Hi Savememorecashmartin!

It's a great feeling and super timing! I was also very worried at the propsect of reclaiming from A&L because there's very little about A&L on this site. My partner thought I was mad and I truly thought they'd set a precedent with me by actually revealing their costs therefore losing my case!

But I thought, to hell with it - I've got Martin on my side!

What's even better is that the whole process took about a month - with all those festive bank holidays in between.

Now go get them! And get all YOUR money back! :j

If you look on the right hand side of http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/ You will see you are definately not the only one claiming/claimed against A&L

I have messed up/mistimed a standing order and as a result, have been charged £25 (letter sent to me) plus £25 overdraft fee still to be added according to online banking for going overdrawn by £99 for 3 days :eek: . Busy kicking myself as the standing order is from A&L to ... A&L for the Direct Saver and only ended up within insufficient funds because I paid back my stooze from credit card early. Currently very annoyed with myself :mad: as I am fortunate in having funds available in other accounts, plus more with A&L, and could have left an extra £100 in without a proble,m.

Anyway, does the fact it is my fault alter the fact that £50 for 3 days overdraft of £99 seems excessive?

Many thanks

Hi all.

Some help please.

Has anyone had any refunds from Alliance and Leicester Bank.

I have gone through the process of getting the statements and sending 3 x letters and they are still refusing to return any charges. Thery are evening sayiny that it only applies to Credit Cards, and not normal accounts.

Any advice would be very appreciated.

Regards

Hi Mark
if you go to the following link, you will see lots of people on the cag website who are claiming, and successfully claimed from A & L.

I am at the beginging of mine, just sent off the first letter, after calculating the charges.

Good luck with yours, keep on track with the instructions, and you will succeed.

Well i have just put in the claim at the court, but i didn't have to enter a county court. Is that right?

I was with Alliance & Leicester about 2 years back and got charged £22.50 for being overdrawn by 13p. I wasnt really checking my statement during the period and before I realised the Charges had reached about £100. I confronted them and was told 22.5 would be wiped of if I paid there and then - which I did.

Now my question is can I reclaim these charges back from A&L?

and also they closed my account after I had paid the charges - is there any chance of me opening another account with them?

Hi
I sent my stage 1 letter on Monday 8/1/07, and I have today recieved the 1st bog off letter, charges are fair etc.

Do I need to wait the full 14 days, or can I go to the next stage?

Many Thanks
