    To be honest my_name, who really gives a shit whether or not we should manage our money better?

    The charges are UNLAWFUL & UNENFORCEABLE - The banks know this yet they continue to impose the charges! Why should there be a law for the banks and a law for everyone else?

    The systems are quite capable of just refusing a transaction if neccesary so they don't even need to let people go over their limits etc if not...

    My friend did what Kermit said to do, about his £230 charges with the Halifax. They've written back offering £100 refund but, as they obviously admit some form of liabillity, he's going to push for the full £230.

    I think you'll find his offer of £100 will clearly state no liability.

    He should write back accepting the £100 as partial payment and inform that he will continue to seek the rest of the money out.

    The banks will fob you off with reduced offers, trying to cut their losses, but theyu are liable for the full whack and so everyone should go for the full whack.

    They should, however, accept it as partial payment, and make Halifax pay it into their account as an interim payment.

    sorry to drag this thread up but after my mum came home crying a few weeks ago because of all the snowballing charges she'd received i remembered this thread and printed out those template letters from that Consumer Action Group forum. we sent them off and today she received a letter saying that she will recieve a refund for the all of the £320 worth of charges

    so thanks! :D:D

    Just an update on my mate too. He got all his charges back from the Halifax, so he did it with Barclays too, got all his charges back there AND a £60 'apology' :D

    I got charged once, but it was about 8 years ago.

    I am being charged £10 for going £2 over due to not having enough money to pay for it.
