Default Open Letter re. disproportionate fees

Is there any way in which the CAG can publish an open letter in, say, The Times to Angela Knight of the BBA, the OFT, the Financial Services Authority, the FOS, the Government et al. regarding the unfairness of the default charges levied in British Banks in comparison to the charges levied by the self-same banks in the Republic of Ireland?I feel that the more this type of information is made public, the more that the banks will have to justify their fees and the nearer we will get to a fair resolution of this situation.

Has anyone noticed this? Surely it is time to keep the pressure on, the facts are so against the banks it is laughable.

Bump...

The facts are on our side we should to everything possible to expose the lies the BBA spreads for what they are. I know not everyone can get overdrafts loans etc so why doesn't the industry body? Hmm? Oh wait the lies...

bump & v v good idea, I'm sure the papers, especialy the one that claim to have 'exclusively' brought disproportionate charge to the attention of everyone(thats all of them). However indebt student, reading other threads like the list of mp's List of all MP's written & emailed.
thread, i think (and hope) that the mod of this site and mse are in the throws of something else as they all seem to have gone quiet on things. Never mind, how about knocking one up yourself and posting it on here to see what come of it. I'm right behind you anyway.
