Evidence on overdraft charges from Scottish CABPublication date:June 2010
Research report which looks at the continuing effects of unfair and disproportionate overdraft charges on vulnerable and low income clients.
The recession has left Scots more exposed than ever to disproportionate and unfair overdraft charges from their banks. For our clients they are unfair – they are disproportionate to the level of infringement, they penalise low income customers for being poor, and trap many in a cycle of debt for an overdraft that can be as little as a penny.
