Well annoyed, banks are crap. Have they screwed over my little sister? Is this fair!?

The sum demanded and calculated by the bank is outrageous....I am against the amount expected of her to pay.....

OP - I must be the only one on here who 100% agrees with you. Actually, more like 150% in agreement!

I think your sister has possibly got an account with the only bank in the UK who would act like this. Possibly, even the world! It' outrageous!! I would recommend going to the press as you suggested earlier and kick up a stink.
Make sure when you do though, you send them a copy of the T&C's and highlight the section that says "if you take an unauthorised overdraught (and if you ignore numerous letters informing you of this), we will not charge you...".

It don't work with me.
If you nice and compliant - I'll ignore you and feed you rubbish.
If you say you'r going to rip my fkn head off and stuff it up my ars - you get your job done.
Those who scream loudest get sorted - those that don't get ignored.

Try looking at ISP complaints forums for examples of this. People make umpteen attempts to get some issues dealt with through the normal channels and are fobbed off, so they complain loudly and publically on the forum that the service is crap etc - and whadya see - the ISP staff rushing to help out and get it fixed.

As I suggested before, this would not help one little bit towards making "little sister" more capable in money matters.

What is your objective here? Helping that young woman to get a grip, or fame in some tabloid (no respectable paper will print this story).

If you do find any T&Cs that say what you suggest above, please post details here.
BTW, it's overdraft, not overdraught.

It is a sad fact of life that in the main only poor people pay bank charges and fees. In over forty years banking I have never paid bank charges or credit card interest.

I think you've missed the sarcasm in BritRael's post.

LOL, think you might be right there, mildred1978! Perhaps I should wake up before I make any posts...
