Bank: Barclays
Amount Reclaimed: £996 inc interest
Amount they paid: £870

The story: Wrote to them Feb 17th. Received a letter some 4 weeks later saying they were sorry I felt the need to complain and they would look into my complaint and respond by 24th April.
22nd April, received a letter stating that they were "as a good will gesture" prepared to offer me £870 to compensate fro the £870 in charges.
I accepted... Am more than happy with this..:beer:

They have, however cancelled my overdraft without warning!:cool:

If only "Smile" were as compliant... still dragging their feet even tho I sent the letters on the same date. (they have already cancelled my d/d's and standing orders!. Overdraft next no doubt!

Cheers Martin

Bank: Halifax
Amount Reclaimed: £2432.39
Amount they paid: £2432.39
The story: They tried to fob me off saying they were investigating, I stuck to my timescale and they settled in full one week after I issued proceedings.

Bank: Abbey
Amount Reclaimed: £1503
Amount they paid: £1525
The story: I wrote a letter to Abbey to request statements. This was easy and they sent them well within the 40 days specified. I then wrote away with my request for £1503 they agreed to pay £423 without prejudice. I accepted this and then asked for the other £1000 + court fee. I should have claimed over £1000 but the court fee doubles!!!

The bank entered a defence and the case was transferred to my local county court. I was given a court date of 26th June but the bank wrote and settled today.

I was really suprised that they didn't hang it out longer but then they know they will lose.

I am now going to close my bank account and open with A & L. Now I just need to make sure I stay in credit!!!:rotfl:

Good luck all
