NatWest Bank Charges

I am having horrendous debt/repayment problems & have heard that I can reclaim bank charges. On my statements, I see items under 'card misuse' and 'referral charges'; presumably where they have knocked back standing orders/DDs etc. Can I claim these back?

    In July alone, I paid £680 in bank charges, referral fees & card misuse fees. I feel so utterly depressed.

    It is an excellent site and the forum moderators are so helpful. You won't get your charges back over night but it is defo worth it. I am currently in the process of getting mine back.
    Good luck and try not to let it get you down :beer:
