Bbc Watchdog???

[Drivewasher]

Hi all,

Just been watching a recording of watchdog. Apparently it only took 500 emails to them to get the programme on estate agents-whisleblower.

So I was just wondering we could get a feature /publicity on the prog maybe if as many members as poss emailed in, re their respective banks and them refusing to give back illegal charges despite them being illegall Etc; Etc;

A basic template could be laid out and posted in the library, then members who wanted could insert their particular plight and email it in, of course inserting a link to this site so we can get some proper factual info on tv instead of the half hearted which report trying to say only some of the charges are illegal.

Just my mind exercising itself, what do you think 11,500 members = a lot of emails

A very good idea - but I think that if they received template emails it would undermine any effort to get them to focus on bank charges.

the emails would have to be send independently.

However - if you refer to the thread in this section on Which? and the forthcoming OFT statement, I think that they would not put on any programme which would undermine the Which? campaign or the OFT announcement - or the new Banking Code which amazingly is coming out in the next few days.

Strange coincidence, don't you think?

Surely, you are not insinuating that there is something fishy going on?
