Greedy Banks

[planeterotica]

It was reported on the ITN news last night that people are fighting back against greedy banks who are imposing unreasonable charges, i am one of those people, back in January when i recieved my statement it read at the bottom that my account would be debited with ?30.00 because of a direct debit payment which was not payed because of an uncleared cheque which was promtly cleared after this charge was made, now i must point out that i have a number of accounts with this bank which ammounts to several thousands of pounds, now ?30.00 is not going to make me or break me but its the principle, so i went straight into the bank and asked to speak to the manager where i was told that he was busy in which i replied i would wait, a short while later the manager came out and spoke to me he appeared to be a brain damaged cunt who was not interested in the money that i have invested with the bank and the ?30.00 charge would stand even when i pointed out that the direct debit was not payed because of their delay in clearing a cheque, needless to say i was none to happy with this cunt of a manager and told him so in terms of unpolitical correctness, as we all know when you pay a cheque in they are cleared automatically but the banks do not credit the money to your account for several days, so as i see it the bank was earning interest on my money but also wanted to charge me ?30.00 for the priveledge of doing so. i got the impression from this cunt of a manager that banks are no longer interested in savers but would rather have people with accounts that are in debt so i moved the direct debit payment to another account and withdrawled all the money from this account without informing the bank, i have just recieved my latest statement for this account which now reads ?90.00 in arrears for unpaid direct debit charges plus interest on these charges, now as i havnt borrowed one halfpenny from the bank and these charges have no legal standing it now cost them to keep this account open so are they now a clever lot of wankers sorry i meant bankers.

The filthy pricks rely on the fact that most of us are too busy earning an honest living to spend hours reading through the fine print in the 'terms and conditions' brochure that makes numerous references to another brochure that is "available on request". These are are of course eternally "due in next week."

The cherry on the cake is when they use the money they ripped off you in fees and charges to make ads which tell you how much they care for you and your family.

I'd prefer they hated me.
