    Fingers crossed for thursday
  • Lets wait for thursday and I bet you when they say we can have some charges back I bet you that when i contact my banks they will have forgotten how much I was claiming for. :confused: Especially alliance and leicester, I am sure when you send them a secure message its a computer replying and not a person, the message is always the same.

    So if either side wins outright then the other side appeals it could be 2009 before a resolution is found. Wonder if the waiver will stay until then. It would be in the bank's interests if it does because with every month that passes more charges must be dropping off. I assume the banks have now reworded their t&cs to make them as watertight and claim proof as they can.
