Why bother?

Have you been stung by exorbitant bank charges?

You're not alone - banks rake in an estimated £4.7bn a year from fees such as £39 for a bounced cheque and £28 each day an account is over its authorised limit.

But amid record-busting profits at the high street banks, a fightback has begun.

Consumers are winning back hundreds and sometimes thousands of pounds in illegal charges.

 

All well and good but what of those who have paid their bills and managed their affairs properly to ensure that they do not go outwith the terms of their bank accounts? It seems like that knowledge and effort was not worthwhile. We could simply have not bothered. Can I have compensation for the wasted time and effort due to banks putting illegal restrictions on my account?

I thought not. Chavere ergo sum ;-)
