| | Site Team The Consumer Action Group |  Financial Ombudsman - a recommendation
The Financial Ombudsman is apparently so concerned about the level of complaints re bank charges and also the lack of public confidence in his office that maybe it is about time that he was made aware of the true scale of the problem.
I would recommend that everyone writes their own letter to the Financial Ombudsman to inform him - that they are bringing a bank charges claim against their bank
- that they are not going through the Office of the Financial Ombudsman as they have no confidence in him.
- that although he is concerned because he is receiving 150 complaints per week, The Consumer Action Group is receiving 4,000 complaints per week. In which of our two organisations does he believe the greater public confidence reposes?
This will only need a short note. It doesn't need to be expressed well or cleverly. Just send the note.
I think that it will help to make a difference
