In my Moneywise investigation into the increasing cost of overdrafts I reveal the latest tricks banks are employing to recoup lost profits, including repackaging unpopular and highly-criticised 'unauthorised' overdrafts as something else entirely, whilst increasing borrowing rates despite bank base rates remaining at an historic low of 0.5%.
And they're up to their usual tricks of making account terms and conditions as complex as possible to prevent comparison on a like-for-like basis. No wonder hardly any us bother to switch accounts even when we know we're being fleeced.
But let's not forget: "We're all in this together!" Big bonus anyone?
