Folks,
Notwithstanding what Mr. Burgess has said above, I would suggest that you send in a complaint to your Bank indicating that you incurred costs (be they the cost of a financial advisor or other legitimate costs) because of the Bank's actions at the time and you were never reimbursed for these costs. Document these costs as best you can, and indicate to the Bank that you want it to reimburse you for these costs, along with the unnecessary time and duress caused.
You have nothing to lose and if you are genuinely out of pocket, the Bank may be in a bit more of a giving mood than it was in times past.
The fact that you have let this go for a number of years does not strengthen your case, but again as I say, you may just find the Bank in a bit more of a giving mood at the moment (because they last thing they want is further complaints going into the Ombudsman about how they handled mortgages right now etc.).
