Credit card fees

in Credit cards
With all the PPI claims in the news it got me thinking about an annual fee I was charged by Barclaycard as a student which I wasn't made aware of when i signed up.
Any joy on claiming that back plus the interest from over 10 years ago?
It was a student barclaycard and they tempted you to sign up with a free mobile phone (one of those Phillips bricks which was PAYG and cost 50p a minute and 30p a text back then!).
About a year later I'd been charged £20 on the credit card account and when I asked they said it was an annual fee. Being a young student I assumed I should have read the small print and it was my fault so I couldn't complain to them.

Correct. There's nothing to claim here.0 -
They will refund the £20 plus interest, totalling £35.
But you have to return a brand new market leading mobile phone, an iPhone 4s, to them,0
