I Don’t Wish That This Was Still England,

Banks will face huge fines if they do not treat their customers fairly, under a crackdown to be announced by the Government today.

Ministers have decided to turn the voluntary code of practice operated by the banks into a legally-binding one, amid mounting concern that they are flouting their own rules during the credit crunch. The move follows claims that small businesses and individual customers have had the terms and conditions of their loans and overdrafts changed overnight by their banks.
