Its a viscious circle. and once they get you in it theres no way out.

but £1000 in two month, all for the sake of sent 2-3 letter out to us.
Tel - this is against all the rules and regs without a shaddow of doubt. They are only allowed to remove funds that are there at the given date, not put you into an overdraft situation. However, if they remove all your money on the 1st of the month and your mortgage comes out on the 2nd, this is legal.
I may be against the idea of claiming money back in most cases, (note my previous post and Wayne's previous post) there is always the fact that most of the big banks are declaring record profits...
