  • has anyone used a banking company to reclaim their charges and if so how did they get on. I have been approached by one such company but their fee is 25% + vat. Are these people legitimate?

    Please see Martins article (link in my signature) for his opinion on these firms.
  • I am going start reclaiming my bank charges but would like to enlist the help of a legal company. I would rather it was in 'safe hands' as it were, and I know I'll have to pay a commission. I have seen lots of law firms on the internet who reclaim bank charges, but I would be interested to know if any of you have used any of them. Are there any I should steer clear of? Any recommendations or advice would be gratefully received!

  • I have removed the website from your post as its not MSE policy to give these companies any publicity whatsoever.

    As you will see from previous posts, the recommendation on MSE is to do it youself!
  • Has anyone used this site or any other site similar to this to reclaim there charges?

    Is this legitimate?


    Thanks in advance.
  • Is there no depths to which some people will stoop :

    Just as sad as the many different companies charging people for reclaiming their charges!
  • Hi I got an email from a site called **website removed** today but deleted it and wish I didn't now so I had the right name but anyway seemingly they are offering to find out if you can reclaim your bank charges for you and not charge £10 which they state other companies do but I wouldn't use them I just thought I'de mention it incase it is a scam thing and anyone uses it I'm not really sure about it:confused: still didn't delv into it enough but suspect they would probably ask for personal details:eek: no way

    For the above reason I have removed the website name and ebay link so these sites aren't given any publicity on MSE.

    No reflection on you sunnydays, just policy.
