Needing help with credit card reclaims

Im about to start the process of claiming my charges on my credit cards.

What I really need to know before I start is....

Can I reclaim even though they are currently with the debt collection services?

I have to pay numerous debt collections installments of my balances not the actual credit card companies, but could i still go ahead with the reclaiming?

Also I have store cards and also credit cards as a CCJ, can these still be claimed back?

Finally, does the reclaiming mean only credit card and store cards or can it be loans from the bank too?

All of mine are with the debt collection agencies bar one.

Many thanks

  • What exactly are you trying to reclaim- interest charged will not be allowed under any circumstance.
    If you do succeed expect some to pay it back directly to reduce the outstanding debt.
  • I forgot to mention that the reclaims I would hopefully get would be the late payment fees and overdrawn fees (if poss).

    Obviously I wouldnt want the reclaimed money back, I would want the refunds put on my accounts so the balance is lower and reduces my debt quicker

    Stop looking for the easy way out - learn to manage your money better.
    Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.

    Wow almost as harsh as your viewpoint on challenging CCAs ;)

    The courts have dictated that some of these charges are unlawful and debtors are within their rights to reclaim them. Nothing to do with easy ways out really.
  • Sorry, but I did not realise I had to give full indepth details in to how I got in that position in the first place.

    Yes, we all know to handle money alot better, but unfortunately things happen in life where that is not possible.

    I dont want any of the money claimed back to go to me, I want the money to clear the debts quicker.

    Im only trying to get refunded what should never have been charged in the first place
