Lib Dems pledge to curb bank charges
12/04/2010Excessive overdraft charges will be scrapped by the Liberal Democrats, Nick Clegg has announced.
Speaking whilst on the election trail, Mr Clegg would stop the business world "ripping people off" and end the exploitation of bank customers.
This comes after the banks won a legal victory over the Office of Fair Trading last year on the subject of bank charges.
Other areas of the Lib Dems' "manifesto for consumers" include attempting to stop private sector wheel-clamping and bringing in new energy tariffs to help those with financial problems.
Labour and the Conservatives are also aiming to boost consumer rights.
