Assuming you can't afford to get by after youve paid the charges, you could try to get your wages paid into a friend or relatives account temporarily?

I assume youve done all you can to get Nationwide to remove limit the charges they intend to apply?

I've treied speaking to the manager today I'm in work at 11:00 so cant get down there in time. Its a joke it really is.

I guess I can ask to get paid by cheque this month and get it cashed somewhere.

Happy bloody new year huh?

Have you tried ringing them up? Continue to move up the chain of command until someone offers to do something to help. Firmly and politely (important) refuse to get off the phone until you've reached a satisfactory compromise. The only good thing about call centres is that advisors are monitorred on average call time and so will want to avoid you hanging on for ages.

Ive done this in the past and after several times being told that nothing can be done I've been offered some sort of agreement.

Good luck SOBS!

How come they are taking some much from you ???

I agree with the others, sort out another account to pay your wages into. Or maybe talk nicely to the manager or the call centre number
