Abbey

I have just been charged £50 for going overdrawn by £3.26 (£20 for being o/d, £30 for them clearing a payment)

On the same day, I paid in a cheque for £3,000 and the following day £360 cash was put in.

Apparently I can reclaim charges once a year - which I done last month:o previous to that it has been 6 years since I was last o/d. What can I say to convince them to give me my money back? Are these charges classed as unreasonable? (Yes...I know it was my own fault, I didn't realise the debit payment would clear so fast)

Small potatoes compared to some of the amazing claims on here, I know but does anyone think I will have any luck? I'm not the best at phoning companies....:o

    Who said you can reclaim charges once a year? You can reclaim as many times as you like, although some banks don't like you much anymore after the second try.

    That's what they told me when I phoned last month....once a year, no questions asked.

    I suppose they can decide to be awkward if they want to be, if someone keeps phoning up...

    What a load of rubbish, they make this up as they go along.
