Can anyone explain to me how I claim my bank charges back and if there's a way to do it without getting all my old statements as my bank makes me pay £5 each for these and i've been with them about 8 years so it would cost as much or possibly more than I'd end up getting back

some banks are on line register with them . My online banking statements go back 18 months . Try ringing customer services depends on who answers some people or more helpful than others.

Talk to username 'Angelus'

I think he was dealing with something similar.

I think it tells you what to do on there. I havn't really read through it so I'm not sure if it will help you..

Go into your bank brandishing a shotgun (or two if you're good) and demand your charges are re-imbursed.

banks only keep your records for 6 years , online tends to start you statements from when you register and copy statements genreally cost yo u £5 for the lot not each !

Hi Mandy25

Try www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk

I had my charges returned from Abbey. The site will give you all the info you need to do this, and its free.

Banks are legaly bound (by the data protection act) to supply, on request, all your statements (or the data from them), they can charge a maximum of £10 for this "service".

I got all my charges back from the bank, it takes time, and can be a bit scarey but it's worth the effort.
