    Yes he should certainly try. Have a look at the https://www.bankactiongroup.co.uk website. Everything you need to know is on there. I'm currently in dispute with Nationwide and BAG have helped a lot.

    Congratulations Kevicho! I shall be doing the same with Halifax. Can I just ask if they closed your bank account? And how long did it take for them to pay up? :T

    theyve threatened closure if i sue again, but im closing it anyway

    Money as already gone in

    Took about 2 1/2 weeks alltogether this, i was expecting a lot more resistance or waiting!

    Either way dont be intimidated by the process or the bank, the Law over rides any terms and conditions, in fact there is a law to stop this sort of unfair charges but its not illegal thats why they can do it!

    Once there in court they know they will lose

    Good luck anyone else who wants there money back

    fantastic news Kevicho :beer:

    I'm currently in the process of claiming back over £2k, so I hope mine goes as easily! I'd love to be able to whack another £2k off of my debts overnight!
