As per the request in another thread...

Hi all,
I have just launched a petition to the Prime Minister asking that:

We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to form a commons review by the Home Secretary on the current abuse of the court system by banks, building societies and other fiduciary services in the UK when dealing with customers on 'unfair bank charges' claims.

which is that:

This petition is asking that the Prime Minister establish a commons review panel to look into the ongoing issue of UK fiduciary services abusing the UK legal system by forcing legal action through courts when they have no intention of completing the legal route from the outset. Currently this is causing courts to become clogged with cases that will never make it to court, and so ask that this is investigated to review whether the government can action changes to stop the legal system being used as a delaying and bullying tactic by large organisations on smaller organisations or individuals.

The petition can be found here:

Petition to: form a commons review by the Home Secretary on the current abuse of the court system by banks, building societies and other fiduciary services in the UK when dealing with customers on 'unfair bank charges' claims.

and I hope as many people as possible will sign it. It is not a standrad, drop bank charges petition, but asking that the government recognise and rectify the court systme being abused as a method of delaying and bullying when the defendent has no intention of going to trial (basically the abuse of the system that we have all recognised)

Thanks

Peter
