My Story....

[blackrain]

I discover you and other people are hitting back at the banks. Never thought I could do this but decide I will too.

 

The trigger point was 2 things. 1, my wife was on long term sickness nearly six months. Her health was the most important thing obviously but long term sick also leads to Statutory Sick pay which isn't much.

 

After a few months getting by my wife goes back to work. I now work overtime again because I don't have to rush home as before but it's a bit late. Money has run out.

 

The real killer was bank holiday weekend when Barclays in their infinite wisdom took Direct Debits up to and INCLUDING Tuesday.....?

 

The long and short is they have now charged me 7 X £35 for a £164 direct debit. It keeps being drawn every 5 days. I have told them my circumstances. They keep charging.

 

I hope Barclays are reading because I will take this all the way. I am so so angry.

 

I want to thank the people of this board because I have been lurking for sometime taking advice and appreciate it. I will give updates.

 

p.s. My first request for statements was ignored. My first letter got standard reply.

Good luck - we're watching, honest!
