I was charged £20 for a standing order failing because i was 30pence short in my account then also a 30pound overdraft fee. Form the nationwide. I am a mother of two children and work hard for my money i explained this to the nationwide when i appealed against the charges but never got any where except to gain more charges because when they took it out of my account i did not have enough to cover the direct debits that were due all told they took 110 pound from my account that month. This is daylight robbery.

Frankly I think that the OFT has got it wrong.
The charges are clearly in the Terms and Conditions.People should be responsible for their own actions.
Going overdrawn without a prior arrangement is nothing more than stealing.
One cant go into a shop, pick up something and walk out without being accused of stealing so why should some people try to take liberties with their Bank and then cry “Foul” and moan about being charged.
I think Martin Lewis has fuelled the flames and he is misguided.
