    1/ When you open an account you are informed of the charges

    2/ If you can't manage money is it OK that everyone else should pay for it ?(when the inevitably claw the money back by ending free banking)
    Best to steer clear of topics you misunderstand baggy. We wouldn't want a sudden spark of inspiration on any one of them igniting all that straw you keep between your ears, would we? Not after the last time, when someone had to put the flames on your fizzog out with that shovel!

      I sent off three letters yesterday which relate to our 3 accounts and between them they total about 6k of charges and interest.
      Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

      I preferred version 1!

        I had to talk my friend into doing this. He didnt want to do it, saying that it was going to be to complicated. I had read the guides over at MSE quite a few times and filed my claim. My friend got paid £2349 on Friday and he was only claiming for £1937, and that was already including his interest!!

          Those whom would foster and encourage this theft from our noble Banking institutions are tantamount to terrorists - in the guise of fairness they are undermiming the bedrock of our societys values - the unfettrered rights of Fianancial institutions to fleece the public.

          Black burning shame on all whom have unfairly claimed money from our noble banking institutions.

                Are you admitting you can't control the household budget?

                No disputing the charges are excessive, but, most of these charges are outlined when you open the account, everyone has the opportunity to go to a bank that doesn't charge the fees. But oh no, too dosey to find the best account and too dosey to stick within the terms and conditions and then want compensating for their own mismanagement. It's the blame culture gone mad.
                The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

                But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”
