The banks will lose and all those folks mugged by greedy thieving banks will quite rightly get every penny back.

Alas poor Sussex will not be getting a dime. :sad:

I wonder if this ruling will apply to Building Societies too?

With tens of thousands of houses repossessed in the last year alone, many of those behind with mortgage payments have been charged £60 & considerably more when they have missed monthly repayments.

I wonder if Building Societies will also get a kicking?

That's as maybe but one of the largest suppliers of mortgages is now a bank and not a building society so perhaps they will pay a little extra attention to the ruling :D

Same applies, OFT regards those crazy charges as fines, as they far outstrip the actual processing costs.

If the Supreme Court upholds that view, the Office of Fair Trading will determine whether charges of £35 a time for exceeding your overdraft limit are fair. It has hinted it thinks they are unjust.


An overdraft? What's that? :?
