Please satify my curiosity with this........mega brainwave moment.

Would this be a perfect opportunity for the government or a multi-gazzilionaire to open up some sort of "super-bank" offering rewards to new customers and a years interest-free stuff and zero bank charges etc and capitalize on the other banks misfortune.

Any Thoughts??

MSE God, your thoughts would be much appreciated

in a kind of 'lets see how many banks we can fold before next tax year' way?

Yeah pretty much,

I thought Natwest were pretty cool until i found out about the reclaim thing.

Now i'd love to see them crushed, in fact i'd pee myself with laughter.

My current reclaim sum is £3505 BTW

i doubt that will happen, but they will get the money back in the long run mate

Hope so mate,

Looking for every penny i can get at the moment.
Looking to sell me car too just for an extra couple of quid.

I was offered a job today driving "escorts" to "clients" for a few extra bucks and even thats sounding appealing at the mo.

see point 483 - bit grim, unlikely, but possible

Ok, i totally agree with what you say mate. In your personal opinion, had had you make 3 changes in your financial life, what changes would your make.

1) I would have started stoozing sooner
2) Bought a house sooner
3) & in my younger days had a big reminder put up that said something like "debit cards are cash too"

At 23 years young, financially the only acheivements that i've made a success of is running up debts and struggling to get a head-start on them.

My brother is a high-flying affiliate of the ACCA (accountant) and he has just turned down a partnership in his firm (personal reasons) and i sometimes think that i was the runt in the family. But still, i'm very proud of him and i hope some of his life accumen rubs off on me and i get what i want.
