So am I. Just grit your teeth and go for it. The template letters make it so much easier.

Great, will look at that - Lloyds just charged £30 for being 47p over my overdraft limit!!

looney def do, is outrageous the amount they charge.

Don't worry, I plan to! Abbey charged me LOADS a couple of years ago and I hate them as a bank for many reasons (incl. they messed up on my account and made it so i couldn't get money out on holiday!!!), I'm just about to close my account but will start by asking for all the info I need to try and claim back.

I'm annoyed with Lloyds as they have been pretty good but £30 for being 47 PENCE overdrawn is crazy!!

you to mine will be going first class tomorrow. Are you sending to your head office or your local branch??

OP posts:
looneytune · 15/07/2007 09:58

Mine going first class too! We can update this thread as and when we hear back I've actually addressed mine to the data protection address for Abbey as I thought that's where we were supposed to? I may have misread so correct me if I'm wrong. I was looking at the link nearest to the top of this thread

as soon you get all the statements, check what are the dates and what was the cost of each charges, print/handwrite it all out onto a paper plus a letter with ya account dats and wait! - Give them 2 weeks and FOLLOW IT thru

good luck
