BANK ACCOUNT CLAIMS

Packaged Bank Account Claims Lawyers

Packaged Bank Accounts are known as ‘paid-for’ or ‘privilege’ accounts. A Packaged Bank Account is a bank account for which you pay a monthly fee sold as an upgraded account. If you have a similar bank account – or have had one within the past three years, you could be one of the many people who have been sold such an account improperly. Figures suggest that the majority of Packaged Bank Accounts fall into a category where the people were not informed about the monthly/annual fee charges.

Packaged Bank Accounts are highly profitable for the bank and sales staff. It is because the staff generously get rewarded for signing customers up.

In 2012, The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) found that many of the banks incentivized their staff in such a way that they disregarded the welfare of the customer in favour of receiving bonus payments and rewards. Packaged Bank Accounts are highly profitable for the bank and sales staff.

Some of the instances of mis-selling are:

  • You were not aware of your packaged bank account
  • You were not completely explained about the product
  • Misguidance of the information such as you were
  • Told you were eligible for the claim when you were not
  • Misguided you about your credit scoring
  • You were not informed of the entire cost involved
  • Involved or aware of the increase in cost
  • Misguided about your application acceptance
  • Until you have an account opened with the bank
  • Bank not accepting your refusal
