Bank Charges - Letter from my Bank

Dear Sirs

I am one of many who attempted to reclaim bank charges. I received a letter from my bank stating that, in light of the court outcome my claim will be dropped and considered dealt with within 8 weeks if I do not respond. What do I do now? I would like to proceed but have no idea what to do next.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

    Martin Lewis will be updating everyone around the middle of January with what steps can be taken next. There are other routes to take, but its important that people don't count on the money as it may never be repaid.

    There is still hope though, I would just sit tight until there is an announcement on the moneysavingexpert email :)

    So would many.

    Martin has even employed a top barrister ... but still nothing published yet regarding an alternative legal arguement.

    At the moment there is no legal right to their refund ... but sign up to the MSE email and you'll be the first to know should the situation change (in the eyes of Martin's barrister at least).

    Hello Dortoto, and welcome to the boards.

    Keep looking back on here for Martins announcement.

    (we're all friends on here, 'Dear Sirs' , is a bit formal, just 'hello there' is good.) :j
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.
  • Thank you very much I'll keep my eyes open for updates on the situation, thanks again
