Damn,

Got my statements through the other day for the last 6 years and I was charged a total of £165 in charges over that period despite being at uni! That's actually very disappointing as I was hoping for a good £500!

Looks like I'm better at managing my money than I thought :innocent:

Anyone else had any recent successes with this guys? I understand it's coming to a closure soon correct?

No, but you have to deposit 20% of your earnings over the next 6 months into a special savings account - PM on the way with account details shortly. :innocent:

Did you have a student account Greg?

They are pretty good with their charges.

Yeah mate - that's the trouble.

I remember years back, like 8 or so when I was at college, I used to get charged around £40 for going over. These referral charges are sadly only a tenner each time!

Oh well, good at the time, annoying now! :tongue:

Not sure how all this bank charge claiming works. If a bank has charged someone for going overdrawn on their account, how come its the banks fault ? Has the bank charged more than once for the same overdrawn period or something ?

Basically, they are overcharging. By law you are not allowed to make money on fines. £30 for going overdrawn and sending one letter can be deemed to be over-estimating.

Think I have been missing something here! Can someone please explain this to me in simpleton terms or tell me where I can find info out. I am getting quite excited at the prospect of bending Barclays over, pulling their pants down and giving them a brutal rogering for a change!

There's another thread somewhere about the whole thing. Search for 'bank charges'.
