Did anyone watch GMTV this morning?
A woman from liverpool who took on her bank over £3700 bank charges.
She had been working but had to go off sick, she built up the above overdraft through bank charges, she even went into the bank hoping to get a sympathetic ear, instead they said basically she had to pay back.
She heard about the website that was set up, took their advice on getting her money back, sent her bank a letter threatening small claims court proceedings.
The bank sent her an offer of £575 off the total debt, she declined.
Then she got another letter offering over £1000 off the debt, again she refused.
During this period the wheels were in motion for the small claims court.
Eventually, within 2 days of receiving a date for the hearing she received a cheque for the full amount.
The guy on GMTV said that you have to stick to your guns, that the banks do not want this to get to court so they are paying out to save going to court.
