well i just rang and because we have a savings account with nothing in it!!!! and hubby has a credit card at nothing then we wont be charged. The woman said it was to get people who sit with a bank account with no money comming in to basically get off their !!!!! and close it or pay!!!!!!!

I used to love first direct & still have an account with them...why? because I have a loan with them & they refuse to allow me to close the account! I was really upset when I got the letter as thought I'd have to transfer salary into it again & then straight out to avoid the fee (rip off). I just wish I had the money to pay off my loan & tell them where to stuff it but aint happenin now! Hopefully they'll realise that people are not happy (made the news all day!) and backtrack...would be interested to see their figures over the past/next year! Cust service is great but should have read the small print (story of my life!)..!

Read the small print. As you have a loan with them you won't have to pay the £10
