Is it worth it?

After watching Martin on tv last night, I thought I'd check through my statements and see if I should reclaim. I've discovered a total of 6 penalty charges of £30 each over the last 6 years, on my joint account with my ex husband.
Given that I'd have to split anything with him anyway, is it really worth the effort of trying to claim £120 for me to just get £60? I know £60 is £60, but most of these claims you hear about is for multiple thousands, or at least several hundred. Is it really worth the effort of me doing this, and the hassle of getting my ex to agree to do it as well? I've had the impression it's only for people who are trying to get back thousands of pounds worth.

hi snugglepuss
why not, its worth a couple of letters surely, have a look a the boards that show the success of having refunds back, and you will see lots of low amounts.
