    The monthly fee rose from £10 to £12.50 and I couldn't justify it really. My card was then renewed and they sent me the bog standard card.

    My mum has a paid for account with Barclays which she canceled and turned into a normal accont and she got to keep her platimum debit card, they just sent her a new one as old one expired last month and she has platinum CG £250 again.They must love her!

    whats the topic of conversation 2night then guys

    Banking account and Jacamo Fairmon.

    I forgot to reply to your message yesterday about the default.

    I have written two letters demanding they remove them. I'm waiting for the reply. What shall I do next? I have sent £1.00 to ask for my default notice CCA etc, I still haven't had a reply yet either..

    I withdraw from counter at Natwest pay into Abbey then take it back out of the hole in the wall over 2 days cos (S)Abbey don't do faster payments which is a pain in the !!!!. Do the same with A&L cos have to pay at least £500 into that a month otherwise I get charged although that I can use faster payments for. My Natwest statment always says £3000 odd credited to the account everymonth LMFO. I WISH!

    Bloody hell, that will take you ages. Lol

    Have you asked for the oyster credit card with Barclaycard instead of the platinum one you have?

    I was going to but you don't get any cashback pulse points anymore, You used ti get back 5% on your oyster purchases:money:
