Charges claim and account closure

Hi all, just a quickie:

I've just closed an account with Alliance and Leicester but it's suddenly dawned on me that this may effect my charges claim. Any one know if my claim will still be dealt with even though I've closed one of the accounts I'm claiming for? I do still have an active account with them.

Thanks in anticipation.

    Hi Viva Chris :hello:

    The fact that you have closed the account- which you are claiming the refund of unfair bank charges for, should make absolutely no difference whatsoever! :)

    You are claiming for the reason that they were unfair. You paid them, you had no choice! If your account was still open, they would refund the money straight into your account. As the account is closed- they can issue a cheque. It shouldn't make any difference to them which way they give you the money back, they will have to pay it one way or an other.

    I hope your case has a happy ending (for you, not them obviously)
    Good Luck ;)
