Default FAO Bank Charge Guru's

Lloyds TSB are trying to charge me £30.00 for going 42p overdrawn, which I promptly paid off as soon as I realised what had happened.

From what I gather the charge is supposed to be proportional to the amount you have gone overdrawn, which this certainly isnt.

I know there are a few websites with draft letters etc on, has anyone got any links to them or some general advice? Do I have a case for the charge to be cleared?

Cheers in advance

For single charges just go into the bank and moan - they will give it you back!!! They can't be arsed and normally put it back in as a 'goodwill' gesture.

ring the bank (just the callcentre will be fine) complain, and they'll refund it.

they normally do this for one offs, no need to bother with letters etc.
