Rather Screwed by Bank, anything I can do?

    Your concern and cross referencing posts is awfully kind, sincere thanks.

    Credit file checked ages ago, naturally. I can comfortably pay several years rent in advance anyway, should I decide to stay in this wonderful warm and caring place, and not return to paradise. Such responses have been quite helpful in that regard, so many thanks.

    Now, y'all enjoy saving your pennies, and your ridiculous cost of living, wallowing in debt and abusive government, and I shall set aside any silly romantic / nostalgic notions I had that UK had anything at all to offer, pull myself together, reopen my business, get the hell out of this sheet hole, and return to a place with a flourishing economy in the sun. As opposed to a withering economy in a freezing cold cesspool of a haggard !!!!! of a country.

    I shall miss you bitter, penny scraping bunch, I really shall ;) Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.

    1. You are allowed to call them Barclays.

    2. Call them. Talk to them. Complain if you make no progress. Escalate to the Financial Ombudsman (FOS) if needed. Expect it all to take many weeks.

    You're welcome.

    It does help people to give correct and valuable advice if you include all the relevant facts. For example, if you mentioned about having the resources to "pay several years rent in advance anyway" in the other thread then people might have been able to give you some pertinent advice there as well.

    Shame the collections agency didn't have the foresight to get a CCJ registered.
  • It's all just made up nonsense by someone with no life. A bit tragic really.

    If it's no problem to pay 10 years rent upfront, why not just pay the bill and be done with it?
