Bank statement this morning! Seems I overdrew on my account during November, by a few pounds. An honest mistake. I've been charged £90, yes £90 for this misdemeanor. Feel like telling the Royal Bank where to stuff their account, but the other guys are just as bad! To lose £90 just before Christmas and just before going to The Gambia is a disaster. It may mean I'll be a trifle overdrawn this month... so... another £90? No wonder these guys make so much money every second.

I'd second that - HBOS charged me £25 when my Mastercard payment came through a day late (and we're talking electronic transfer here, not pigeon post). I was so mad that I rang them up and an apologetic woman said she'd see what she could do. They still charged me, but only £12. Worth a try - good luck!

Day light robbery, Grrrrrrrrrrrr
There was something in the news last week about that, Fr.
my friend works in a bank and sometimes if you speak nicely to them they drop the charge,cos they can only charge you what it costs them.
