    Disgusting they didn't drop the 0.5% from last week, I bet they wont' today either.

    4% or something insane they are currently charging, that's surely an absolute abuse of power, especially considering this is the bank we have bailed out.

    GB should step in and force them to drop the rate, no iff/butts, absolutely force it to something sane.

    When things pick up again, this bank will be dead, people will leave it in droves when they can.

    fingers crossed again, as this is surely the last cut by the BOE I think we will get something maybe 0.2%:confused: If not I'm gonna have to start the whole offical complaints thing.

    So in total 2% down on where we should be.

    Well RBS just consider this (along with a few bank charges outstanding) a loan!! because we will eventually have it all back with INTEREST!!

    Quick question....

    Does anybody here have a note of all the BOE interest rate drops and the drops that Virgin gave us to compare ?

    I'm thinking of setting up a simple website outlining how Virgin is abusing the cuts, not passing on the interest rate drops, screwing their customers etc.

    Potentially getting a simple virtual signed petition, and then getting it out there, must be possible to get a physical letter to GB showing him how the very bank he has bailed out with our money is flat out abusing the billions we have given them and contiuning to make people struggle.

    If anybody wants to help me with this, I can provide the hosting, the domain etc.

    4%+ interest on a BOE of .5% is a disgrace. I took this account on the basis it would always be 1% above the BOE, come back Richard, all is forgiven.
