Forgot to mention ive sent my bank charges reclaim letter back today, total was £645.37 including interest, hopefully will hear back from them soon.

Havnt been on much as Ive been working 60+ hours a week at work, but I got some great news today, I sent off my first letter claiming back bank charges totalling £645 inc interest last Thursday and got a reply today, basically saying they didnt agree with my complaint letter and charges were fair but as a good gesture will they were willing to give me £593 back.

Ive just got to send off the reply letter now and hopefully it will all be sorted soon Brilliant!

Everyone who is trying, DONT give up.. youll get what your owed.

Will hopefully be on after the weekened a bit more. Working away again tommorow and wednesday.

I just found your thread - haven't seen it for a while. How's it going?

£50 for presents on Valentines Day? TIGHT? Sorry mate, you're having a laugh ain't ya? (In best cockerney accent )

Sweetie, if you were rolling in it, perhaps £50 might be tight. But you're not.

And it isn't.

You could have paid yer Gran off *and* still got the GF something sweet for £18

Anyway hope things are going well for you and you're not too knackered with long weeks.
