Yeah, the banks must be crapping themselves over this, as it is the largest single class action ever undertaken in NZ

I think the site's overloaded... it wouldn't surprise me. I'd probably not bother because I basically never get stung with late/penalty fees (and when I have, my personal banker has reversed them for me

) BUT since almost all of the banks are owned by 'Strayan companies, I'll sign up when I can

I'll be into that. Westpac charge $25 the thieving bastards. I'll be in just for the satisfaction of costing them a lot of money and watching them squirm.

Yep, good job. I posted the NZ Herald version earlier but in the General Bike Ravings forum (awaiting infarction).

That'll teach me to send via my KB-068, PC and ADSL while operating a Mk3 coffee cup.

The bank I use (USBank) charges $40 per transaction if you go into overdraft if you have no OD protection set up.
The moral of the story is keep an eye on your spending and don't go into OD.

Pretty much thats the norm for many.... The banks like it when you are like that and work hard to keep you there... You want fries with that?

Rang bank last week to complain about a unauthorised payment - the payment had put that account into OD. The bank then charged me $15 for it going into OD. When I called them and made a fuss to talk to a manager they then charged me another $15 for the phone call...

Already signed up...

They could also look at the way they hold on to money - I did an internet transfer of an emergency amount to a relative - the bastards wouldn't let her access it for 5 working days! It was out of my account immediately! I could have withdrawn the cash ad posted it to her faster! Cunts!
