Bank Charges

[Collymore]

Just checked my online banking, and i've been charged £38 for not being able to cover a £20 transfer into my savings account!!! I'm so angy I jumped in my car to go and give them some crap, but the natwest shuts at 4:30 where all the other banks shut at 5

I'm a bloody student in my final year without a penny to rub together, trying to put some away in a savings account and they charge me that I'm gonna have there heads tomorrow

I gave someone at the bank some right shit today. Really really made me feel better and the problem was resolved in my favour.

if it wasn't for gordon brown writing off the, damn, third worlds debts the charges wouldn't be so harsh!

i left natwest a long long time ago, they used to be quite good, and would warn you (free of charge) if you were about to go O/D but they stopped that mofo and started letting you go O/D and not telling you for days and charging the arse off you......i soon found all banks are the same! esp first direct

Did a six month stint on secondment to a bank once as a manager.

Got in right trouble for reversing over £1000 of charges on some woman's account. She had written a £6 cheque every day for two weeks at the co-op to feed her family not realising the extent of the charges being applied.

There must be thousands like her, it's not right.

Ha ha ha, marched in there today looking for someone's head, and then realised the girl I would have to ask was someone I went to school with! luckily she reversed it instantly, not even giving me a chance for a rant! Bloody banks

All banks are pretty annoying.

I am pretty p*ssed at FirstDirect, because they refuse to let me have a free SMS notification when I get into the red. They claim it is because "they cannot send so many SMS for free".

However, they are happy to send me a totally useless summary of weekly transactions each week (which I don't care for).

The emergency SMS would occur maximum once a month, while the other is a weekly thing. So cost is not the reason. What other reason could they have but wanting me to go into the red so they can charge me for being overdrawn?

However, overall I prefer banks in the UK than in Italy.

In Italy, you pay a charge even to keep your account and to make a deposit into your own account!?!?

Most people I know in Italy do not want to have a bank account, as it is too expensive to run.

I used to have a student bank account in Italy. I remember that they even charged me to close down my (student) savings account!?!?!

That's weird, First Direct send us daily account SMS summaries which include recent ransactions and balances for two accounts. They arrives at about 6:00am which gives us time to get money transferred in to stop us going over our OD limit. Why can't they do this for you?
