    Read the Reclaim posts first , you are entitled to claim it back .

    I would try your local branch first or phone them and ask for the money (or some of it back) .
    If that dont work get your letters prepaired , all information and procedures is on this thread . good luck

    A fee we charge for every month in which you at any time have an unarranged overdraft.
