Does this set the precedent we have all feared???

Second Request - Sorry. BUT is there anyone that can help me? We had an Access Credit Card issued by Natwest Bank up until approx 1995 when we finally paid off the balance and cut the blimmin' thing up!! We held the card for about 3 years and ran up loads of penalty charges for late payment etc. The thing is we don't even know the account number despite the fact that we kept the final statement showing a NIL balance for some years - we can't find it now! Should I send a full S.A.R. with £10 cheque and if the answer is Yes then where to please?

Hi Mrs W. Just to let you know I successfully claimed over £1700 just before Xmas last year (thru this wonderful site). Since then I have successfully been refunded 2 more amounts @ £28 each for "service charges" - (yeah right!) Each time I wrote to my local branch manager and stated that as a previously successful claimant I wouldn't hesitate to take action again right upto Court proceedings if necessary. Each time the amount was credited back to my account! Fight the good fight and remember the money is yours NOT theirs they are taking it unlawfully. Good luck By the way does anyone know if there is a current thread on here dealing with old credit cards? We had an Access Credit Card with Natwest which we paid off in approx 1995 before that we had excessive charges for late payment and I would like to start a claim to try to get some back. Any help anyone could give me would be very much appreciated. O-B

Better late than never I suppose. We had an Access Credit Card which is now defunct. Can anyone tell me how I go about obtaining details/address so I can kick-off a claim for unlawful charges (loads!) against this card please? I might add that we were successful in claiming back over £1700 in unlawful bank charges going back the six year statutory limit from NatWest at the back end of last year. through this brilliant site.

Forgot to say that the only statement we kept was the one with a nil balance! But then probably shredded it after a couple of years.

We successfully claimed (through this brilliant site) unlawful charges back from NatWest going back the 6 years. Does anyone know how we can begin a claim against the old Access Credit Card? They took shed loads off us but we paid them off in approx 1995 and never had a credit card since.

This site is mentioned in the article in The Daily Mail today.

They never learn!! Latest statement debits another £28 "charges" - yes I went overdrawn - by £3.15. Will wizz off another 'refund or else letter' await the credit and then CLOSE THIS BLOODY ACCOUNT. Oh how I hate NATWEST.

LCB/MJM and PZC/RR Glad to help.

REFUNDED - £28 S/C Having heard nothing from NatWest regarding the refund as above to date - lo and behold a statement received today with a CREDIT of £28. No ifs or buts or letters from them rejecting my request because they feel their charges are fair etc blah blah. Listed as Refund of S/C (service charge) Hurrah 3 cheers for this wonderful site, which, incidentally, I promoted whilst in live chat on a Bingo Online site the other evening.

It seems a lot doesn't it? My Court costs were £220, but don't worry as you will get it all back. Ollie-Bollie

CONGRATULATIONS & WELL DONE!! Ollie-Bollie ;-)

It's certainly going to be a better Christmas this year! Yes as soon as the chq cleared we despatched Cobbett's copy of NoD and also the Courts - don't expect to have an acknowledgment but you never know. ;-) If I don't get the £28 credited back I will start the process all over again They will never win............

Thank you Claudiaamber. Since the cheque cleared there has been no sign of NatWest clawing any money back thank goodness. By the way I wrote yesterday to ask that a further charge of £28 (added in July) be credited back to our account after our recent successful claim against them for the return of unlawful charges. Am awaiting their comments.
