Successful Overdraft PPI claim - Barclays

Hi,

Just thought I’d give an update .

I contacted Barclays regarding my current account on 21st May and during the conversation I asked about a fee that I had been paying each and every month of £12.

Long story short this was PPI for the overdraft which had been added to my account when I was a student. Lovely lady on the phone took a few details and asked if I wanted to make a complaint. I said well I was a student in 1998 and can’t remember agreeing to be be charged £12 a month when I wouldnt have been earning.

Looked in my account this morning and £9574 has been credited for PPI refund and interest.

This has come at such a good time as I can now clear all my debts (£5000) and keep some for a rainy day. Something I’ve never been able to do.
