Up yours Banks !!

[cirianz]

Jesus Christ!!! You guys pay That much in charges!!!! That is a rip off & a half!!!
I thought the $15NZD they charge over here was too steep!
They tried increasing it to $30NZD at one stage, but there was so much clamour about it that in the end they reduced it back down again.

Also, I'm afraid I'm like mucks in this, I don't generally spend more money than i have, plus I pay most of my bills in advance (before the actual bill comes out) & I don't HP, so I don't have any debts except for the house. So that keeps my bills down to living costs.
Plus, I'm stingy, when I saw just how high the monthly fees for electronic transactions were on my bank statements I went back to using cash wherever i can. Helps prevent accidental overspending & impulse buying too, as I always know just exactly how much money I have in my wallet.

I'm sorry, but I think even £12 is apalling!

This has been going on for a while now.

The banks simply cannot justify charging the fees because its all automatic now

I have friends that have over the past 8 - 10 years been charged stupid amounts of money.

They are now claiming thousands back. One in particular is claiming 5k on his account

But we have to protect the masses

Why?

Plebs don't understand then they deserve to get fleeced

Aye oop lad, you can't cross that line, I'm a Union Official.

You'd never believe I was once a Socialist would you? If your old man's a scouser I'm afraid it's ingrained in you

As for Banks - use them, don't them let them use you- simple.

Rip-off, hyporitical, greedy, heartless buggers the lot of 'em.

I do remember a Natwest Bank Manager saying to me once 'May we refer, Mr ********, to our original agreement where you agreed to deposit money with us and not vice versa?'
