Bank Charges Claims may yet see payouts following a victory by
Govan Law Centre which won the right to challenge charges under a
different piece of legislation - the Consumer Credit Act.
"Over the last few weeks, UK banks have been telling one million
customers that there were now no grounds to reclaim bank charges,
standing November's Supreme Court's decision," said Mike Dailly of
Govan Law Centre.
"The Bank of Scotland now faces a fresh challenge that charges
were excessive and unfair under the Consumer Credit Act.
"That is a potentially devastating case for them to answer,
because under this new law, the onus of proof is on the bank to
show that charges were fair," he added.
For many it seems like this has been going on for years and some
are skeptical that the Courts will ever find for the consumer as
after all the courts have had the opportunity and the conclusion in
the Surpeme Court was disappointing.
Consumers are advised to claim back all unfair charges in the
meantime. Claim Back Charges Now
