Bank Charges: Them pesky banks are back in court
24-Jun-09 by Tim Moore
The banks are back in court in the latest round of the bank charges court case. What gets me is that every one knows they're going to evenually lose this case (obviously this is my opinion, but good old common sense has a say in this) and it looks suspiciously like they're simply dragging out the issue.
Now correct me if I'm wrong but don't we, via the government own a substantial portion of these banks. That gives Gordon a big old say in how they act. And aren't a load of us really suffering from the recession. And couldn't we all do with our exorbitant bank charges back?
The point I'm getting to is that the banks seem to be fighting a losing battle, so why doesn't Gordon simply tell our banks to do the honorable thing and throw the towel in and let us get on with claiming back your charges? Just think of the injection of money back into the real ecconomy, the jobs it would create and the boost to consumer confidence!
