Bank charges on benefits?

Right pain in the arse arn't they? but if you are claiming benefits, your bank cannot take bank charges off of you if you need your money to subsist.


First you need to reason with them, if this fails hit them with a "Letter of appropriation" and a means budget. that's it, they can't take it off you for the period laid out.

This also works on low - middle income, if you can prove you need your money to subsist, including for mortgages and rent.
