Can this come back and bite me?

Evening all.

Quick question and sorry if its been asked before.

I currently have a £3000 OD with LLoyds.
Having worked out that over the last 6 years ive paid £950 in charges I believe im entitled to have back.

My question is if I submit a claim do they have any grounds on which to get funny with me and force me to repay the OD in full and/or close my account? Obviously I would like the money back but im not yet in a position to pay it all back in one go even though I am steadily.

Many thanks for all advice.

    This is why the guide advises setting up a parachute account. I doubt they'd be able to force you to pay the overdraft back in a lump sum.
  • hi

    the FOS have told banks they cannot do this. if they try any of this you can complain to the FOS who will take appropriate action and may give compensation.
