Is it very different to the English system?

I haven't - but I think the main difference is that if the bank chooses not to make an offer and you have to take it to small claims, the Scottish limit on small claims is much lower than the English one - under £1,000.

HI

I have claimed mine back!!!!!

Requested £1812 from Royal bank of Scotland and got back £1512

Ah, this is interesting, I must mention this to my DH. We are currently pursuing the Abbey (we are in Scotland) and DH picked up Small Claims forms the other day but I am sure our claim will be for over £1,000. This is really interesting.

Hi, I lodged a claim against HBOS.
It was for nearly 3 grand.
Just lodge an ordinary claim instead of a small claim.
The major difference is that you can only claim back 5 years in Scotland as opposed to 6 years in England.
HTH.

Remind me again of what I can claim for - HBOS took lots of my money for going 20p overdrawn and the like.

Basically anything they have charged you for anything!

Returned direct debits
Being overdrawn
Account maintenance charge

Anything they have taken from your account.
