    At our CAB, the most common creditor is LloydsTSB, so I'm surprised no-one has mentioned them. Perhaps our local branch is just very good at selling consolidation loans (and ppi) to people who can't afford the first instalment.

    They're also the most dificult to deal with because of how s...l...o...w they are.

    Coutt's largest debtor (to my knowledge) was the Queen Mother who's overdraft ran to several millions.

    I expect her name was on the list of some DCA or other :rolleyes:

  • Hi
    Thanx for all the input. Odd how the same names seem to pop up all the time
    One bank that I don't seem to have noticed is First Direct. Maybe they don't need to start charging as they don't seem to have any problem customers !

    I think I read the other day that they are just about to introduce a monthly charge. :mad:
