    just because people have the guts to reclaim unlawful bank charges doesn't make them "bad guys".

    One tag doesn't fit every situation so don't slate those you know nothing about, sometimes people get into situations they can't help and the banks take advantage of this.

    Lighten up all those who believe in "it's your fault you get charged". This site does so much good don't spoil it for those who believe otherwise.

    Interesting thread..

    At the end of the day we are all thinking about Number 1. I don't particulary care if so and so has to pay for their bank account - I have incurred charges which I am able to claim back - so I will do so, without feeling I have to in any way justify myself. Just the same as some of you don't care that I have incurred charges - and are only interested in free banking.

    I'm sorry that some of you have felt that you need to justify yourself for re-claiming, go and get your charges back and be happy.

    I will worry about having to pay for banking when it affects me.

    That is all.

    (Caught me at a bad time, was making sliced potatoes tonight on the mandolin and sliced a small chunk off my thumb - so I was already grumpy..and then this!!)
