Imposing unreasonable charges to customers

I have been a customer for approximately 24 years and have had a number of products with them, in the past few years I have not been overly impressed and even less so in the past few months when they imposed a 75p charge per day if you went over £15 overdrawn....very harsh and to a point I have moved most of my banking to Nationwide Reviewed on: 17th February 2016
