Argos Owner Faces £30m Bill For Overcharging

Argos owner Home Retail Group is setting aside at least £30m in compensation after admitting thousands of store card customers were overcharged. They are expected to receive compensation of up to £100 each and Home Retail will write to affected customers in the next few weeks. It said its financial services division had discovered it "had erroneously collected excess fees in relation to the late payment of amounts due from certain customers".
