    72 statements omg ;)

    Is there any way of asking the bank just to provide you with a list of the charges it has made?

    it will be loads to write down. I get charged about £1 a month for going into overdraft on my main account and though rarely now I do get hit with the £30 pound charges.

    It really doesn't take that long once you start, think it took me a couple of hours, best rate of pay per hour I'll ever earn.

    LTSB sent me a summary of bank charges - Jan. 2008. HSBC sent me all my statements, going back 6 years, in 2007.
