Santander shocking!!

I wrote to Santander requesting a refund on my bank charges, which was knocked back, during the time I waited for a reply, I went into branch and requested copies of my bank statements. I was told that they do not hold any of my details as my account was closed in 2007.... if this is the case how have they made a decision not to repay my bank charges if they have nothing to go on??!! HELP :mad:

    You should have told them exactly which charges you were asking to be considered to be refunded.

    Doesn't sound like you did...:(

    Because the bank charges case was lost (by the OFT), the banks won and only exceptional circumstances are accepted now.
