    Someone lost a case today against Abbey when claiming for compensation. They got their charges back but the compensation claim was not paid. I'l try and find a link.

    How will you quantify 'trauma'?

  • i have been charged for the whole of my married life of 5 years - can i claim some sort of compensation for the stress of being in debt during these 5 years ??? even claiming all the monies back does not really do justice for me. i have had 5 years of anxiety and would not have been in debt if there were no such charges - please advise anyone.

    thanks from kam_the_man
