Hi all -- who gets "Done by Banks " the worst now
Please Mods -- not intended to be a Political argument so assuming people are reasonable in their responses maybe you can let this thread run for a little while since it affects lots of us.
I've been working in many many countries over the years and it seems to me the more money in various countries Banks get paid to save their own skins the worse and more contempt they have for ordinary customers.
My worst experience BY far with banks is in the UK.
For example You really have to pay your bills on time -- and even when you've paid them "On line" you get a £5 late payment bill because these same banks that get billions from "Gordon Clown" say it takes 4 days (YES 4 Days) to transfer an online payment to the Internet company / Energy company etc - even though at the time of payment the money is immediatey taken out of your bank account -- so where is that money during the 3 / 4 days it's gone from your account .
Now computers presumably can transfer "X" amount of EUR / GBP / Roubles etc from account "A" to account "B" with a simple mouse click so why does it take so long for me to get an online payment into a UK energy / Internet provider. I can understand maybe an hour or two to check on "Money Laundering" but if I was a "money Launderer" would I really be bothered with £84.27p type of bills,
Does the same sort of B/S happen in France / Germany / US etc.
