  • Hi everyone

    My bank charges £15.00 for every so many days I am over my business account overdraft. I did write to them but was told that it is not possible to claim these back.

    Does anyone have experience of sucess with this

    Thanks in advance
  • Can you claim overdraft charges on Business accounts ? I have a saturday only business and accept credit cards . I am overdrawn on my account and everything i take from the credit card facility is swallowed up by the overdraft . In the mean time i am being charged for having an un authorised overdraft ( Only way of accepting credit card is by opening a business account ) I now cant pay supplies as cheques will be retuned unpaid . I cant actually use my account now . Does anyone have some advice ? Thanks
  • I claimed on my business bank accounts

    Both were Nat West and I claimed unauthorised overdraft charges, charges for paying when overdrawn and bounced cheques. Went through the same system as with a personal account and got everything I claimed without going to court.

  • Hello

    Sorry wrong section
  • In 2006 I was diagnosed with cancer and unable to work. Halifax Bank was informed of this I asked them to freeze interest,sent S.O.A etc. I was then £2,117 o/d. Numerous letters later I am £2,700 o/d due to interest charges. I have not used the account since 2006 and have no money going into it.
    I have received demands for payment, Halifax representative calling at my home address and have now received a letter saying they are taking me to court to enable them to send bailiffs round
    I owe money to other creditors who have been sympathetic, I am at my wits end as I do not know what to do. I am frightened that they will put a charging order on my home
    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    I am gonna ask someone I know to answer the question. I think yes but the FAQ;s here seem to indicate uncertainty in the matter.
    I have not worked for NatWest Bank since February 2009

  • Hi, can anyone tell me if i can reclaim the business overdraft review fee of £125.00 we pay for a £10,000.00 overdraft, i notice that in the bank charges section it says business charges are not covered but this is a one off annual fee for writing one letter to say ' yes you still have an overdraft facility of £10,000':mad:

    Certainly worth writing to request it back, the worst they can say is no but they could offer it back as a gesture of goodwill. worth a go!
    No you're not a vegetarian if you eat any animal or fish, so do not insult genuine veggies by calling yourself one! :mad:

    Thanks to everyone who posts competitions. You are the stars of the board :T:j:T
