Dear sir/ madam
I am writing in reference to an account I hold at your Stockton on Tees branch, which is currently £187.37 overdrawn. This balance is due to bank charges I have incurred through failed direct debits.
I am currently on sick leave from my job, and have been since mid January. Subsequently, my income has been significantly affected, and these charges have made this problem a lot worse.
I have requested an overdraft numerous times, for when I have been in previous situations where I have been unable to pay direct debits etc and each time this has been refused, thus im getting charged frequently for unauthorised overdrawing due to circumstances beyond my control.
I have been paying my wages into your bank for some time now. However, I hope that this matter can be resolved or I will be taking my banking services elsewhere as this is causing me unnecessary distress. I am unsure when my income will return to its previous status, as I am still medically unfit for work.
I trust I will hear from you soon with regards to the matter.
Sincerely,
Sarah Bake
just foned em then and they sed "theyre onto the matter" fuckin wankers.......... cant pay my debts now........can see this beein a fun week

Can you cancel all DD's off your account to stop you getting more charges?

Oh dear 
At lease you are in contact with them, hopefully they will come to a mutual agreement and not keep applying all these charges. I've got a 2k interest free overdraft, left over form student days

No if we managed our money better we wouldnt get into problems in the first place. Too many people take on loans that are beyond their means. Why you think bank of england interest rates have gone up? because we are all borrowing too much money, so many people ££££`s in debt.

I dont think they will be bothered that you are off sick tbh, if you have been refused an o/d then they r gonna keep charging u for failed d/d's

This is true, they wont care if you threaten to take your banking elsewhere they will want to recover those fees.
