Mobile contract is fine. I do have a monthly contract (courtesy of daughter) with unlimited internet access so I an access forums with no limit on data.
Try 3 - that's who I am with for the mobile. Home broadband and home phone is with Sky.
Just incase you didn't know 3 have put a limit on the AYCE data.. it's now 1000GB!
We need a landline at home as husband is there all of the time so it's usefull and my parents don't phone mobiles at all - costs too much money for them.
Well, I just went into my local branch and whilst waiting I heard someone, (who had picked up a leaflet for a basica ccount) be told " they are only for people who have gone bankrupt.
I asked the lady if that was right and told her what I had heard/seen. She asked me not to speculate. And as I was at the counter I was asked by the manager to withdraw all my funds!.
Never mind, I was going to leave them anyway and go back to Barclays. I told him on the way out that having connections in both radio and print from my previous employments he should watch this space. And i've been to the local radio station which is 200 yards up the road from him. (where I volunteer)
Because Others overheard me say that they had announced they were stopping new applications and the manager said I was discrediting the banks good name.
Sorry, I'm going to stand up for the Co-op here. Their policy clearly states that they will NOT be closing accounts for existing customers.
Any bank can choose who they want as a customer and, to be honest, anyone who is bankrupt doesn't have a great deal of choice with who to bank with so personally I would have exercised discretion before slating the bank in front of other customers.
The more I have to do with humans the more I think that the world would be a better place if it was run by animals.
Last IPA payment made on 28th June 2010 and I'm now looking forward to getting married in September 2012 - I'm proof that you can go BR and come out the other side.
Was I slating the bank? The bank that's said in the media that they are stopping accounts to NEW customers who go BR!?
And when an advisor stops someone from getting an account because " They are only for people who go bankrupt" not imply that the account is STILL being offered?
Or did I just hear it all wrong?
I'm going to somewhere 40 miles way tomorrow. I'll go into a co-op branch and ask if I can have the account. They won't know me. See what they say.
In any case they are welcome to keep it. I might have to go to the cashpoint to get my balance with Barclays BUT atleast it's real time. I never did like this 3 day delay. NOR do I like Tesco Cash and the Co-op giving me different amounts on the screen.
Co-op stopping bank accounts for bankrupts.
