    Use the same letter just change the wording slightly..

    from a post by nickmark

    You can claim 'late fees'

    Just change the text to say 'Late payment penalties' or whatever your Credit Card company words them as.
  • Hi guys!;)

    I just started going through all this Reclaim your bank charges thing. I have debit,credit and saving accounts with HSBC. I have some charges to reclain from my debit account for bounced cheques and failed direct debits. It is pretty much clear, but I have some charges on my credit card that I dont know what to do about...:confused:
    My credit card is overdrawn by £200. Bank for some reason set up a direct debit with my debit card account to transfer arount £20 a month on a overdrawn credit card. As well as that they charge my credit card two separate sums of £21 and £11 each month. Its total charge of £32 plus £20 from my debit card. They take £52 a month of me for £200 overdraft!!!:mad: What of it can claim back? How should I call it? And can I claim debit and credit card charges together or should I make two separate claims?:confused:

    Can anyone help me with some advise?
    Had anyone been in similar situation?

    Hi all

    Not sure if this is the right place to post.

    I currently have a credit card with Virgin Money (boo, hiss!) and they regularly charge me £12 for being late with payments. Is this something I can claim back or are they within their rights because it is only £12?

    Although the OFT have said they regard fees over £12 as unfair. They also said that only a court can decide if a £12 charge is fair.

    Yes, you can claim these fees. The bank will probably say that the OFT considers £12 a fair charge, but as I pointed out......only a court can decide this.

  • Can you reclaim credit card fees the same way you do bank fees. I ahve told all and sundry about this site and the bank reclaim process. I am currently part way through pursuing £2k+. A few of the people I have told have asked if this works the same way for credit cards like Barclaycard or Capital One.

    Anyone have any ideas

    :confused:

  • I'm in the process of claiming back over £100 from Capital One. I'm just waiting to see what tehy will do. I have heard that many ppl have been sucessful in claiming back from credit card companies though the actual charges you can claim back differ from bank charges.
  • Can you reclaim charges from credit card companies like you can from banks ?

    If you can is it too late to reclaim charges if you have closed the account ?
