I was looking at the BBC news online this lunchtime and at the right hand side of the page they have a section for the most read, and the most emailed stories. Number 5 in the most read was an article of claiming back penalty charges! Then I flicked to most emailed and the top two stories were about penalty charges!

 

BBC NEWS | Business | Are penalty charges bank robbery?

 

BBC NEWS | Business | How to claim back penalty charges

 

The second link above is a how-to including templates!

 

Has anyone else seen this?

That's what I thought, it's apparently taken from another guys website - gives the details at the bottom.

 

If you haven't seen in some of the other posts, there's a prog on bbc 2 at 10pm tonight about penalty charges (called Bank Robbery). Should be interesting.

After the programme has aired, bank charges are the top story both read and emailed on BBC News Online.

Great exposure - and I imagine the biggest breakthrough in public awareness so far.

Actually, I would have thought the TrevorMcDonald programme in June, with its estimated 5-6 million viewers, would have had a far bigger impact. This forum collapsed under the influx, but we still managed to get 855 people on line at the same time at one point, and over the next few days, we were registering people at the rate of about 4 a minute. :-D

 

Maybe if it had been shown at 8 pm, but 10 pm? I find that shocking, tbh. Still, anything that raises awareness is gooooood!!! :-D

yes good point - I forgot about Trevor McDonald, because I normally avoid that programme like the plague. Good on them for airing it though.
