Bank: First Direct

Amount Reclaimed: £215 + £1.49 interest, totalling £216.49

Amount they paid: £245 (additional £30 charge since letter on top of £215). They refused interest, but I'm not about to go to court for £1.49.

The story:
I read the guide which Martin so kindly gave us all to read and decided to check it out and try and get back my money. I know it doesn't seem a lot, but £245 is a lot for a student budget.

I only needed to write one letter which they responded with a standard reply, and then they sent me another saying they accept no liability but due to "commercial considerations" *ahem, what rubbish* they will pay up.

I didn't even need to issue a claim online.

Just in case you're wondering, you can claim for BOTH the excess overdraft fee and the overdraft fee with First Direct.

Thanks Martin!

All in all, as of today I have reclaimed £3500.00

Definately worth sticking with it. Ignore the letters to compromise etc, and get YOUR money back. Act now before doors start closing or banks find a way out.

Bank: HSBC
Amount Reclaimed: £973
Amount they paid: £825

It's easy, eveyone has to do it. Three maybe four letters, a small amount of time and the money is yours, just follow the guide and don't be afraid to threaten court action. Also, keep on top off your dates, if you've said 14 days and there hasn't been a response move to the next phase, they'll soon pay up. The guy I spoke with at HSBC's Service Quality Team was avctually helpfully!:T

Bank: Woolwich aka Barclays
Amount Reclaimed: £1290
Amount they paid: £1260

Oh my word! I never thought I would be posting this thread. Today on returning from work I had a letter from the Woolwich offering said amount.
After just two letters they had until today as the original date quoted to look into my query.

Huge thanks to Martin, his team and follow claimants, without who I wouldn't have had the guts to go for it.
