- Monday, 28 September 2009Gordon Brown has called for a resolution to bank charges protocol to be reached.
The prime minister sent an open letter to MoneySavingExpert.com in which he expressly said the government had asked the banks to find quicker ways of resolving the matter.
Consumers have suffered as a result of high bank charges during the recession, with some needing
IVA advice - could Mr Brown have reduced this by writing sooner?
David Kuo, director of Fool.co.uk, believes that the prime minister had delayed voicing his public opinion on the matter in order to be sure he was making the correct call - both David Cameron and Nick Clegg had spoken up on the issue.
He said: "Gordon Brown could have done something much earlier on, but he has left it until almost the final whistle to say he thinks he knows which side is going to win the game."
The Royal Bank of Scotland announced earlier this month that it would be cutting its customer charges.
