Bank charge reclaiming

willtheywontthey

I've read the guidance bit but need somebody to clarify if possible?

I have calculated bank charges over last 6 years and sent letter to bank (Barclays0 asking for my money back with interest. I know there's a test-case coming up and that martin's guide says carry on as normal BUT then he says the Financial Ombudsman isn't taking on any new cases. Sooooo am I right to assume there's absolutely nothing I can do IF I do not wish to go 'courts' route and that writing to the Ombudsman would be waste of time?

Thanks

i was about to apply online to the courts the day before that announcement came and then i had second thoughts but i went ahead with it anyway it did cost me £120 for the online court system and then £40 for a warrant to be sent but i got all my money back the other week £3771.04 i couldnt believe it so i would say go for it you never know
