    Hi,
    this totals £100 now and it doesn't help when you're trying to get your finances back on track!

    You obviously can't look after your Finances that's why you keep going Overdrawn!

    I claimed 2 years ago for bank charges from Barclays before this all became (very) common knowledge. I wasn't aware I could go back 6 years and so accepted an amount for 1 year only (around £300)

    Does anyone know if I can now claim back the full 6 years? I have barely gone o/d since then but before then I was constantly incurring at least £105 a month charges! We are so strapped right now and our car has been written off - the extra money would really come in handy.

    Any advice will be gratefully received right now.
    After 4 years of heartache, 3 rounds of IVF and 1 loss :A - we are finally expecting our miracle Ki11en - May 2014 :j

    And a VERY surprise miracle in March 2017!

    I think I did. I thought that might cause a problem.....

  • Did you then by any chance keep copies of the offer with letters??

    I didn't as I moved shortly after and thought it was all done and dusted.

    Do you think it would be worth me claiming anyway and seeing if I get anywhere? :confused:

    No harm in trying ....at the end of the day...the bank will inform you if you did sign and agree to full and final...if they do....ask for a copy of your original letter that states you signed to the terms...also, if you are successfull you CANNOT claim back further than 6 years and remember to omit the year they paid you or the amount in respect of.

    Thanks for that. I'm hoping they don't have a copy because shortly after, they closed my account. They only re opened it after weeks of me going into the branch and arguing till I was blue in the face!

    I'll send my letter off tomorrow along with my OH's to Lloyds TSB and see where we get.

  • Hi everyone,

    A few weeks ago I was successful in reclaiming back by bank charges (just before the put a hold on everything).

    At the time of offer I had to sign a form to say that I was accepthing this offer as full and final settlement. However since this happend I have been charged again, at the same rates (£100!!).

    What I would like to know is that would I be able to reclaim these new charges, once the current situation with the FSA and courts gets resolved?? Or by me signing this form has basically said that I can not claim further reimbursement of charges.

    Has anyone been in this situation???

    Many thanks.
