Reclaim Bank Charges

Options
Morning Guys and Girls

When this topic was discussed all those years ago, like everybody else i put a claim in and found out that i was entitled to claiming back over £3000. I put a claim in and was put on Hold then later closed once the court made its decision and i left it at that.

Now, I'm reading on this forum that I could of claimed Financial Hardship... which i wasn't aware of at the time.

I have since moved house and lost most (if not all) of the past paper work i had.

Due to the large amount of money, would it be worth me starting the claim from the beginning again, this time going through the financial hardship route? or would it not make much difference?

Thanks in advance

    No such entitlement has ever existed. You were entitled to make a complaint and see how they handled the complaint but that is all.

    Are you currently in financial hardship and are you currently incurring charges? If so, then yes you could complain and ask for a refund of charges. If you are not currently in hardship and incurring charges then its too late typically.
