Have you been unfairly treated by your bank?

Unfair bank and credit card charges

Banks are notorious for charging their customers late fee’s, penalty charges and overdraft fee’s. A few years ago customers who were charged penalty fees upon penalty fees and £30 overdraft charges for going one penny into an unarranged overdraft were able to claim back these unfair charges, now though this is a lot more difficult.

The average customer could claim back around £1000 in unfair charges but this was largely dependant upon the account, how long you have had it for and the level of fees that you have been charged.

Credit card and bank charges vary slightly in that a bank account would only take extra fees from a customer for an un-arranged overdraft etc, where as credit card charges are levied against customers who miss payments, go over their limit etc each month and can mount up.

Scottish PPI Claims

If you are a Scottish resident and believe you have PPI attached to a loan, mortgage, store or credit card you could have been mis-sold the policy and so could claim back on average £3000 from your bank or lender. Claiming back mis-sold PPI is easy, simply give a Scottish PPI claims company a call and get the advice and help you need in order to pursue your claim.

Unfair charges have taken a bit of a hit in recent years, you are unable to make claims unless you can show you are in financial difficulty or can prove a special case.  In the past it was possible to claim back unfair bank or credit card charges from your Scottish bank freely but now the times have changed you really need to be in financial difficulty, for example be on a debt management plan or IVA.

Are you in financial difficulties?

Being in financial difficulty is a very hard place to be, getting out of it can be even harder unless you take the right steps to get yourself out of the hole.

Financial difficulties can be assumed if you have more expenditure each month thatn you bring in (income). If this is the case then you will soon find yourself struggling to meet your creditors repayments. Living on your credit card balance each month? This is often the start of financial hardship, Scottish people are finding it harder than ever to keep on top of their finances, with inflation rising and salaries not matching it is becomming increasingly difficult to keep track of all of your finances.
