Mark@RBS: "It'll be paid into your account today"

It appeared in my account on Thursday! And for the first time in 8 years, my bank account was in credit and due to stay that way for the future!

Hey Scottishspendaholic

Congratulations and good luck with keeping out of the overdraft.

The letter arrived yesterday, the bank offered me a full refund of my charges, court fee and interest. The letter came the same day as the letter from the court with my hearing date...do they work in the same office? !:rotfl:

Hi Guys

being a new girl I don't understand this 100% - I bank with Nationwide, a basic Flex account. They charge us between £25 and £32 per bounced DD. There are no overdraft fee's as we don't have one. Even if something bounces and it's my fault - insufficient funds etc can I still claim back the fees? When they charge us, they wiat for the salaries to go in, take their charges and then the train of tigger bouncing and charges starts again. It's another cost that we can do without and one we certainly don't budget for. Please advise.

Thank guys

Apols if this has already been covered (just point me in the right direction), but....

I've done all the first and second letter bits to our bank/credit card co and was all set about to file claim when I read somewhere that all bank charge claims were being put on hold until one particular case is settled.

Is this the case?

Am I better off holding onto my claim fee for now or should I file anyway?

If I hold back, should I write to the banks concerned and say that I was all primed to do so until I heard about x case but intend to continue the claim as soon as that issue is resolved?

What am I best off doing? Between my partner and I there is almost £3000, all of which, aside from measely goodwill gestures which I have turned down, is being refuted. £3000 is too much to let go if it is rightfully ours. I don't want to lose out.

well done pondsaver - if only they all paid up that quick!

Although - the 8% interest is a nice little 'extra' on old accounts!
