GLC to launch series of financial services test cases

Govan Law Centre (GLC) will be launching a series of financial services test cases, commencing with a case seeking a refund of legal expenses in a Scottish mortgage repossession case where no calling-up notice was served prior to litigation.

Other cases (with UK wide applicability) will include court actions to recover charges for mortgage arrears management, litigation management and associated charges.

This is in addition to our current unfair UK bank charge litigation (which tests ss.140A and 140B of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 and regulation 5 of the UTCCR on non-price fairness grounds).

GLC would be interested to hear from anyone in Glasgow who has incurred a number of current account overdraft charges during 2010 and/or 2011 with a view to us seeking to recover these for free using new legal research; please contact 0141 440 2503 in strict confidence.

More details to follow in due course.
