BBC Radio 4 - Money Box Live, 14/12/2011

Paul Lewis and a panel of guests answer calls on banking.

On Money Box Live Paul Lewis and guests take your calls on banking.

2011 has been a busy and expensive year for the banks. Thousands of people are owed billions of pounds for mis-sold Payment Protection Insurance products. Are you one of them and are you yet to receive your money?

Overdraft charges is another hot topic. Do you feel you've been unfairly penalised? What is a fair rate for going into the red without telling your bank beforehand? 

Savers in Britain are frustrated at continued low interest rates. With inflation running at around 5% are the banks offering any accounts that provide you with a reasonable rate of return?

Are you one of the growing number of people that bank online? Does it make life easier? Do you worry whether it's safe to manage your money using a computer? 

What are your rights if you are in dispute with your bank? 

Phone lines open at 1.00 pm on Wednesday afternoon and the number to call is 03700 100 444. Standard geographic charges apply. Calls from mobiles may be higher. The programme starts after the three o'clock news.
