  • For people to win, someone must lose and it´s not the banks. Their profits will not suffer.

    The losers will be the people who manage their accounts responsibly and will, in future, have to pay to have an account. This may be fairer.

    The losers will be the people who manage their accounts responsibly and will, in future, have to pay to have an account.
    ...and those who were previously satisfactorily managing credit card debt, at circa 15.9% APR, now find that they are being charged circa 24.9% APR because lenders are reacting (both to the OFT's decision and to the number of claims being made) to maintain their profit margins.

    Because their credit ratings may not be good enough to allow them to apply for LOB or 0% cards elsewhere, the substantial increase in APR is more likely to result in a default situation - and guess what...£12 fees might not be as easily reclaimable.
