Hi All
Just saw this on the bbc website: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7095907.stm
Seems like a very positive step to me!

The Office of Fair Trading (OFT) has rejected the main defence put forward by banks over their current account charges ahead of a key court case.
The banks argue their charges pay for a service provided to customers, and are therefore not covered by current consumer regulations. But the OFT says it believes none of the charges applied when customers go overdrawn constitute a service.
Seems like a very positive step to me!
