Keithkeith is quite right in that there are two threads running here and it would help immensely if questions were placed on this thread

and then hopefully you will get an answer to your questions.

As always read Martin's article and sign up for the CAG forums

My account with lloyds tsb is now closed down. (I closed it) They have however taken thousands in charges over the years. It was only closed a few months back.

Is it still possible to reclaim the money?

Bank HSBC
Amount reclaimed £2100
Amount they paid £1800
Bought my first house as a single parent ans struggled a little at first, bank charged me everytime I went overdrawn, sometime charged me 2 or 3 times. Thankyou moneysavingexpert for the advice on this site.

Tesco Card
Claimed £70.66 - just a few items relating to missed payments but it's a matter of principle!
Initially rejected, I followed up with a letter giving them 14 days to reflect before I started court proceedings.
Credited £70.66 today

i understand - but as no one had responded to anyone's questions on the other thread I thought it might be easier to add one on here seen as other people had done and had received a response. Have been looking for help - please don't get funny with people looking for help especially when they are new to the whole chat forum thing let alone the reclaiming bank charges task, its daunting enough.
