bank charges...and loan ..advice please

hi.. just a question that maybe someone could answere for us please...

bacically we had our own business when finished 2 years ago we were in business for 5 years.. but do to the lease we could not opt out so had to stick with it.... that's why we are up to our eyeballs in debt ...

first of all i did not know the extent of the debt untill the business finished and then hubby dropped the bomb shell.....we owed neally 19k to the bank and another 3k to other creditors... the smaller crecditors we have or in the middle of paying off.. and the bank we had a loan for 10 years to pay it back....plus a 3k on a credit card.. which he used to pay for stock from..

what my gripe is.. first of all the bank kept on giving him bigger loans to cover the ever expanding overdraft and running cost of the business...

i know that the business finished 2 years ago and that i dont have the bank statements etc....as soon as the shop closed i had to sort out the mess..as hubby's head was totally in the shed by then...

but could i still try and claim back any charges they put on the business...and is there any remote possibility that we could claim off the bank... as at the end of the day ....i feel they were putting my hubby further and further into debt by increasing the loans knowing that the business was not making money......so hense could not afford the repayments..... it was barclays bank....and as i say....in the end i had to have a bank loan of 20k just to cover their loan and overdraft... the loan was personal unsecured loan...

sorry to wittle on... but to be honest its only now i am starting to have a clearer head about it all.......
