Given the announcemnet today that OFT are fromally loking into bank charges, but will not report until Dec should we be supporting thier investigations by utilising their invitation to send in dat etc? Would data sent be better coming from individuals or collectively from group such as CAG?

 

EXTRACT OF RELEVANT SECTION

 

Contacting the OFT

Given the limit to the resources and time available to the OFT, the OFT will not be directly contacting all potentially interested parties. The OFT will focus on contacting specific bodies and businesses to obtain the necessary evidence to assess the issues outlined above.

However, the OFT welcomes relevant written submissions on this topic and it would assist the case team if submissions were laid out as follows:

• a summary of the main points you would like the OFT to consider

• a more detailed explanation of these points

• evidence to support the views being made:

o if this includes data or financial figures, precise definitions, the dates and source of the data should be provided. All data or financial figures should be provided in electronic format

o if this includes detailed calculations, an annexe or spreadsheet which allows the OFT to replicate these calculations should be provided

o if this includes specific examples of events, a chronology and background to the events should be provided

o if this includes comparators, the reasons why you consider the comparator to be appropriate should be provided

• if you are willing to answer questions further to your submission, a named point of contact whom the case team can contact and contact details including telephone number

I'm moving this post to the Campaign forum which I think may be more appropriate. Hope that's OK with you.
