    Saying they can claim back monies on my behalf and saying they hold some form of records for bank charges I can claim back, they are sending me a application form to sign as we speak I have just been reading about this company so now am not so sure if its a good idea they are also asking me for a copy of details on my passport and driving licence which I am finding a little odd too ???

    Yes, that is clearly a scam. There is no pot of money to be claimed. There is no list of charges in the public domain. Since the banks won the court case on bank charges, there have only been a couple of known successes. One of those is still in legal system and the other was highly unusual circumstances and unique.
