Hi
What I don’t get is why they won’t change, I am one of the lucky one’s, no debt to really speak about but I know one day it may happen. Big Bonuses are being paid out and we seem to be the ones that are paying them, I cant afford a great deal in life and money is tight but it really gets to me that some of the bank charges I am paying are going towards the bonuses, not to improve the services I rarely use.

Good to have a moan. Cheers

Hi I cant believe just how badly my bank has acted recently. I have been with my bank for twenty two years now, I have taken out loans and repaid them on time, I have two credit cards and always made my payments on time and never had any cause to complain. My husband recently lost his job and my hours were cut, we have been working for the same company for about twelve years and have a great track record with our wages. Well, I contacted my bank to explain about our situation and to see if I can reduce the payments down on the loan we have or to try and consolidate some of the debt into our mortgage, the response I got was that if I don't keep the repayments up, they would have to take further action. I still cant believe that there was no give at all. I went on the internet and found Welcome Solutions, I chatted with Sam about my debts and she explained how it works, I am not happy that I have to go down this route when I really believe that my bank could have done allot more to help me out. I am now on a Debt Management plan with Welcome Solutions and my payments have been reduced and life is good. The banks really need to wake up as it wont be long before we are both back in full time employment and back to where we were.

Hi Nigel, i worked for a bank for nearly fifteen years and found that the approach to customers never changed in that time. I have always thought that if the banks were more understanding to those who struggle they would keep them as clients. I am now unemployed and being hassled by the very bank i worked for, i have tried to pay back money that i owe them but my pleas for help just falls on deaf ears. The systems that are in place really need looking at as i know that they can do more to help if they really wanted to. I suppose it comes down to profits at the end of the day. Am i an acceptable loss? Maybe.
