    Reclaim Bank Charges Help Thread

    You will need to provide your banks with your full name and address with postcode, date of birth, dates accounts opened/closed in order for them to trace you. Include all these details when you send off your SAR (Subject Access Request).

    Good luck :)

  • I don't think not knowing dates will matter - I used to work for a bank and we could find people through names and addresses (but that was a while ago...). Maybe try going into a branch of the bank you used and ask them. Just take a form of ID like your passport so they can identify you. Then once you have your account details, use this site and follow each step, starting with a parachute bank account and then getting all your old statements. I have just helped my brother reclaim £2480 from Lloyds - good luck!
