Re: Government to ban card surcharges

I started a thread a while back about this when Which magazine started the campaign .They started a super complaint with the OFT .It's nice to see these things actually get sorted instead of just brushed aside once the media has finished reporting .
It is interesting to note that the ban was going to happen anyway accross the EU in 2014 ,we get ours a couple of years early


Quote:
A European Union ban on businesses including airlines from imposing above-cost surcharges was due to come into force in mid-2014.
But Mr Hoban said the Government was keen to act sooner, saying it was "leading the way in Europe by stopping this practice".
Consumer champion Which? submitted a "super-complaint" backed by tens of thousands of supporters to the OFT earlier this year.
