In February 2006 I was succesful in recovering all my bank charges amounting to over 2000 pounds from Nationwide.

The settlement was made out of court a few days prior to my small claims hearing at Hull County Court.

In preparing for the case I obtained supporting evidence and documents that may be of assistance to others naking a similar claim

To this end I am happy to assist anyone wishing to claim against Nationwide and provide the documentation I used to win a settlement.

If you would like these or any info regarding my claim please PM me with your postal address.

Nationwide do not charge a penny for copies of old statements. Ring the number on the back of your bank card and the helpful staff will post them to you for free.

Hi All,

I was set to meet Nationwide in Court on 14th February to reclaim 2014.05 in illegal charges.

They finally contacted me today to settle in full.

The letter reads

“Dear Mr Clay

Re: Clay –v- Nationwide Building Society

Claim No. 5KH07357

Further to my letter of 31 January, I have now received further instructions in respect of your claim.

The cost to Nationwide of arranging representation at the hearing on 14 February makes it uneconomic for us to continue to defend your claim. For this, and no other, reason I am instructed to settle your claim, in full.

I enclose a cheque in the sum of £2,014.05 which is made up, as follows :-

Total claim as per claim form 1,877.78

Allocation Fee 100.00

Interest from 1 November 2005 to 14 February 2006 36.28

2,014.05

Please ensure that you notify the court that your claim has been settled, immediately.

Yours sincerely

Charles Bacon

Considering the fact they were using an internal Nationwide solicitor rather than an independent I think this is a seriously thin argument!

This is my second victory. The first was for a similar amount against another high street bank. However they insisted on a confidentiality agreement and as I was desperate for the money I agreed!

I would like to thank Bob Egerton for his amazing support and assistance. Bob, you are a real gentleman and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I am happy for this information to be disseminated freely and wish all other claimants a successful settlement.

All the best

Gary Clay
