New Govan legal challenge on Unfair bank charges


By administrator - Posted on 09 March 2010

“Scotland The Brave” should be our rallying cry because The Govan Law centre in Scotland has been able to mount a claim against The Bank of Scotland for unfair and excessive bank charges.

The above case is brilliant news for thousands of people. Let us recap on what has happened so far…………..
* We don’t know exactly but maybe a million people have claims outstanding for the return of their unauthorised overdraft charges.
* Last November the Supreme court ruled in favour of the banks effectively rejecting most of these claims with only a relative few hardship cases succeeding.
*Claims that were on hold in the court system will probably be filed away as “No action” too.

So what has happened that might change everything?
Although the Bank of Scotland’s legal team opposed the challenge The Sheriff has allowed a claimant to amend her previous claim in the light of The Supreme court’s judgement.
The heart of the argument is that it was unfair to have been charged £750 overdraft charges because the charges had been used not only to settle the claimant’s account but to subsidise the cost of the bank’s free current account service to those customers who stayed in credit. Can we succeed? Yes we can! Claim now.
