interest on loans from the banks

You may be aware of this but banks are currently changing their apr rates depending on how long you have held accounts with them???

This is not a fair practice and do not always stick with the offer they give you, if you query it they will come down a bit (depending on credit status)

past experience with lloyds who i have been with for 15 years i got a quoted figure online of 8.9% when making the application it went up to 20.4%!!! after querying it I ended up with something like 14% i took my business elsewhere and saved another 3%

Bancassurance is most peoples first choice but not always the best
