They're at it again!
The banks, that is. Link:
Don't they ever learn?! How many more times is this going to come up? For me, the issue is very, very simple: I AM NOT PAYING TO GAIN ACCESS TO MY OWN BLOODY MONEY!!! End of! If I have to, I'll just go into my local branch and go to the counter - and I suggest you all do the same. The counter staff will soon get tired of dealing with little else in a day, I imagine! Unless they start charging us for that, too! |

Re: They're at it again!
Yes, the link is current. :) The idea was dropped; perhaps someone had a brief attack of common sense. But now they're at it again...hence the thread title. :p:
And it is not a service per se; we are doing the banks a favour by putting our money in there. The whole thing is - or should be - paid for by the staggering amount of interest they earn on our money. As far as I'm concerned, the "service" has been paid for, and is still being paid for - it is not free and never has been; like the NHS, it is only free at the point of delivery. This is capitalism out of control; the already obscene bonuses they're still getting are clearly not enough for them! I wonder, though: if the OFT loses the case, are they all going to do it? It occurs to me that it would be good business sense for one bank to hold off on charging customers (if they can restrain their greed for just long enough...unlikely but possible) until all the others are doing it...then announce that they're not, and watch as the lemming rush of new customers begins. That's how I'd do it, anyway. Of course, the end result of that would be that they'd all jump on the bandwagon, and before they know where we are, we're back at the start again. It's almost funny. Almost. |
Re: They're at it again!
I'll just use cashback instead...There are enough 24/7 Tescos and Asdas and open late Co-ops around.;)

Re: They're at it again!
although maggy you would not be suprised cashback to be charged too. Infact would not be shocked to see levy charge on ALL transactions from shops to cash withdrawals.
Anyway did anyone spot this nugget Quote:

if it escelates to alsort charges which that second link suggests we could be heap trouble. Does anybody know if this fixed charge one fee or will escelate the more you get out. Say if you get £90 would it be £2.50 per £10 to speek. Now give you example on another thread I said got put in wrong account. I got charged for everything I did absolute everything. I would assume the following will happen Cheque Transaction charged cashpoint withdrawal charged direct debit transaction charged The bank charges ended upto £100 a month How many out there can afford that out of there money because this is the sort fees we will be facing. Thats not forgetting the going into red even having authorised overdraft. |
