As guys and gals who may have incurred bank charges

I thought you may be interested in this story, I posted on the reclaim your charges board. Sorry if repetitions are not allowed!!
My workmate had a call from a company called Reclaim2Gain, who explained that they could reclaim your bank charges for you. She hadnt got any but passed them onto her BF who has.
When she put the phone down i explained that you could claim them yourself thanks to sites like this. In a panic she tried to call her BF, who was by then on the phone to the company.
When she eventually got through, the BF had paid £39.95 for the privelage of the company contacting the bank on his behalf, plus a promise he would receive 80% of anything successfully claimed!!!!!!!
That sounded bad enough to me, paying for something you could do yourself, but of course some potentially rogue company has got his bank details!!
Beware peeps!!

If he did it over the phone, he should be able to tell the company he isn't interested. He hasn't signed an agreement yet has he?After falling off the gambling wagon (twice): £33,600 (24,000+ 9,600) - Original CC Debt: £7,885.91

Claim 2 Gain are not a rogue company and are fully legit and CRM registered with the ministry of justice. However, I dont rate them as being very good, and have seen quite a few of their letters, as I work for MBNANo Longer works for MBNA as of August 2010 - redundancy money will be nice though.
