  1. Things You Need to Know About Mortgage Overcharging Check

  2. Banks are to be banned from charging excessive fees for unauthorized overdrafts as part of the UK's Financial Conduct Authority clampdown on the "dysfunctional" mind-boggling expense credit sector. (Financial Times Dec 2018) In what the Financial Conduct Authority described as the biggest intervention in the overdraft market for a generation, it is proposing a simple, single interest rate for each overdraft with no fixed daily or month to month charges. And everyone is now worried about the Mortgage Overcharging Check.

  3. Last year, firms made more than £2.4bn from overdrafts, with about 30% from unarranged overdrafts, the watchdog said. More than half the unauthorized overdraft fees came from 1.5% of customers in 2016, with people living in deprived areas generally affected. In some cases, these fees can be more than 10 times as high as charges for payday loans. The watchdog won't set a month to month price cap, arguing it could have unintended consequences, yet expects prices to fall as a result of competition from more transparent expenses.

  4. The FCA says that arranged overdraft prices must be advertised in a standard way, including an APR to help customers compare them; and refused payment fees should "reasonably correspond to the expenses of refusing payments" and must be explained. The FCA also told banks to accomplish more to identify customers who are in financial consultant trouble and to help them reduce their overdraft use – without announcing specific measures.

  5. The FCA also told banks to accomplish more to identify customers who are in financial consultant trouble and to help them reduce their overdraft use – without announcing specific measures. Following a consultation in May, the watchdog has already ordered firms to provide online tools that allow customers to check on the off chance that they can get a cheaper overdraft elsewhere, along with calculators that translate interest rates into pounds and pence. It has also asked for mobile phone alerts and changes to how overdrawn balances are displayed at cash machines.

  6. The FCA chief executive, Andrew Bailey, said: "These changes in Mortgage Overcharging Check would provide greater protection for a large number of people who use an overdraft, particularly the most vulnerable. It is clear to us that the way banks manage and charge for overdrafts needed fundamental reform. "We are proposing a series of radical changes to disentangle the way banks charge for overdrafts and tackle high charging for unarranged overdrafts. These changes would make overdrafts simpler, fairer, and easier to manage."
