I got it back but I was amazed that they would do that.

Lesson learnt Tes. They are vultures. Treat them with the same contempt as fee charging DMP companies. They are scum and the enemy!

i find it inconcievable that a mother no matter what can not keep a little bit aside to cover over a couple of days to make sure that there is food in the house

Wait til you have kids

BTW i always have food in even if i can't pay the bank charges

£50 as an example, £20 is more than enough to feed your child over 3 days like the poster needed
£20 is one months mobile phone bill, a couple of t-shirts worth
the price of one or two takeouts, i find it hard to believe anyone no matter how much in debt can not keep £20 cash aside to feed your child, im trying not to have a go at this one woman im sure i dont know all her circumstanceds but i find it inconcievable that a mother no matter what can not keep a little bit aside to cover over a couple of days to make sure that there is food in the house

Unfortunately it does still happen, for a variety of reasons.

She might have done, but then had to give it to the bank for an unlawful charge. It's where my rainy day money has gone before now.

I find it inconceivable that some people don't have proper beds to sleep in but believe me they don't.

My sentiments exactly, if we'd have starved to death they wouldnt have got them anyway.

I was replying to the posters question saying why can't they pay in cash!

That means finding an extra £216 a year. Believe it or not that is a lot of money for some people. The equivalent of maybe 3 months food!

I don't get what you mean by funding my/peoples debt?

yeah i get your point ss and im sure for a lot of people the charges have been the straw that broke the camels back - but what i mean by funding your/other peoples debt is that if you have taken an unauthorised overdraft with a company and you have agreed that by doing that you will pay x amount then it doesnt matter where that x amount goes whether its in the pockets of the bosses or the pockets of the savers and investors fact is you agreed to pay it and when it came to the crunch you didnt like it. fair play to you for getting it all back mate you know i support you always have - I am just asking a few questions from the other side thats all - someone will have to pay for this wonderful success and it wont be the banks :sad:

that would be my point aswell, i doubt many of these people claiming back charges have had to go to the extent of living on the streets in the cold, people in 3rd world countries have intermitent electricty and none of the luxuries such as the internet that we have, unless you are living in the streets or not working or claiming benefits you can come up with £20, even if it means canceling a mobile phone contract or an internet connection, you could even go without a home phone landline to raise that £20
