Urgent Manchester Bank Charge Makeover

MSE_Martin · 2 June 2006 at 10:43AM

IMPORTANT UPDATE! PLEASE READ

Unfortunately there's been a change of plans and instead of the Trafford Centre we hope to be in St Annes Square between 1-3pm tommorrow. Hope to see you there.

URGENT! TONIGHT WITH TREVOR MCDONALD

On Monday I'm presenting a full programme on reclaiming unfair bank charges.

For a final last minute addition, we've decided to do a wee bank charge clinic. For the programme I'm going to be at Manchester's Trafford Centre on Saturday 3rd June from 1 till 3pm.

If you (or someone you know - please tell everyone) want to take part in the programme, which is going out on Monday on ITV1 at 8pm, and get some information on how to claim back your bank or credit card charges then come along with your bank/credit card statements for the last 6 months to as far back as the last 6 years and I'll go through with you how people are doing it!

It'd be great if you could come along, if you can please call Suzanne Cathery 0161 827 2569

However if you can't get in touch with Suzanne (e.g you're reading this friday night/sat morning) do still come along anyway... .we should still be able to help!

Watch out for the football crowds and congestion at Old Trafford. England play Jamaica in their final match before the Word Cup. Kick off Saturday 2.00pm June 3. A 70,000 plus attendance is expected as usual.
Martin should be the main attraction in Manchester. If you could position your stand next to a TV shop then you may well get a huge audience.

Hi, Im having trouble re-claiming my charges back off a certain internet provider. Im close to trafford centre but can not get there. Martin, is it okay for me to PM you for advice?

beloved chocolate... have you tried https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk
they can help you

Martin, this sounds like a fab idea. I have paid many charges to banks in the past, not anymore though thanks to this site.

One (slight) criticism though, why do this at the Trafford Centre on the same day and around the same time that England are playing their last match before they go to the World Cup?
I really want to come along but I'm working and in any case, the last time I went to the Trafford Centre when there was a game on at Old Trafford, it took me over 2 hours to get home and it is normally a 45 minute journey max!

Anyway, apart from that slight moan, keep up the good work, you help so many people, me included and I will always be grateful to you and this site for that.:beer:

As you'll see above venue is now changed

Hi- I work for one of the major banks and am disgusted by the charges they make!! I will try and come along tomorrow and will try going forward to offer some help from 'the inside'

Good luck to all claiming back!!!

You're also welcome to air your views at https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum especially if you let the site team know you are an employee....

Cheers
