You may remember some time ago I posted that I was persuing my bank for the charges they had taken from my account.  The banks still assert that they are entitled to do so under the  Terms and Conditions of their accounts; English law says otherwise.

Anyway, my case was due to be heard in court next week.  Two days ago I received a letter from the bank's solicitor.  It stated that they firmly believed my case was without merit and I would lose in court.  However, due to the cost of defending the claim, they were willing to offer me the full amount of my claim!

So, sure they would win, but unwilling to test this assertion by actually going to court!  Still, they have agreed to pay me £1088 in full settlement of the claim.  They demanded full confidentiality - so that I would not be able to tell anyone I'd even received an offer, but I refused to sign that agreement.  I wrote my own acceptance letter stating that I would negotiate confidentiality as a separate matter lol.  They waived that clause and have raised a cheque!

Yeay me!  Yeay Consumer Action Group!

Go get your money back!
