URGENT! Tell Gordon Brown to Support Reclaiming

Options
Having worked with the other reclaiming groups on this - i wanted to let you know the official petition is now on the No. 10 website. It's going to be going in the e-mail tomorrow - so it'd be great if regulars (who believe in it of course, its not compulsory) would start the ball rolling and sign it early.

To sign the petition go to

http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/BankCharter/

  • I hope as many people sign this petition as downloaded the "Reclaim Bank Charges" templates. Its about time the government sat up, listened and did something about this. Come on everyone, sign the petition. Good luck Martin, without people like you, many folk would be in dire straits.

    Hi feel feel free to publicise the petition any legitimate (and non spamming) way you can.

    If you're a member of other forums. Why not post about it and the link to the Charter it self there and suggest people try (again providing its within the rules).

    Now MSE could issue an ethical challenge to the banks to comply voluntarily with the charter; The first bank to do so could stand to get millions of new customers if MSE recommend that people switch. Once one bank complies - they all will.

    Well done Martin.
