A new hatred of Barclays.

Sorry everyone, Just need to let off a little steam.

I recieved a letter this morning from Barclays telling me that I have recieved a £30 charge for going overdrawn on my current account.

I checked the account online and found out that I had gone £5.48p overdrawn on 10th April. I have no overdraft limit, but do have a £5 bufferzone. I also noticed that I got paid on the 11th which was the day that they took the charge out, and according to my online banking, the charge was taken after the wages went in.

I am really !!!!ed off that being over my limit by 48p for less than 24 hours has cost me £30, and when I phoned Barclays they basically said 'tough, those are the rules'.


Sorry, its just really annoyed me!
