Reclaiming bank penalty charges the easy way

The law relating to penalties was established through case law, with cases dating back to the nineteenth century and the courts have been consistent in the way that they have ruled on penalty clauses.
The arbitrary nature of the blanket charges used by banks, building societies and cedit card companies means that all customers are charged the same regardless of the sum involved. However, the law says the only charges that are legally applicable are ones covering the "actual losses" sustained by the bank, building society or credit card company in administrative costs and interest.

So how can reclaim4me help?
Although these charges are unenforceable it's not quick or simple to get them back. Clearly the banks, building societies and credit card companies do not want to pay out and will employ a number of tactics to try and put you off, in the hope that you'll give up… and many people who try to manage their own claim do just that.
Reclaim4me will not give up!

Where the account holder has been typically charged £30 for an unpaid direct debit and the actual transaction may have cost only a few pence to administer, it is easy to understand why the banking sector has seen record profits again in recent months.
What's more, as these penalty charges are unenforceable under current legislation you are entitled to get these charges back for the last six years (five years in Scotland).
