    I think the term 'Back Office' means administrive services, like IT work, etc, not maing business decisions about who should/should not get a credit card.

    I think you will find that Mombassa is in an entirely different continent than the one India is in.

    Give me a break. I can't see much help even call to a UK call centre. The problem is the customer service department which is not providing service they should provide. Don't mention to make a call, even write to them.

    What are you trying to say with your quote daveboy?
    That is not funny and to me that sounds Racist.

    Oh come on Cobra....that's not remotely racist! It's a well known fact that Leicester has a huge Indian population....as do a few places round my way come to that (North London).

    And before you jump on me for my reply, I come from a minority group in this country that is constantly abused on TV and in the media......and I don't take the slightest offence - I just laugh and take the remarks in the context they are meant. Political correctness can be taken too far.

    Call centres....I've moved banks because of them - nothing against Indians, but different cultures and lack of training ultimately mean problems. I think most UK companies are now moving back because they've realised the experiment isn't working.
