How Much Can I *Really* Claim?

Hello.

I am trying to sort out how much money I can claim back. I have read the guide, but I am still quite confused.

When it says the banks now charge £12, does that mean I can claim the amount -£12 on each thing? So if I was charged £35 on a transaction I can claim £23 of that back?

Edit:: Allow me to be a bit more precise:

Every month I am being charged £12 overlimit fe on my credit card. I don't have the money to pay it, and it is always the fee which puts me over the limit (My card's balance might be £195 at the end of the month), so I am charged an overlimit fee for being over the limit they put me over.

Is there any chance - seeing as I am with Natwest, and the fee is £12, that I would see any of that money back?

    Even with that edit that I added? Or just that change matters?

    Oh, also, should I add 'credit cards' to the pre-written letter?

    Yes you can get it all back. Thousands of people have. Read the Success Stories and the Natwest Thread as well as the Reclaim Help Thread and start claiming!

    Right. will do.

    One final point which has been niggling me. Is this the right address to send the initial letter to Natwest:

    Retail Regulatory Risk
    2nd Floor
    Cornerstone
    60 South Gyle Crescent
    Edinburgh
    EH12 9WF

    It's the one in the Help Thread, but I just worry because it has nothing about Natwest in the address (Like Natwest House or something!).
