PETITION THE PRIME MINISTER

We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Force the banks to repay unlawful bank charges and remove the six year time bar, forcing them to pay back everything from at least 1980.

Thousands of people in this country are in debt through no fault of their own. The fatcat bank bosses have ripped us off for too long, prove you do care Mr Blair and make them pay it back.

SIGN THE PETITION HERE

Then why can't we claim back whats owed to us from the 1980's?
Blatant lying by a bank cost us and our parents £50,000+
Caused my mothers death and I want to get even!!

What law says you can't claim back from the 1980s (other than the normal statute of limitation which is challengeable under the "you knew it was unlawful, it has only just come to my attention that it is" rule)

sorry seem to have hijacked the thread a bit, but at least it is keeping the "vote now" message in the new posts leader board

Just getting back on thread a mo, it's interesting that Stephen Hone has today anounced an e-petition on Tony Blairs 10 Downing Street site.

Although I've signed it myself, I agree with BankFodder that petitions have little impact, especialy on a government that has such a close relationship with the banking industry. Besides, Dear Tony can barely use a computer..

We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Make Banks Automatically Pay Back Bank Charges, without the customer having to rake through old statements!

Make it so that the banks have to re-pay unlawful bank charges automatically, from the date the account was opened, so that the customer doesn't have to trawl through all the old bank statements and write numerous letters to them and have to take them to court, after all, they are in the wrong!

I have just signed a petition on the downing street website about bank charges. Not that petitions ever force government policy they do occaisionally get publicity if there are enough signatures. The recent one about road charging comes to mind. Anyway the link is below if you want to sign.
