How can they possibly justify that amount of money? I have never paid charges, but am so glad people are getting them back.

I'd have throught that about £10-30 would be the normal charge for a draft, so did someone make an error, or was some other service included in the £300?


Have you actuallyspoken ti someone in authorityat the bank for a full explanation. Most certainly I, who worked in the industry, would not accept anything from a clerk these days.

Ms Saunders claimed £922 in the county court, arguing that charges levied by the bank on her were an unlawful penalty.

The bank didn't respond to the summons. She doesn't know if it was sheer incompetence or a deliberate decision not to contest it and risk creating a bad precedent. Laura, assisted by a tenacious friend, who wants to be known only as Bob, then entered a default judgment but the bank did not pay on time.
