Reclaiming Bank Charges

Hi all

I'm in a mood to do battle and have sat down and estimate that about a quarter of my debt to Banks & Credit Card companies is charges and interest on overdrawn balances etc.

My mission for the weekend is to write to ALL of these companies and ask them for statements showing the charges etc. I then intend to claim every penny back from them, taking it as far as i need to.

As an aside i have also been charged a substantial amount by my secured loan company when they persued me for late payments etc. I am wondering if anyone has any thoughts on whether i can reclaim these for the same reason. My own view is that the same principle applies. Any thoughts or ideas would be gratefully appreciated, as usual.

I will of course let you all know how i get on. I am very excited at the prospect of reducing my debt by about £15,000 in total.

Wish me luck guys.
