  • My personal account and business account were with the same bank but with different branches I transferred my business account to another bank this time last year and have all bank statements for the business account.
    I have downloaded letter for personal account to reclaim charges and have a parachute account in place.
    Question Can I claim back charges on closed business account and if so is there a suitable template :confused:
  • You can use the same letter but please read the previous posts in this thread as there are a number of business charges that you can't claim.
  • Does anyone know whether the reclaim of charges etc applies to small business and company accounts?

    Yes I'd like to know that, and with VAT (Customs & Excise) who charge you £ 400 when you are 1 day late on your VAT return. I don't think £ 400 is a realistic charge but they are a Govt dept so perhaps thet think they are above the law ?
  • hi all,
    i have a barclays business account as a sole trader , is it possible for me to claim back with it being a business account.
    i contacted the bank but they say not possible.
    thanks
  • if i have read the posts in this thread correctly a business account holder can reclaim penalty charges for going over authorised overdraft, returned direct debits and switch card guaranteed payments. is this correct?

    I have a small businness and am being crippled by bank charges interest etc but i am in a large overdraft. It is damaging my business as as soon as i make money it is being swallowed up by bank charges as well as all my other bills.
    Please help! I'm desperate
    Thankyou in advance.
  • apologies if already answered elsewhere

    we have a small business and have to pay an overdaft arrangement fee, also charges on the overdraft

    various charges ie cheque etc- what if any can we claim for. :confused:

    also even if we are in credit we are charged for cheques, standing orders etc


    Thanks in advance
  • Can anyone tell me if the same applies to a small partnership business account with regards to claiming for overdraft excess charges as to a personal account?

    thanks keycon
