*New* Help to reclaim packaged bank acc fees?

Hi,
I'm new and trying to figure out how to try to reclaim the fees from my packaged bank account as I know I was mis-sold it. However, whilst I actually remember the conversation about the account I can't remember the year. It was either in 2001 when I was taking out my first mortgage or 2005 when I took out my second. I am fairly sure it was 2001, as I was alone (2nd mortgage was joint). I know I was mis-sold as I very clearly was told that to get the mortgage I needed to take out this account and that I would get cheaper home insurance than any other provider with that account. I realise now that I was mis-sold, but not sure if I can claim as I can't remember the date of that conversation (how do I find out when my account was upgraded?) and because I have an overdraft (which I have been in for many years) and also because I have claimed on the travel insurance and used the breakdown service in recent years.
Any advice would be gratefully received.
Thanks in advance!

If you have claimed against the benefits though, I can't see you getting a full refund for all the years you've had the account. You would have had to get travel insurance and car breakdown cover elsewhere at a cost.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Budgeting & Bank Accounts, Credit Cards, Credit File & Ratings and Energy boards.
