    Re: Time to bite back the high street bank

    The banks will always settle out of court because if they went to court they would be forced to open up their books to the world and then there would be an even bigger surge of people claiming. At the moment, although it seems like a lot of people claiming to us. it is not really that many for the bank.

    I started the process on this and when i asked for my statements etc I sent a cheque for £10 to get them but my bank sent it back saying it wasn't needed and then sent all my statements to me. I'm owed approx about £2000 but have heard they will probably offer about £750. They are offering only a percentage of whatever it is you're claiming. A lot of people will take this but I for one would not.

    It when you go over £5000 owing you want to maybe think about taking the offer as if you go over that you will no longer be able to use the small claims courts but will then have to use the bigger courts to try and get your money back.

    So far out of all the people i have heard making a claim, none of them have been refused and have received some sort of payment so hang in there.
    I have done my research on this as I did not want to make any mistakes, the biggest rule is as you say....Don't take any offer out of court as you will get the full amount.

    The other one is they may try and bluff you into thinking you are not entitled, they may ignore your requests, anything to put you off claiming, so yes its about hanging in there.

    The forum I mentioned is brilliant and answers any question or concerns and they really know their stuff.

    Keep me updated Mook to how you get on and likewise I will post any development.

    Good Luck

          Mook if you have any problems whatsoever do go the forum mentioned above.

          You start a thread, mine being Paul V Barclays (each bank has its own section) and then just keep them updated and ask them anything you like. They take you through it step by step, have all the letters in templates and answer every question you post.

          You may have everything under wraps, but its there if you need it and good luck

                  Hi All


                  Some relevant information for U.k users regarding bank charges.

                  One of the london radio stations have formulated a very sucessfull letter for claiming refunds on U.K. bank charges, one listerner gained over £2000 back in unfair charges i think so far the running total is now about £20,000 you can download the letter which hasbeen very sucesssfull from
                  www.lbc.co.uk go to either of 2 presenters pages for copies of the letter go to either Nick farrari or James o brians web page on the site.

                  make those banks pay back the unfair charges.

                              Mook, I heard a story last week about citi bank taking the courts by surprise and turning up to a hearing.

                              What happened in this case was the person in question claimed the charges were illegal, they are not, they are unlawful. This guy has the right to appeal and go with the right facts this time around. The forum I go on says don't worry, it was the guys presantation of the facts that was his undoing.

                              I am still in the process of my claim, so I will let you know how things develop.
