Dear all,

I am looking for some advice regarding whether it is worth it for me to attempt to reclaim my bank charges.

I have just studied my previous 6 years bank statements online and I have accumulated £221 of charges all during the period 30/7/2004 to 30/9/2005, due to exceeding my overdradt limit.

My account is with HSBC and I have a £1000 overdraft with them! Is it worth it?!... or are they likely to tell me where to go!

    Its always worth claiming, even if it only reduces what you owe them :)
    Got It & Spent It :dance:
    IKEA CARD = £120 charges = £175 received (146%)
    MARBLES = £450 charges = £370 received (82%)
    I.F. = £494 charges = £494 received (100%)
    CAPITAL ONE = £981 charges = £1,489.03 (152%)
    BARCLAYCARD = £580 charges = £786.12 (136%)
    On Hold :mad:
    A+L = £722 charges (target = 147%)
    BARCLAYS = £1,405 charges (target = 128%)
    BARCLAYS = £175 charges (target = 140%)
    ABBEY = £3,220 charges (target = 148%)

    Thanks Loz!

    Another quick question! Do I have to send the re-claim letter to my local HSBC branch? Or is there a national address? I'd prefer not to send it to my local branch cos my mam works there! :eek:
