Rejected petition Make Service Charges and Admin Fees illegal.

Stop companies from applying unreasonable and/or unnecessary service charges and admin fees.

More details

Many companies apply unreasonable and/or unnecessary service charges or admin fees, when no administration or additional service has been provided.

I would like the government to discuss making it illegal for any company, online or otherwise, to be able to charge unreasonable and/or unnecessary service charges and admin fees. In particular, where no company employee involvement is required, such as e-tickets. Service Charges on withdrawing your own money from a ATM should also be made illegal.

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We understand that you're concerned about fees but we're not sure what specific fees or companies you're concerned about.

We could accept a petition calling for the Government to ban cash machine charges, if that's something that you'd like to see.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
