:mad: Do u have a First Direct Current Account?
Wel as of Feb 2007 they wil b charging £10 a month to their customers unles they have a minimum of £1,500 a month bein paid into their Current Account. This is just another way to rip of their customers! Ther4 - I am cancelling my account with them, n I urge other customers who dont want 2 pay this rediculous amount 4 the 'priviledge' of having a Current Account 2 do the same! Hopefully they wil lose custom n it wil send a mesage 2 Banks everywhere who r thinkin of doin this that we wil not put up wiv 'made up' charges wen it suits them, especially wen ther is absolutely no xtra benefit to us - their 'VALUED' Customers.

From the grammatical structure of your post, I assume you spend a lot of your time sending text messages on your mobile?

That aside, First Direct are a relatively small arm of the HSBC group; they're being used as guinea pigs to test the response to these charges.

For what it's worth, First Direct reckon less than 2% of their customer base will be affected.

Thoroughly dreadful, I counted 28 spelling mistakes in a 130 word post and I didn't even get as far as starting on the syntax errors.

As you say, it's actually difficult to read - you have to slow down to the reading speed of a Sun reader

Well, I think I've answered my own question. I'm pleased to say that I don't know what you're talking about Phoenix... But from what you're referring to I can only imagine... :rotfl:
