KEEP ME POSTED CAMPAIGN RECEIVES POLITICAL BOOST FROM SANDRA OSBORNE MP
· Sandra Osborne MP is fighting for the right of her Ayr, Carrick and Cumnock constituents to receive paper bills and statements from service providers without charge
· Banks and other service providers are increasingly restricting access to paper bills and statements with little or no consultation
· Customers are often charged a fee for the “privilege” of a paper statement
The Keep Me Posted campaign has received a boost from Sandra Osborne MP.
The campaign believes it is every consumer’s right to choose, without disadvantage, how they are contacted by banks and financial service companies, utility companies, and other service providers.
Keep Me Posted which is a partnership of representatives from charities, interests groups and businesses including Age UK, Personal Finance Education Group, Disability Action, Mind and the National Consumer Federation are increasingly concerned about the growing trend towards online only bills and statements and the impact this is having on people’s ability to effectively manage their finances.
Sandra Osborne said: “It is important that my constituents are able to choose how they receive important financial information from service providers including banks and utility companies. Customers should be entitled to free paper statements as part of the standard service they receive. Levying hardworking individuals who either don’t have online skills, cannot afford computers or broadband, or are unable to manage their affairs online for various reasons is unfair and we must fight against it.”
