Stop religious discrimination from Lloyds TSB Bank
We the people would like prompt action to be taken against Lloyds TSB Bank regarding the terms of their Islamic Accounts.
Non-muslim accounts may be charged up to £80 a month including a £6 monthly fee. This is wavered on Islamic accounts as it is against their religious beliefs in relation to Sharia Law.
I think it is unfair that we are discriminated against due to our religious beliefs or lack of certain beliefs.
Here is a quotation from "The Telegraph"
While many will have to pay up to £80 a month if they go into the red, Muslims were told they would escape the charges. The document said: “We are removing the monthly overdraft management fee of £6 from our Islamic Account, Islamic Student Account and Islamic Graduate Account. So, if you use an unplanned overdraft on these accounts, there won’t be any charges.”
This kind of religious discrimination needs to be reviewed promptly as it is unfair and lacks equality.
