Can the Bank freeze an account while claiming unfair charges?

Hello All

My otherhalf and I were discussing this the other day and when I said I was about to follow the advice on here (thanks guys its great to have all this info BTW :j) and he had a fit saying NONONO the bank will freeze the account - he has "heard" that some people have been left without a bank account once this claim has been started... he can't remember where he has read this (surprise surprise!) and it seems very unlikely to me - but clearly I am not keen to embark on something that will lead to long term pain in the butt!

Any advice anyone??? Thanks

Emma

    Give him a slap ;)
    Once he has recovered get him to post the first letter reclaiming charges back to July 2001 :)
    I have not worked for NatWest Bank since February 2009
