Lords knows what banks are thinking, says Which?

As the House of Lords allows banks to appeal against the High Court's decision in the bank charges test case, Which? personal finance campaigns manager, Doug Taylor, says: "It's outrageous that public money is being used to drag this saga out for even longer when the banks should accept the Court of Appeal's decision and draw a line under this issue once and for all.

"Not only are the banks prolonging the misery for their customers, many of whom are struggling to make ends meet, they are doing further damage to their already battered public image."
