Hi thanks for sorting that for me slick They only gave me copy statements - I dont have anything saying advance notification of charges? Is that where the commission would be broken down?

Ive got an old statement which has 2x Account Control Fee of £12. This is shown in the break down of the commision. I thought I would be able to add this to my schedule but then later on they arent broken down. They just say commision? :s Could some kind soul point me in the right direction thanks!!

Lets not forget fuel costs too!! Oil, Gas, Electric. Alastair Darling has already seen fit to request a meeting with OfGEM because of the recent price hikes

He is indeed

That was Martin Lewis that was quoted saying they should drop the waiver or halt fresh charges.

Yes I knew that - what I did mean was what his position within the organisation was (other than a senior official.....) because to me this could possibly be unofficiated comment? There doesnt appear to be a news release anywhere from the OFT

From a news article on bbc BBC NEWS | Business | OFT may compromise on bank fees The Office of Fair Trading (OFT) could drop next year's High Court test case over bank overdraft charges, a senior official has said. No news on who the official is though - seems like a sneaky move by the banks again...........

14 Jan

Other peeps have helped me out loads here so only right I give back - was re-reading the oft FAQs and it appears theyve updated it on friday when viewing the source on the page.

Test case date set for 14-Jan-2008!! They reckon its going to last about 8 days for the hearing

hehe do I have to copy all my bank statement to include in the bundle too?

Well spoke to the court and he wasnt much help tbh. I said well what if I dont submit it and he said oh yes well you better send it in but beware theres a postal strike. So I think I'll fax DG but then send through the post and then drop either the bundle or statement of evidence at the court. Any suggestions whhat to do?

thanks v much I'll keep you posted.

thanks jo much appreciated
