Hi everyone, I just came about this site from a link from a money saving site and i can't believe that it is actually possible to recover costs from six years.
Last year i was in financial difficulty due to being injured whilst an armed robbery took place at my worksplace i was off work for 8 months and on SSP. As a result direct debits bounced like mad. because of this they debited money from my account which then made me overdrawn, hammering me for unauthourised overdraft fees and interest. (which there own charges brought about) Its supposed to be impossible to go overdrawn with the flexaccount i have.
Thing is after much struggle i paid it all back to the sum of about 850 pounds. Now my firm has switched from weekly pay to monthly so i got stung on another round of a months direct debits after they refused to give me a temporary 1 month overdraft. So again this time im already 190 pounds down and its rising.
Im going to ring them right now to see if i can get these new charges waived the full 190 pounds worth to show i am willing to settle out of court. But im also going to ask them for the full six years records. because if this is doable i stand to recoup at least 1000 pounds.
The letter is prepared but i think ill give em a bell now to get the ball rolling.
