Bank Charges

Sorry if this is in the wrong area.. but i want to be debt free.
Now, i want to reclaim excessive Credit Card and Bank charges that i've been charged over the years. My question is- how far back can i claim?
I've found some useful templates of letters on the internet.. and the credit card one seems to suggest that (this is UK) i can find out what i have been charged over the last 6 years via the Data Protection Act 1998.. but i want to go back further, to when i was a student and the banks were ripping me to pieces.
Any advice welcome.

Sign up to the Consumer Action Group forum. They have all the template letters and step by step instructions on their site.

Unfortunately legislation (or something like that) means you can only claim for the last 6 years! :doh:0
