We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to follow the Bank Charges Reclaiming Charter, which aims to end both the current suspension of reclaiming & the financial misery caused by unfair penalty charges. More details
Submitted by Martin Lewis of MoneySavingExpert.com – Deadline to sign up by: 13 November 2007 – Signatures: 70,657
More details from petition creator
The FSA has suspended reclaiming awaiting a decision on the OFT’s agreed test case with the banks.
This decision was taken without consultation with the consumer groups who’ve been championing reclaiming. MoneySavingExpert, ConsumerActionGroup & PenaltyCharges are between them helping 1.5m+ people reclaim, & the charter expresses their opinion.
In the UK it’s virtually obligatory to have a bank account, yet there’s no competition over charges, & penalty charges often leave finances irrevocably damaged.
The Charter’s key clauses are
* £5 is a fair max for bank charges
* The stay on reclaiming is anti-consumer & should be stopped
* If not, a stay should also be put on banks levying charges & ensuing credit defaults
* It should be pre-decided that if the case is successful, banks must be made to pay back past charges plus interest automatically; customers shouldn’t need to complain, and all related credit defaults should be wiped.
The full charter is available via the web.
