    Why are charges and tax taken out of the years ISA allowance? Why can't they be paid separately? You get a set amount of allowance each year and you can't get it back. It is so wrong that some of that allowance gets stolen!

    Can you elaborate on what charges and taxes are taken out of the years ISA allowance? What gets stolen, by whom?

    Just take a look on the forum, how can I avoid this debt culture
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.

    Which forum / sub-forum?

    And how would you suggest a bank regulator would make banks to address the issues on said forums?

    I have no faith in any organisation such as this "NEW" FSA, they do naff all for the consumer. We need loans and credit cards to have an interest rate that they cannot go above, if they want the business they should compete downwards from that point, I suggest 20% max on cards, 15% max on loans 5% max on mortgages (banks competing downwards) repayment only, keep it simple, stop ripping folk off, lock up the bankers who screwed everyone, grow a pair, be realistic, stop lying, stop cheating, ring fence casino banking and high street "public" banking, pay a decent interest rate, reduce shareholder dividends, stop being so short term profit driven, just be nice, it's not difficult.

    Kiss goodbye to being able to afford a mortgage or credit card or anything like that if you have a poor credit rating.
