Amethyst,

I know this could/is a silly question as it may be to soon but what do you think/predict will happen with the whole bank charges issue ( predictions would be greatly accepted if you simply dont know) i would just like to have some idea.

thanks.

Seriously I wouldn't dare make any prediction whatsoever as things stand. Too much is at stake for too many people so we can only go with the facts and prepare for all the options to make sure the people who are most in need of help get it quickly and effectively and that everyone is kept updated and knows what to do as quickly and accurately as possible.

Not as far as we are aware, its possible. Trying to find out whats occurring anyway. If they are then we will be going through them before publishing them on here. We also do not recommend anyone acts prior to the OFT announcement unless it is imperative to do so (ie strike out claim against you etc) and will be recommending no new claims are commenced and that people with stays, err stay stayed, until that point at least.

Team's £3 debt nets £800 charges


A Derbyshire junior football team was landed with £800 worth of bank charges for going £2.57 overdrawn, a BBC Watchdog investigation has revealed. The Riverside under 15s HSBC bank account went overdrawn after a £3 cheque was cashed.
Several charges were then applied to the Long Eaton team's account which brought the deficit to £813.29.
HSBC said it had written off the debt after looking into the case and will apologise to the team.

Does that not prove they are penalties? ;-)

If bank penalty charges (oops, sorry, service charges - my bad!) are so reasonable, why do they need to hide behind Commercial Confidentiality & FOI?

FOI would not cover banks anyway since it applies to public bodies.
