commission and Fees. I will leave out the sum that I agreed to only pay half of.

Hi org1uk,

 

Smiles' charges on my current account were totally confusing. Although, I rang them up I'm not sure if at the time I totalled up the charges correctly. They did paid me as a GOGW £829 out of £1150 I claimed but the £1150 included statutory interest which they wrote back saying that they wont refund any further charges unless theres a bank error.

 

Does anyone know what exactly we can claim back?

Well I sent my letter on the 29th of January. I was about to send the LBA, but the whole £1165 I claimed has appeared in my account today. Wow.

 

I've had to login three times to make sure I'm not imagining it.
