  • Credit card PPI claimed from MBNA. Questionnaire posted 16 days ago. Initial letter to say it had been received 8 days ago. Letter today- day 16 saying cheque for £1524 will be sent out within 28 days. Bank of Scotland questionnaire sent same day received correspondance to say they had received questionnaire and would get back to me within 8 weeks. No word as yet. Thank you for all the advice.

    Certainly. £12 overlimit fees and late payment charges.

    Well done on the successes. It is really inspiring me.

    May I ask, are the recent successes for cc refunds all now due to hardship claims or simply asking for a refund?

    Little Mo - thanks for your motivation on the other thread. I posted off to three banks yesterday to ask for a list of charges. Fingers crossed.
  • Hi Guys,

    Needs some good advice.

    Basically I have banked with santander (formally alliance and leicester) & MBNA (formally alliance and leicester i think), and was wondering should I ring them both up as I have 2 accounts in question one is a current account and the other is a credit card. I have had these account for around 8-10 years and have lots of charges on them.

    The question is should i call them both and ask for a statement of charges or full statements and also should I write to them via post, which would be better and quicker. Also If i request statements for the last 8-10 years will it cost a maximum of £10 or more??

    Can you please give me some advice as soon as possible so I can get the ball rolling.

    Thanks people.

    Provider: Monument (previously Providian)
    Amount Reclaimed: £1104
    Amount they paid: £492 :T
    The story: Sent initial letter on 10/1/2012 after trawling through my statements and adding up all the charges. They replied within a few days saying they are looking into it and will reply by 10/2/2012. Letter received today dated 9/2/2012 offering £492. I decided to accept as I don't want it to drag out and I do feel responsible for some charges due to account mis-management so I'm happy with the offer. Letter on its way to Vanquis now!
