But doesn't that imply that what they told the select committee may have been incorrect? Knowingly telling a select committee an untruth may constitute a contempt of parliament.

It may do but aren't you glad they did?

Hmm...maybe an open letter to Gordon Brown via the press might have the desired effect there. After all, if the press jump on it (and let's be honest they have no love for the banks) then maybe Brown would be forced to ask them why they lied to Parliament ?

Yes Im sure the Sun would love that

Press the 'Thanks' button (the one with a thumbs up icon) just to the bottom right of the message of the person you wish to thank.

To be honest alot of us guys have a lot of trust for the likes of Exe, Budgie Amethyst Nattie etc and if these guys say wait and be patient thats what most of us will do.

We, Beagles and the other smaller sites, are working with MSE, PC and CAG. MSE have funded Mike Dailly (Govan Law and bank charges campaigner amongst other things) and Raymond Cox QC (fountain court Fountain Court - People - Raymond Cox QC ) to write the new POCs (currently with defending strike out action and claims from banks in mind ) We have a draft our own POC to use in the meantime which should be confirmed this afternoon and this will be open for the other free consumer sites to utilise as needed. The consumer groups are also beind a possible class action on behalf of consumers and further news on this will be announced as it develops.

We cannot rush into anything as this is a very technical judgment, the OFT have admitted that the case went wrong and off of the wrong track when 5(1) was taken out, and discussions are continuing with them on the way forward.

The BBA and FSA are keeping an eye on the banks actions and we will continue to pressure the banks to hold fire until the OFT has made a decision on their next steps.

So we're stronger, but the advice is still to hang fire.......

I suspect ultimately that if the OFT does not litigate again then we will have OFT v. Santander et al because consumers will deluge MCOL and the County Court again

Wooohooo another FSA waiver on bank charges

Personally, I think patience is very important at this stage, and while I'm prepared to suggest certain legal avenues that might not have occured to people, I know when not to act.

It's important for people in contact with the big legal guns to be given time to formulate a plan of action.
