First Direct Bank - Rip Off Charges

Just when you thought that Banks had got the message. Well they haven't , that is First Direct hasn't. Remember when there was all that controversy about overdraft charges and the realisation that the Bank's administrative charge for unauthorised overdraft charges was not realistic in respect of the work they have to do to deal with it. Do you remember that the realistic figure quoted was about £12.00.

Well let me tell you, I went overdrawn by mistake for £1.93 for only a matter of hours and they charged me £25.00. So where is the £12.00 charge then ? Rip Off? You better believe it. I feel so sorry for these poor banks, times must be so hard for them . . . Not !

Snouts and troughs comes to mind.
