Santander Bank charges

Hi,
I just had a question, the banl told they only can excuse 1 banking charge per year as a goodwill gesture. Ive been successfully have reclaimed more then 6 barges charges this year due to me having a low income and simply not able to afford it. The latest charge was due direct debit where there wasnt enough funds although i cancelled the direct debit with my car insurance. They put the money back in the same day but I am still left with a £35 banking charge which Santander are saying is totally valid.
What can I do the reclaim that bank charges and any further ones?
I can't close my account yet with Santander till I get the charges & overdraft are paid :-(
And also I get monthly interest for the unpaid overdraft in my account, those are valid right? You can't claim them back under financial difficulties or can you?
Thanks in advance,

Have you read the MSE guides to reclaiming bank charges?
It explains the possible options (even if the legally based challenges haven't proven succesful yet)."Now to trolling as a concept. .... Personally, I've always found it a little sad that people choose to spend such a large proportion of their lives in this way but they do, and we have to deal with it." - MSE Forum Manager 6th July 20100
