Gareth,

Sincerest apologies if my last post came across as ascerbic and directed at you personally. I assure you this was not my intention.

I disagree that my figures are optimistic. The banks make billions in penalty fee charges. If I was in their position and believed for a second that the charges were entirely legal then I'd pretty much be prepared to pay anything (short of 3 billion) to defend and win a case to secure my entitlement to continue to do so for perpetuity. They, however, don't want to engage because they are acting illegally and they know it. Case law / consumer law and proven cases are there on the statute books to prove the fact.

We are in agreement that we'd both love to see this in court - but the banks don't share our enthusiasm.
