I have made a SARS request and have all information to hand except the earning criteria which had to be met to qualify for this account. There seems to be some difficulty on the Bank's part in getting the info for me!

Hello I am looking for some specific information regarding the Clydesdale bank's packaged account, which in the year 2000 was called their Principal Account. Does anyone know what the earning criteria was for being considered for this account? I am pretty sure in 2000 it was 50K singular OR 75K joint earnings to be eligible. Of course, true to form, Clydesdale bank tell me that it was so long ago that they cannot get that info for me!! Did anyone else have this account and what was their experience? Cheers

Hi tony http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?384453-Clydesdale-bank-preference-account-fees-reclaiming&p=4962977#post4962977 I had a Principal Account from 2000 to 2008 when it was abruptly ended by the bank. My experiences sound very similar to yours. I too had a £15,000 overdraft facility and was being charged £50 per month for services on the account. I am currently pursuing the bank on several issues, however they cannot give me any info about the earning threshold that was required to qualify for the account, or who signed the papers to authorise the opening of the account. I would be interested to hear from you to compare notes. Regards Steve
