    Hi all
    First post so here goes. Sent 1st template letter requesting information on 24th September 2007. Recieved letter today saying as a gesture of goodwill and not accepting liability or error they are prepared to pay £56.16 as the difference between origional £20 and current £12 and includes any associated intrest charges.

    Should i accept?

    Also says to complete the form to accept and return in the enclosed envelope.Guess what .......NO Envelope!! cheap skates.

    The total charges for 6 years are £36 over limit fees & £148 late fees.

    Cheers
    Colin

    the ruling by the official body was that £12 was a fair price so I think you can only hope for & expect the difference between the 2 fees

    Do you think that it's feasible to factor in a percentage charge of 25% not 8% when I reclaim my charges?

    Your not actually entitled to the 8% unless it goes to court and it's awarded by a judge. It's up to you, but I wouldn't try and claim 25% as I don't think you could provide convincing evidence to a court shoudl it be requested.

    I went through the FO and got full amount back from Mint after I turned down the offer of difference between £12 and £20 and I am just waiting on payout from Natwest having turned down their offer as well.
