Bank Charges

Hi
Will reclaiming bank charges be reduced if I close the Account at the Bank I am claiming the charges from?

    Not sure what you mean by 'reduced'. If you mean 'will the bank still add further charges if you close the a/c?', then yes unless there is a nil balance. If you are still overdrawn, then the bank will not allow the a/c to be closed and it will still incur further charges even if you cease using the a/c.
