Demand banks suspend overdraft charges during coronovirus pandemic

Petition Details

Demand banks suspend overdraft charges during the pandemic as people will be forced to use them and the banks will be making profit.
This will put people into more debt and may force people to continue work other than isolate as they should.

Additional Information

This is a national crisis that the bank's should not be profiting from. They were bailed out by the public 12 years ago, perhaps now they can pay it back and help us.
