BANK OF SCOTLAND OVERDRAFT CHARGES

Early day motion 2177, tabled 27 October 2009 by Jim Sheridan (Labour). Signed by 58 members.

That this House is concerned about the changes recently announced by the Bank of Scotland for current account holders' overdraft payments; believes that these new charges could mean customers with a modest overdraft having to pay almost 300 per cent. more in payments to the bank, resulting in even more anxiety and personal debt for those affected; and calls on the bank to reconsider these proposed changes.

Signatures by party: Labour 40, Liberal Democrat 6, DUP 3, Scottish National Party 3, Independent 2, Conservative 1, Plaid Cymru 1, Respect 1, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
