There are now many companies and websites offering Bank Charge Reclaim services but they will take a % of your claim in commission – so why not do it yourself?
On 5 April 2006, the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) concluded that default charges over £12 are automatically presumed to be unfair in terms of the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contract Regulations. Unfair terms are legally unenforceable.
Charges below £12 may also be unlawful - the distinction is that the OFT will only take enforcement action for charges above that figure.
Banks told the Treasury Select Committee last year that they had to pay for pursuing and collecting debts, speaking to customers and chasing payments. The fees charged to customers were decided by totaling all of these costs and then making assumptions about the number of customers that are going to incur charges during a specified time period.
Therefore, customers can argue that the charges applied to their accounts do not reflect the actual cost of running the account, but are a method of recovering global losses on personal banking. Banks can only impose charges, which are in proportion to their costs.
If the banks costs are not proportionate then it's unlawful, and therefore you have the right to ask the bank for your money back.
