The Argus has helped readers reclaim thousands of pounds in rip-off bank charges.

In March we gave you a step-by-step guide to getting back unfair fees levied by banks for unauthorised borrowing.

So far you have claimed back £8,400 - and that is only the success stories we know about.

Our Beat the Banks campaign followed an annoucement by the Office of Fair Trading that it was investigating high charges levied by banks against unauthorised borrowing and bounced cheques.

By law banks are only allowed to charge you the costs they incurred when you exceed your overdraft limit.

Anything more represents an unfair penalty charge, experts have argued.

Most recently Suzanne Whelan and her partner Anthony Wright, of Shoreham, got back more than £4,000 from the Halifax.

Unemployed artist Marc Harnett, of Brighton, was paid £1,500 by the Royal Bank of Scotland and Dave Harris, of St Michael's Road, Portslade, won back £480.

But we believe our tally of reclaimed charges is just the tip of the iceberg and today we are calling on other readers our campaign has helped to get in touch - and tell us how much they won back.
