Afraid for the future?

[martinwhite]

My wife and I had a discussion last week. She is worried that if I go after all our financial institutions we will end up on an "awkward list" with all of them and not be able to get an account/credit in future.

 

Although I am outraged that this should be the case, I am afraid to say that I agree with her. What happens if you p*ss off ALL the banks? As she said, each financial institution has the right to refuse business with you for any reason they choose. In the vast majority of cases, this is because of a credit rating problem. However what's to stop each of us being blacklisted by the bank we've claimed against?

 

I know people have written to the OFT but we've seen how "decisive" they are and it'll take ages.

 

I may stop after claiming against Nationwide even though I know I have claims against other banks.

Well, yes, I know what you mean, but surely, there MUST be some financial institutions you haven't p!ssed off? :o

 

Anyway, they're so bloody inept that the odds are that you'll be able to re-open an account with them after a couple of years, lol.

 

From a legal point of view, of course, your wages have to be paid in a bank account, so I can't see that ever happening... Or you could always join one of the foreign banks here, why not?

 

Personally, I refuse to let such a far-fetched possibility get in the way of justice!

 

Vive la Revolution!

I have credit cards with many of the main players.

 

Can p!ssing one bank off spread to another? Or are they so greedy that they don't care until they are in the firing line?

The latter, one suspects. It's a dog eats dog world, none more so than with banks... Well you know what they say, there is no honour amongst thieves.
