    I am right now writing my very first letter of complaint having read your responses. This is a brave thing to do because I hate fallout,upset and bad feeling but i am annoyed. I got to thinking that maybe this is what the bankruptcy section told the assisstant while I was on hold but the assisstant should have an ounce of customer training wriggle those words round a little so I wouldn't feel so offended.


    Way to go mich......well done for being pro-active. Make sure you are polite and unoffensive,no point in lowering yourself to their standards;)

    Good luck with the complaint letter writing, trust me, it becomes addictive once you get your wings ;)

  • Barclays offered to open a savings account for me!! As i was explaining i get eg £15 for car tax, £40 for clothes............ , the man said ' why not open a savings account, if you put more than £20 a month in you get our better % rate, it'll help when you have to tax your car etc'

    so i now have £50 a month going by standing order to my savings account
