    Got an offer today of £2,716.99 which Ive decided to accept :D

    The actual cost of my charges was only £100 higher than that anyway, the rest was all interest!

    Gonna go knack my credit card companies now!!!! :) at this rate all my debt will be paid off!

    Think you're meant to add around 8% to the sum of your bank charges

    has anyone experienced banks closing the accounts after?

    i am a debt adviser so its i need to monitor stuff like this for personal interest :D

    and has anyone actually been charged for the statements at £5 each - i know its already been pointed out that under the right to information act you just send a tenner off

    Under the DPA the most they can charge you is £10, because you are asking for details of charges, not copies of statements.

    it's the bank's choice to send this information in the form of copy statements.

    I had my account with First Direct shut down after claiming charges back a second time.

    Best thing to do is open a "parachute" account in case of this happening.

    PS this closure is now the subject of a Financial Obudsman Service complaint, as the banking industry has been warned under no circumstances is to carry out retaliatory strikes against customers.

    Every FOS complaint costs the bank a few hundred quid and at the mo' people are complaining in their thousands hahahah
