KEEP ME POSTED CAMPAIGN RECEIVES POLITICAL BOOST FROM RUSSELL BROWN MP
The Keep Me Posted campaign has received the full backing of Dumfries and Galloway MP Russell Brown 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.
Russell Brown MP said:
“It is important that local people 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. Imposing fees on local hardworking people 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.”
