I have helped a few people recover money from the bank through the Financial Ombudsman Service, but have been unable to reach people affected because I have been denied access to public domain information by the Ministry of Justice. I wanted to contact consumers by using public domain information – county court judgment records, to inform them about the illegal charge and that they could claim it back.

However, the Ministry of Justice who contracts the maintenance of the Register of County Court Judgments to a limited company, Registry Trust, ensured that I would not have access to this public domain information.
