Eugh, phonecalls are expensive! If you've got the time go to a branch and
see a real person - they're better trained and get it sorted there and then
without costing you several pounds. Of course a few quid might be better
than losing your lunch break :-/

Come off the fence say what you mean, you are among friends, why not express
yourself.

That's good to hear Pete, glad it's all sorted.

HOLY COW !!

Twenty five quid a DAY? That is f***ing outrageous!

I think you should tell us the name of these thieving swines, so we
will be aware of their nature in future.

Anyway, hope the hip is healing well Pete, have a good Christmas mate
( Woo Hoo !! Figgy Pudding !! ).

LOL! It is outrageous but after re-reading the small print I see I was
being slightly misleading. It's £25 if "you have an unauthorised
overdraft for any 2 days in a monthly charging period" then a further £25
if "you have an unauthorised overdraft for any further 3 days in a monthly
charging period....Capped at £50 per month". Additionally there's the
interest + £5 monthly charge + £30 for any "failed transaction because of
unsufficient funds".

Alliance & Leicester. They're otherwise very good, actually. Just stay
in the black!

Merry Christmas to you and all readers.
