IS it really too late to revive an historic claim for bank charges. In January, using MSE template letters I tried to revive a claim for bank charges from 2000 - 2006. Although I know it was a while a go I felt it was worth a try as it totals around £25,800 and I have evidence that I tried years earlier to receive a refund. My husband tried to end his life in 2007 as a direct result of the pressure being placed on him by the banks and it has taken me some time to build the confidence to stand up against them without fearing the repercussions. However I havent heard anything from Lloyds not even confirmation of receipt. Then in MSE forum I was told the boat has sailed. Do I have any options now? Informed advice appreciated

Re: bank charges
Depends whether you argue historic financial hardship and that the bank were informed and did not do enough to help at that time. [MENTION=6]Amethyst[/MENTION] [MENTION=332]EXC[/MENTION] to comment as wellOriginally posted by kazman64 View Post

Re: bank charges
I listed the amounts, the effect it had then and now and that I asked at the time for a refund because of the effect they were having on our business and family finances. I have evidence from both suffolk business link and a company called ibas who also requested on our behalf. What do i need to do now if they havent repliedComment

Re: bank charges
What was the banks response? Did you ask for help during the period in which this happened and what did the bank say at the time?Originally posted by kazman64 View Post
I just want to add one last thing: financial hardship and bank charges does not necessarily mean that the bank will refund charges but they can either waive charges or even temporarily extend an overdraft if it is clear that income coming in and priority debts ie mortgage,rent, utilities, council tax cannot be paid without doing so or that bank charges are preventing this."Family means that no one gets forgotten or left behind"

Re: bank charges
What was the insurance? Was that a PPI policy ? and again was that personal or business?
£4200 was on your personal accounts - you've added the £1913 interest (8% stat?)
Do you know if these charges were unauthorised overdraft, bounced direct debit etc?
The business account charges - were they transaction fees or also unauthorised OD etc?#staysafestayhome
