Consumer Group's Unite

[stephen1976]

ww.Penaltycharges.co.uk Is very pleased to confirm that we have joined forces with Money Saving expert, Legal Beagles and the Consumer Action Group.
In a joint campaign against unlawful bank charges, Money Saving Expert has paid for Ray Cox QC to draft the New Particular of Claim for all forums, which should be available for members to use within 10 days,

We stress that all sites are now working as one to bring Justice to all consumers who have been the victim(s) of Unlawful bank charges

new shocked
This is truly great news.
As someone who has fallen out with the management of two of the others in the past, this is a welcome rapprochement LOL

Blimey - who got that lot around the table? If you managed to pull it off you deserve to be Lord Hone of Plymouth
group?

''We are working with MSE, PC and CAG. MSE have funded Mike Dailly (Govan Law, umm FSA Consumer forum now?, and bank charges campaigner amongst other things) and Raymond Cox QC (fountain court Fountain Court - People - Raymond Cox QC (http://www.fountaincourt.co.uk/raymond-cox-qc/) ) to write the new POC (currently with defending strike out action and claims from banks in mind ) We have a draft POC to use in the meantime which should be confirmed this afternoon and this will be open for the other free consumer sites to utilise as needed. The consumer groups are also behind a possible class action on behalf of consumers and further news on this will be announced as it develops.

We cannot rush into anything as this is a very technical judgment, the OFT have admitted that the case went wrong and off of the wrong track when 5(1) was taken out, and discussions are continuing with them on the way forward.

The BBA and FSA are keeping an eye on the banks actions and we will continue to pressure the banks to hold fire until the OFT has made a decision on their next steps.

So we're stronger, but the advice is still to hang fire.......''

Yes if the class action does happen then, a QC will be instructed to act on behalf of consumers, clearly the stay needs to remain for now, this is why we have suggested that consumers do not apply to have their stay lifted yet,

However if any consumers do receive letters from their banks and/or the court they need to inform us straight away
