Charges for going overdrawn, denied direct debits, bounced cheques, etc. Only interest if it is on an overdrawn balance that is so because of charges levied to your account. How do you mean commission? For what?

Background: I asked for the statements for the past six years and posted off the letter with a cheque. They returned the cheque saying that this is a free service.
There is no explination of "For What" the charge is titled 'commission for period 02 jun/ 7 sep' £175.70. This seems to appear ALMOST every quarter and the amount varies from £2 to £175 over the past six years.

Going back to the lobster/edin conversation....Martin's site is excellent, but with my claim I was after a little bit of help that was more personal to my situation. Consumer Corner offer this. The CAG website is good for reading case studies and general advice but CC give a more personal response.When people are asking for help, it seems to be that they are looking for advice that is not included in Martin's article, as the article itself is a basic outline of the steps that are needed to be taken. Hope I am not treading on anyones toes with this, but Consumer Corner ( I have no affiliation with them) really are the best site to get a personal response.Thanksg1W
