| Re: Don't Pay to Listen to Abbey's music- Use Freephone.... I've not paid to telephone Abbey for over 2 years using these numbers...works a treat, gets you often through to a UK office and they can put me on hold as long as they like  |

| | Gold Account Customer | Re: Don't Pay to Listen to Abbey's music- Use Freephone.... Just wanted to add that there's a great web-site called Say No to 0870 that gives a whole host of freephone numbers and land lines for all sorts of companies, including utilities suppliers and banks.
Unbeknown to many, there is a constant battle on the part of companies to shut down these alternative numbers once they become common knowledge. They always have to provide some "no-cost" alternative lines for when they are asking you to call back in cases like fraud etc., but as it's a web-site the public can contribute to, we're always one step ahead.
I always use it and it must have saved me a fortune over the years. |

| Re: Don't Pay to Listen to Abbey's music- Use Freephone.... It was moi that told say No website about this  I just want to maximise the karma the Abbey deserve for all they do to customers over their charges and attitude to them...If they change it so be it - we'll find another cos they always have one when they want to sell you something.
It's just my version of ' Trite Law ' trite being the appropriate word !
Being nasty always has a sweet way of attracting pay back, it may not come at the time they were nasty, but it will linger for years when it arrives - I've arrived 0800 731 7774

| | Platinum Account Customer | Re: Don't Pay to Listen to Abbey's music- Use Freephone.... Yes, they ***d me off this afternoon as well!!! So will be phoning them again on this number to ensure they've done what they promised they would!! Taking my money, paying it out on a standing order that's not due to go out for at least 2 weeks being the case!! Nah, never Abbey's fault, though is it? Customer must have phoned up, altered it ... yes, they even said that to me on the phone!! Funny thing is, though, I've not spoken to them by phone for over a week! So much for record keeping! Or just another case of another big company getting away with not admitting to their own errors.
So, gonna phone these numbers right now! Does my money feel safe, do I feel confident they are looking after my account with at least basic measures? Nope!

| Re: Don't Pay to Listen to Abbey's music- Use Freephone.... Got to keep on Bumping:
Abbey tried to charge me £25 this month for going 2p -- 2P  over a nil balance. Can't keep doing this Abbey and that was only because they charged me 11p interest on my last months allegedly unlawful overdraft charge.
Tough! - come on folks keep those calls on the freephone number going, we have to cost them more and more and more......and they even try to make us pay to listen to how clever they were at winning a prize for best bank 
Getting to sound more like the Credit Industry every day 0800 731 7774
