HSBC...
I hate them. I have banked with them since 1996 when I opened my first adult account but in the past year they have screwed me firmly in the anus with a piece of sheer genius.

The cashpoint machines around the country that are owned by other banks used to tell me if I was about to shove myself into massively overdrawn moments. If I had £9.99 in my account then it wouldn't let me take out a tenner. Simple maths really and the same at every cash point I ever have used. My nearest to work is Lloyds so I use them...

... up until the start of this year when I went overdrawn twice in two months to the tune of a couple of hundred quid. I know it was my fault for not checking my balance but when you have used a machine for a decade and a half you don't realise things may have changed.

So I was charged £300 quid in two amounts (which I managed to moan them into reducing to £75, if you whinge at the fuckwitted little cunts then they back down, just keep on)...

...when I enquired as to why the machines no longer told me I was going to be bounced into the red the dopey bint in HSBC said "We changed the machines so only ours tell you if you are taking out too much money. We did it to help our customers." HOW EXACTLY.? By raping me because you changed the rules and didn't inform anybody.?

Cunts. All of them. And when their fucking bank goes down the toilet because they all make wildly stupid gambles with your money then the bloody Government saves them and helps them out. The poor cunts at Woolworths etc got nothing but fatbastard bankers get money out of us hand over fist. When I clear my overdraft I am off.

Oh and Barclays can fuck off too.

I do agree
that Lloyds charges are a crock of shit. And I work for the beggars!
