When, Oh When? Is somebody going to bring the OFT into the real world ? :mad:

 

The banks will do nothing that benefits the customer without regulation and legislation ... not airy -fairy 'guidelines' from a body which has shown it's ineptitude over the last two years ......

The FSA said it could not give any details of the banks' emerging proposals for reasons of "commercial confidentiality".

:-o

 

The account has a monthly price of £15 and because the overdraft limit cannot be exceeded, it carries no unauthorised overdraft charges and no returned item fees.

 

So how would a direct debit or standing order be denied - with no costs involved - all of a sudden:shock:

 

Sorry for hijacking your thread Bankfodder, blood boiling :mad:

AA99, it is possible that all banks will run their accounts along those lines in the not too distant future.

 

It goes to credibility. You cannot state year after year that your charges are fair and reasonable [especially when you repeat it in Court] and then turn round and say that they contribute around 30% to your profits. The banks might have won their case in the Supreme Court, but I should hope that it will be a Pyrrhic victory. How can they go into Court in future and be treated as credible ?

Hi, let me have a stab

 

Lloyds

They told customers that the charges in fact bear a close relationship to the cost the Bank incurs in providing the requested service. so it costs the bank £35 etc.. to operate this service, presumably with very little profit then.

They told the SC that it exceeds the cost to the bank by a very large margin ( so not close to the cost of the service) because it pays for the cost of running all the other current accounts.

 

Yorkshire

Counterclaim says that the sum of £2,900 + was an exact loss that the bank had occured from this customer going overdrawn. yet they tell the SC that it is to fund all the current accounts, so the actual loss to the bank could not have been £2,900 + from one single customer.

 

Abbey

Also say that it is the cost incurred for a breach of contract. The penalty for a breach of contract is the actual loss incurred by the lender. But then Abbey go on to say to the SC that the charges are for the administration of ALL accounts ( with a very large margin), therefore, the charges for breach are not a true estimate of their losses.

Before I go any further, am I getting the right answers?

As a thought, doesn't all of the banks stating exactly the same veriabge means they are conspiring against another group - namely customers.

 

That would probably make them by definition a cartel which I think has been outlawed for a considerable time.

 

This would even make the nice Dutch minister who got Microsoft to admit it was abusing it's power to let the folks here and in EU realise there was a choice (in web browsers) and Intel/Dell prohibiting 'Free and Fair Competition'.

 

But the question arises, how much interest can we charge for the £36,000 we all er,:rolleyes: 'lent' the banks recently? Now we'd have to take into account the loss of our individual revenue stream...

 

How much should we charge for the letter - £80,000 sound proportional?

:lol:

 

Find something to enjoy every day.

7 mistakes in colour below

Our charges are fair and reasonable. They also have said "Though this charge does not have to be reasonable, ...it does in fact bear a close relationship to the cost the Bank incurs in providing the requested service. Obviously that cost goes beyond the price of paper and postage, and includes for example a proportion of the cost of all the systems that are involved once an over-limit situation arises."

The Charges were a genuine pre-estimate of damage. They also said that the charges are "fair having regard to the following matters: (a) the cost to the Bank of maintaining administrative systems relating to unauthorised overdrafts, unpaid cheques and direct debits and abuse of cheque and debit cards for the purpose of keeping the level of overdrawing under review and controlled as far as possible; They have also counterclaimed for £2941.00 charges:- "The costs and expenses incurred by the Defendant and Part 20 Claimant resulting from the Customers' failure to keep within the agreed overdraft limit on the account amount to £2941.00. ... the Bank has suffered loss and damage in the amount of £2941.00.

your charges are based on the extra administrative work incurred by Abbey when, for example, an account has insufficient funds to meet a requested payment. Abbey believes that it is reasonable to make a charge on such an occasion to pass on the costs incurred by the bank and that the charges applied to the account are fair and transparent. They have also said "Abbey must remedy the issues with the account and this incurs expense" Abbey has also said "(... [it] is not accepted) that the charges are greater than Abbey's actual loss in dealing with your account They have also said "The fees reflect and are proportionate to the Defendant's administrative expenses incurred due to the Claimant's breach of contract and are a genuine pre-estimate of the damage suffered by the Defendant.
