*applause*
As one of the readers of your original forum I can say two things about it...

1) It wasn't very clear in its advice, it tended to ramble. A lot. But that was down the way the forum was laid out and the poor writing skills of the contributers to the forum itself.

2) Once you boiled the information down it was incredibly useful and very, very powerful, and should be made known to ALL.

Although I am yet to force my bank into coughing up for the ridiculous charges they've heaped on me over the years, the ever-increasing credit card that no matter how much I pay just gets bigger and the mis-sold (by mysterious third parties) payment insurance schemes, I am most definately on their case...

...the problem now seems to be that various legal bodies have allowed the banks to suspend paying out on claims against them whilst there are endless, ongoing, repeative investigations & appeals...

Do you know the current state of play, perchance? Is now the time to strike?

PS - If you ever want to get back into the struggle, drop me a PM and we can talk about forum/site design & management....

Bloody well done.

Re, the layout
it's a tricky thing to do.

It was laid out completely differently to start with, and people complained about that, so it was changed, then people complained, it was changed again, and again etc....

I set up the wiki to try and organise the information in a nice, familiar way, but it doesn't get used all that much, sadly.

Get all claims
in now.

The statute of limitation will prevent you from going back 6 years; meaning if the banks drag this out for that long - you get zip.

If you make it known now that you want the money back, the 6 years starts from 6 years ago, and then you have another 6 years going forward.

I realise that makes little sense, but I'm in a hurry to get out of the door.
