Alliance and Leicester Account Charges

Anyone who opened an Alliance and Leicester Bank account (there were some good incentives with quidco a little while ago) be aware that they are charging £5.00 a month if you don't pay in £500 per month.

    thanks for this.

    Yet another reason why Im leaving them I think :(
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:
  • Yes. Looks a very attracive account but once they suck you in with the initial offer they hammer you with stupid charges for nowt with every opporunity.

    Also as I joined them before the 10% accounts where availiable I was not eligable for that type of savings account.

    I'll be leaving very soon. Abbey looks a good account.
  • Oh b*&%$er - and I've just started the ball rolling to dump Halifax and open an A&L account, to profit as per the link on this site's home page!!!
    However, I do intend to put my measly NHS salary into it, enjoy the recommendation bonus, as well as get a lot of relief from my £1500 overdraft - A&L 0%, Halifax 13 point something.
  • I'm still waiting for the £50 from quidco for A&L from august.

    Nothing to do but hibernate till spring
