In my case, I have just incurred a late payment charge and interest on my Barclaycard account because, with all that has been going on, I had forgotten to pay in time. Of course, life changing catastrophes are not a reason for the charges to be waived - of course not! When I rang, having received a snotty text telling me I could not use my card until I paid, I had the distince impression that the man at the other end thought I was making excuses.Jennytchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13621488409334115930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27523184.post-85535243643690469312009-09-16T14:03:05.038+01:002009-09-16T14:03:05.038+01:00Good for you!

Sadly the answer to "Why do banks rip us off in every way?" is "Because they CAN." Your account of it was very funny, of course, but when will banks etc ever take on board that we all hate pressing buttons, pickled voices, being put on hold and played music to - - and, most of all, being charged for it all?Daphnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14469075813149239051noreply@blogger.com
