    Why is it unfair?
    The terms and conditions would be my first port of call where I am sure that the charges will be explained to you.

    Unfair bank charges are charges made for breach of contract which are only allowed to reflect the actual cost to the bank as a result of the breach.

    As already stated, the costs quoted to exit the loan will be part of the T&Cs and not penalty charges so you would not be able to claim them back.
  • Thanks for the replies, Ive tried to read all i can, but find it very confusing, but now i have the info from the horses mouths so to speak.
