Not always possible. I went overdrawn once (without an overdraft) not so long back and got charged £20 for going overdrawn, plus £30 as it was a DD that took me overdrawn (it was only by about £8).

On top of that, my bank has been charging me at least £20 a month for going overdrawn because their £20 charge made me overdrawn each month

So I got stuck in a nastly loop, as paying my bills didn't leave enough in my account to pay their charge, but they took it anyway.

Also, the other month, I phoned ntl up and paid my bill with my debit card, and it got approved, as I had enough money in my account. Then, a couple of weeks later, I got a letter from ntl saying that my bank had not paid it. The reason was... My bank had took their charges out AFTER my payment to ntl was approved.

I'm only just about getting sorted from that.

I've tried 3 polite letters to FD with no joy...

They just quote standard T&C back & refer you to the FSO.

Time for the legal action route I think....

There's lots of examples of successful cases against FD on the Consumer Action Group site - Lots of cases in it's own forum here

Update on my claim - sent of my first letter, asking nicely with no quoting and acts etc... Got it all back in full! Yay!
I was only claiming 560 quid, so I'm not sure whether that was too small a claim to bother them too much - is your claim larger?
