Citizens Advice has responded to a case against MasterCard, where the company is accused of imposing anti-competitive card charges which were then passed on to consumers.
Gillian Guy, Chief Executive of Citizens Advice, said:
“Consumers must be compensated when they are let down by businesses.
“Britain’s new class action powers - recently brought in through the Consumer Rights Act - are a major step forward in ensuring customers are properly represented when things go wrong.
“The accusations against MasterCard are very serious. If it is proved MasterCard customers have been ripped off they should get their money back.”
