Are the laws changing?

[andyglover]

Hi,

 

I'm starting out on the road to claiming my bank charges back. NOt thousands of pounds worth, but enough to make it worth my while doing it. I jsut wished they hadn't had taken them in the first place...

 

Anyway, I have written to Nationwide and they will be sending me my statements soon. The letter of receipt from Nationwide was dated 28-12.

 

Anyway, someone mentioned, or maybeI heard, that the laws are changing and come March, we wont be bale to claim back bank charges.

 

Is this true?

 

I cant find any other thread about it anywhere...any advice will me much appreciated.

 

Thanks

 

Andy

Er don't think so! I think that a report from The Office of Fair Trading may be due then.

It will be along the same lines as the Report about Credit Card's.

There may be a recommended maximum Cost...i.e. £12 per transgression.

However...

That £12 can still be challenged, as the Banks have yet to produce their ACTUAL costs and as such, even £12 can be viewed as an excessive unlawful Charge, until such time as they do!

Long and short answer is: No, it's not true. Claim away. ;-)
