I've just found this on the BBC website and thought it might of interest.

A nasty development indeed! Still, I guess what it boils down to is whether the charging is illegal or unfair? And I would probably say its just unfair...

Its always difficult to know exactly why the judge ruled as they did in these cases. Often the information reported is scant and we do not know the whole facts.

I understand that there are many thousands of people who have successfully reclaimed bank charges and I am sure that the banks have fought on most of these.

I do not think this ruling is going to stop unfair bank charges being reclaimed where they truely are unfair

My son successfully claimed back £2700 from the last 6 years with Natwest,it took 10 weeks.
He claimed £3200 and got £2700,so it can be done.
They havnt closed his account and were quite apolagetic.

I successfully claimed back £3k from Abbey for charges over the last 6 yrs and I don't bank with them anymore. Unfortunately this didn't make m rich and 85% of it paid of the remining overdraft I had with them despite the account being closed. I also got £500 back from MBNA so yes it can be done but on most occassions it will have to go through the financial ombudsman who have had a 100% success rate with getting charges back, bank try to fob you off and are reluctant to refund so is worth seeing it through!!!
