  • Hi, a new person to all of this:)!

    Re the bank charges, is it also possible to ask credit cards to repay interest?

    They charged me a fortune when my salary was late (I work freelance) so I have had lots of interest charged I'd like to claim back. Is it the same letter for Barclaycard, Amex etc?

    Thanks

  • Hi, can you give me a template letter to send to store card companys? I would like to reclaim my unfair admin costs.

    Thanks
  • Use the templates from the Resource Bar here..

    <table style="border: 1px solid rgb(0, 0, 0);" _base_target="_blank" bgcolor="#f3e7d2" cellpadding="2" width="100%"><tbody _base_target="_blank"><tr _base_target="_blank"><td _base_target="_blank" width="15%">starthere11.gif</td> <td style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" _base_target="_blank" valign="middle"> The Reclaim Bank Charges Resource Bar</td> </tr> </tbody></table> <table style="border: 1px solid rgb(0, 0, 0);" _base_target="_blank" cellpadding="2" width="100%"> <tbody _base_target="_blank"><tr _base_target="_blank"> </tr> <tr _base_target="_blank"><td style="color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 9pt;" _base_target="_blank"> Step-by-step Guide: Reclaim Unfair Bank Charges Calculator: Charge them interest Template Letters: (right click and save) Ask for charge details, Initial letter, Second letter, Small claims note Article: Top New Bank Account</td> </tr> </tbody></table>

    and just amend the wording slightly to suit who you are claiming from.

    As pointed out above by nickmack its penalty charges you can claim back, ie late payment fees but not interest charged because you have paid late.

    We had a couple of store cards, which have now been cut up. :j

    How do I check to see if I was charged on them? It was Top shop and Mothercare if that helps.

    You need to follow the instructions for banks/credit cards, the procedure is the same. Get the address from statements or call them and ask for contact details.

    Hi - another question

    The majority of my charges are from credit card late payment fees.

    Mint, Natwest & Abbey

    Where do I send the initial letters to - obviously there is no local branch - which department?

  • Check the address list here or send to the address on your statements.
