Dro & bank charge claim

king16

Hi, i have an approved DRO and have been reading up about claiming old bank charges, i have statements proving all the ones i've had and found a letter template from this site to send to my bank.. Am i allowed to claim these back whilst on a DRO? they total around £300?? that is even if they was to say yes and refund them to me. But i don't want to jeopardise my DRO in any way so wasn't sure if i should wait until my DRO is finished next year. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Do they relate to debts in the dro? If so I would leave it until your dro completes.

Would an asset of £300 take you over £1000 of assets? Again, I would leave it.

That boat has long since sailed unfortunately.

It's not a gimme that you will get a refund.

You can still try, but wait until your DRO completes first.

Thank you both for your replies i will wait until my DRO has ended just to be safe & like you say sourcrates its not guaranteed they will refund anyways but thought it was worth a try, for the price of a stamp

If the claims are against banks you included in the DRO(or banks in same group), they are also likely to use the refund to offset your old debt.
