Back at the original post, stapeley suggested that we should e-mail our MPs.
I e-mailed mine to ask her to sign up to Vince Cable's Early Day Motion on the subject.
About a week later, she did!
I absolutely agree with Stapeley that we all need to keep the pressure on them.
I don't know how influential I was... but if you want to do likewise, start by reading this article and follow the links
I totally agree let's get another useless bill debated. Please see here for one example:
http://www.sarwar.org.uk/cms/index.php?action=view_rd&event_id=12
The Bill was abandoned. I emailed him to ask why. So if anyone is in Mohammad Sarwar's constituency, please can you ask him why he abandoned the Bill cos he hasn't bothered responding to me either.0 -
I have to agree that emails have little impact, unfortunately. It would be nice to think that it has an impact but it does not.
Quite a few email campaigns and petitions have been tried before re reclaiming charges and nothing came of them.Please ignore those people who post on this forum who deliberately try to misinform you. Don't be bullied by them, don't be blamed by them. You know who I mean.
You come here for advice, help and support- thats what I and like minded others will try to do.0 -
maybe we should put the post office to good use and each person to send a letter every day asking for charges refunds,thttll cost a bout £10.00 per month for each person wanting there charges back.
crazy isnt it.it costs us that for one month,but the bank charges £39.00 for a single letter.
at least the post office would benefit with the work,something else the government cant deal with.missed direct debit charges,very odd,theres no pain so how come the big gain,i.e £39.00 for a letter0 -

PS. I think your a nob
Where did you go to school? This should be: "I think you're a knob."I used to think that good grammar is important, but now I know that good wine is importanter.0 -

Come on, it's Christmas Day and internet forum etiquette does say you shouldn't correct someone's spelling as it is bad manners since phonetically we knew what was being said. Merry Christmas and I hope you're having a good one!0
