If you need help writing a bank charges so that you can get your unfair bank charges refunded then please let us know.
In July 2007 the banks and the Office of Fair Trading agreed to bank charges reclaiming test case. This pending decision will decide the future off most unfair bank charge claims.
Help writing a bank charges letter can be provided if needed from our "unfair bank charges team'. We are of the understanding that bank charges are unlawful and should not be tolerated by the public. The aim of Money Advice Direct is to help the consumer to get the bank into refunding all unfair bank charges. We therefore encourage the public to go through their bank statements up to 6 years in an effort to stand up to the banks who are responsible.
We recommend a specialist organisation to write to the banks involved asking for a full refund. In most cases the bank will pay out to avoid being publicly humiliated in the courts. The banks can not make unrealistic charges.
No one likes the prospect of being taken to court, especially a bank. That is why if a good attacking letter is made then the banks will pay out.
The banks often send an automated letter in response. The banks will state that charges were not unlawful. The consumer must understand that charges must be in proportion to the time and cost of imposing them. The banks do not need to charge £50 for going £1 over an agreed overdraft limit. The bank is making enough money from normal / agreed banking charges without the need to make stealth fines.
Banks often forget that the public are loyal to their banks. Unfair bank charges will only upset the customer and force them to change their custom to another bank with better bank account rules.
The banks will often write back saying the charges are normal service fees. This is wrong.
People sometimes forget that banks are profit making businesses. They need to make charges to show outstanding profits to their shareholders. If the banks are making unfair bank charges this will upset shares prices and fuel an uprising against clearing banks.
