Bank Charges :(
Looking for a bit of advice. We have a nationwide flexaccount, which has an o/d limit of £800. Recently, because of a few expensive months, we have had to use this facility. I presumed that with a limit of £800 I would not be able to go over that, so imagine my shock when I logged onto yesterday to find us more than £1000…

Worst bank ever - Alliance & Leicester Premier Direct
This all started when I opened an account with them. This was around September 2009. The original deal was to open the account and get £100 cash back after a few months but only if they did all the direct debit arranging. It was an online only account which is perfect for me as I never have time to go to a bank. So the…
