Quote:Off the topic of gold however (and because I really need to rant about this) I received a letter from my bank today which says that because I went over my agreed overdraft limit (by £6) on December 24th, and didn't put any money into my account until December 29th (Monday after Xmas) they are charging me £123.06.... B******ds. I spent 2 hours arguing with them on the phone but they won't budge. So I told them I was enacting my right to subject access under the Data Protection Act 1998, and wanted copies of all of my statements for the last 6 years. I'm getting in line, taking them to court and joining everybody else who is fighting against their punative charges that only exist to bleed money from the people who have the least amount of it.
Good for you Damien. What bastards! 123.06 pounds is pure extortion. I'm sure the mafia don't charge that much. We have a 'People Before Profit' board here if you want to keep us updated on your adventure in keeping your money from the greedy grasping claws of the bank black hole.
