Personally I want everything back! I don't want a situation whereby someone says that is fair as an amount. I think we all want that. What 'grinds' with me is that these financial institutions have had the power to ride roughshod over just about everyone using legal force which none of us could possibly contemplate not afford. My point earlier was that if the Treasury are now going to consider their own pressure then why did they not do it initially?

The end result if we look at it is that UK banks have (banking) licenses and basically control the countries economy. In so doing these 'non elected' (by us) controllers can manipulate how our lives are run. They can as they have caused many people to become bankrupt, faced gardship and acted quite 'aloof' to it all. If an average person in the street wants to contact someone who made these high level decisions they cannot! Even now the baks act behind lagalities and the directors ignore the relities of people suffering. I once had a share portfolio and that made me eligible to speak to a director if I wished - Shall I say it should have been eay to do but it never happened. The same at AGM's where the major shareholders are seldom average people but other multi nationals in various shapes and forms that override any viable grievance you might have. The only person ever to sway a company was the gentleman with HSBC who was a cleaner and got cult status in arguing about pay a few years ago!

Have just sent this to the BBC's DemocracyLive website, perhaps others could join in?:

 

To:democracylive@bbc.co.uk

 

Is Democracy Live going to cover the historic Supreme Court decision on Bank Charges on Wednesday 25th November at 9.45 a.m.?

 

House Of Lords Court Decisions have been shown live in the past (e.g. Pinochet decision). This decision will be big news in any event, but the massive public interest will ensure massive viewing figures, especially if trailed.

 

Bearing in mind the processes of the independent judiciary are a crucial part of the UK concept of Democracy, I would have thought that the key Supreme Court decisions should be covered (especially live) by Democracy Live.

 

Bearing in mind the considerable change involved in the move from House of Lords to Supreme court it would be good to cover the event anyway so as to show the public how the new system works.

 

A decision which will have a direct impact on the bank balances of millions and on an issue which has involved one of the most important and influential consumer pressure groups of modern times would be, I think, prime reasons for covering the whole judgement live and show off Democracy Live as being able to do this.

 

At 9.45 a.m. there's not much else democracy going on anyway?

 

I am assuming the judgement won't just be handed down and will be read out, by the way. I understand many representatives of the consumer pressure groups are travelling down to London to be present.

'I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.'

It shows graphically how the present shower have learnt now't

 

I assume everyone knows that the Fed is a private company owned by amongst others Rothschilds Bankers

"Some people think that the Federal Reserve Banks are United States Government institutions. They are private monopolies which prey upon the people of these United States for the benefit of themselves and their foreign customers; foreign and domestic speculators and swindlers; and rich and predatory money lenders."

Misread that 1st take... I wondered why everyone was eating cough sweets

 

 

So, worst case scenario, and the banks somehow manage to swindle it so that their contracts are not assessable for fairness... What kind of changes we can expect in our T & C? and who will the 1st bank to charge £50 + for a returned DD be?

[barry_2008]

"Res ipsa loquitur". If the banks are found guilty dose this mean they in fact have breached trust in the contract?

[fergal71]

the tension is almost unbearable..... I cant wait till tomorrow I bet this thread gets a thousand posts alone..... is anyone taking bets on the decision?

 

believe it or not I am taking day off tomorrow to take in all the info which will be fired out tomorrow.....

[barry_2008]

Tomorrow is a landmark day in history of banking.

 

Already we have the Daily Express reporting banks may charge unfair fees on withdrawing our own money from cash machines and they could be forced to pay up to 22 billion back. (wish it was gazillion the thieving trolls)

[mailmannz]

Well Im not holding my breath.

 

Having said that I did notice HSBC has refunded £50 bank charges taken from my account last month without explanation????

 

Maybe they already know the writing is on the wall?

 

Then again, maybe the law lords will just go with the banks (depending how how much their buyout cost?
