Unfair bank charges for payments treated as standing order

Cash point problems and bank charges

Unfair bank charge thanks to messed up payment

This form of charging is I feel is a cheap way to get money out of the unsuspecting customer and in my case where I have the most basic account, it’s just a rip-off.



I am disgusted with the way that Lloyd's TSB have treated me as a customer. I have recieved an insufficient funds charge on a payment I made to another personal account, all because of cash point card problems in the first place!

06-1-2008Online banking is a nightmare when it comes dealing with logging on or calling the remote call centre.

06-1-2008What really gets my back up is the time taken to transfer funds from one account to another. Why, if you are using the internet banking service, does it take 4 working days to move your money? Why isn't it instantaneous? I'll tell you why. Once the banks get your money by whatever mea...moreMake the Banks Pay

16-12-2007As far as student accounts go I have found Natwest to be the best. It has a £2000 interest free overdraft for the length of the account, good in case your loan is late, and the staff are really friendly if your like me and you keep loosing your card :S If you take a few deep breaths and ...moreAriarnia
15-12-2007Free £250 overdraft? Who is kidding whom? There is no such thing as a "free lunch". Banks are the archangels of capitalism. They are untouchable. Lucifer was an archangel who fell from grace. As a consumer, I died of consumption.Tee Bee
