It is intended - even if they know they're not going to win it'll weed out some of the claims as some customers will threaten court but not go through. Instant savings for the beancounters!

Sending the letter templates doesnt affect what happens in court the court preparation does and to be fair I havent seen much advice on court preparation because all the sites like CAG are so confident that you wont end up in court so they not bothering.
It does matter - if you're not reasonable and fair in your dealings with them it'll not go in your favor when you get to court.

I have been charged £25 everytime i use my card beyond my overdraft,
This is what some banks apply under the guise of a "card misuse fee" when you use your card to either spend money via switch or guarantee cheques when you don't have the money.

Not all card transactions that will take you overdrawn are declined.
