ORIGINAL POST.....

 

Can't wait to see this, thought i'd post a thread for everyone to leave their comments.

 

Remember hearing a number of years back a Nat West employee stating that the cost to the banks for a default ran into pence. We'll just have to wait and see what the program has turned up.

I've certainly posted about this on the works intranet so everyone knows it's on!!!!

[MilkTrayMan]

The trailer on the mid-day news showed clips about Barclays Bank employees encouraging Customers to open accounts that had to be paid for monthly.

When the charges were noticed, at a later, date by the Customers, the Barclays Bank employees were feigning innocence.

Apparently, the management of Barclays Bank were pressing its Frontline Staff to push these accounts, regardlessly of their suitability for each individual Customer.

A Senior Barclays Bank Spokesperson, of course, denied all knowledge of these controversial practices!!!

Have just seen it on News 24.

 

People also being charged a monthly account fee when they haven't even requested that be done.

 

Remember reading someone having a similar occurance, being charged £14 per month when he and his wife opened accounts - at the time they weren't notified of the charge.

Barclays are looking particularly bad, their staff admitting it costs them £1.50 - £2.00 maximum for a default.

 

Lots of excuses coming from Barlcays PR people.

[angela1606]

[rustyboxx]

Wow, what an awesome programme.

 

Barclays sure got a kick in the nads there. Nice to see it was with the help of a CAG steel toe cap boot :grin:

[cheesenpickle]

Well Glad I Do Not Work In Barclays, The Amount Of Calls They Will Recieve Tomorrow..........

[121o121]

Barclays are looking particularly bad, their staff admitting it costs them £1.50 - £2.00 maximum for a default.

 

That should be in the library like Peter McNamaras interview.

[trickytrish]

wow brilliant programme well done to CAG too

[Enron]

Certainly handy for those claiming against Barclays, and maybe good as an example of bank practices for those claiming against other institutions.

[angela1606]

hey was the natweststaffmember our very own natweststaffmember if wtg

[121o121]

Out of the whole program, it was the way that pensioner was dealt with that got to me most.

[Wolfy]

I imagine there are a few brown trousers at Barclays right now. I'd love to know how many accounts they loose over the next week or so. Would be very interested to know who the whistleblower from Yorkshire bank was who had proof how much each transaction cost. I think she must have been from here somewhere.

[121o121]

hey was the natweststaffmember our very own natweststaffmember if wtg

 

Reckon so, it was in the CAG chat room.

[progenic7]

[AppleCrumble]

well done cag-gers involved :D Was I right in seeing some credited as special consultants??

[cheesenpickle]

Well I Am Claiming From Barclays And There Pals The Woolwich. Oh And Not Forgeting Monument Run By Barclays. Not Sure There Arguments Are Going To Be Very Strong...........

[mazza1970]

About 6 years ago, I worked in a call centre for Barclays, I didn't go on the telephones, I did mostly the clerical side, but I saw the pressure that everyone was under trying to get sales, glad I didn't stay there long, and not long after I left, the team I worked with left as well as they couldn't cope with the pressure they were getting of managers.

(edit)

 

Pure and simple, in my mind.

 

'Whistleblower' found a bank employee willing to illegally move £2000.

 

The banks unlawfully move £3.5 billion per year themselves.

 

That's £3,500,000,000.00 in old money.

(edit)

 

I'm so glad we have so many rights ...

 

God bless this site.

[trying to save]
