Jeff Harney is one of hundreds of people who recently approached Go Public after losing a battle with their bank — many said they felt powerless in the face of new electronic banking contracts that they didn`t understand, couldn`t navigate, and felt they had protected their bank from liability.

Scotiabank did not respond to criticism of its online agreement with Go Public, but said in a statement: «We regularly review our policies and procedures to ensure they are in line with good practice.» «The purpose of communication is not just to pass on information.
