My name is Warren and after watching the ITV news last night I thought i was the only person facing these excesive charges.

 

An issue was when my account was overdrawn -£147.35. I had two items I bought off ebay, paypal state that if there is no money in your Primary account, the money will be taken from your Secondary which had money in. Abbey let paypal take out the amount of £42.81 when my account was showing a negative number! Some useless bank protection of my money. I don't understand why they let this money come out of my account.The charges were £20 for going overdrawn and £35 per each item, therefore a nice total of £80 charges. I phoned paypal and they said that this was Abbey fault for letting the money go out! I phoned Abbey and they said that they are not getting involved because they are the third party! Which I find rediculous, they manage my money!

 

Help!!!!!! :? :Cry:

i think abbey let the money go out because they were thinking of the money they could make out of the charges. they seem to do this a lot. your not on your own - im in the process of claiming a lot of charges back from abbey (as are many others!).

youve found the right place anyway, they added to my anxiety and depression and made me very ill so im determined to get a full refund out of them.

Keep smiling Warren & Pink Fairy, Abbey are a bunch of bullies and they will have to pay out, witness my case, they had to refund over £500 into my account - of course they did then retaliate by shutting my account and demanding payment but after I offered a settlement figure of around half for the balance and they refused I have told them they will have to accept the small amount I can afford monthly through the Consumer Credit Counselling Service, am I downhearted, am I despondent, not bl....y likely, it was their charges that got me into this mess. They did put a defence online but then sent me a letter and rolled over - it is about time the OFT took some notice though and curbed their activities, power to the people on 3rd. March!!

thanks miss muppet, it's really seeing people like yourself win against the banks that has made me so determined. I have been trying to get the money back since July 05 by writing them letter after letter, I was so thrilled to find out the charges were not only immoral but illegal as well!

It's a bit embarrassing to think that for so long now we have a rolled over and accepted these charges: sure on the odd occassion we may of made a fuss at the counter only to be ridiculed by the staff when we leave. We have probabley all sat on hold for a good half an hour to their customer nonservice department on more than one occasion. Some of us have probabley even sent strong letters to them, but, overall, we normally just curse under our breathes when we get hit off these charges and think it MUST be right.

 

This site highlights just how badly we have been and are being ripped: I'm really quite annoyed with myself for accepting this for so long and have taken huge pleasure in rattling off my letters for DPA to 9 institutions.

 

Thank you to the people who have obviously spent so much time and effort on this website.
