Attention, Bankers

Hmmmm ...

I don't think that he is acting on his own .... assuming he still wants to keep his job ....

perhaps he has been told what to say and do?

 

I think its a myth that moving house damages your credit rating. The problem is if you are seen to be prone to going off the radar.

You're on a million billion gazillion databases, and the credit reference agencies own lots of them, and have access to lots more. If you move house, spend 6 months but don't go on the electoral roll, and then move again, and decide its not worth declaring your time there, it will look like you tried to disappear for that time, and that's when you get problems.

Also, because of the strange way the credit reference agencies do things, if you move and then you want credit, its important that you ask for a copy of your record (it costs a max of £2). Check that you haven't been erroneously associated with any previous occupiers of the new property, because if you have, your credit worthiness will be partly based on a stranger's record, and worse that that, they will be linked with you too so they'll be able to see some of your profile if they ask for their record.

 

This is all good content. Its the sort of stuff I would have expected to come out once the subject was raised and the reason i've not gone any further on my previous post about reporting Barclays bank to the police is that I will copy this to all the major banks to make them aware that we will not be treated like this anymore.

They can have a look for further threads about their discusting behaviour, but they already know what they have done wrong, hiding behind the mask of corporate non human accountability.

 

Its just been on the news...

Barclays bank has been done by the FSA. I can't claim to understand it, but they've been knowingly fiddling interest rates or something. A few people have been sacked, Barclays has been fined £300 Million, and according to the report, the banks have now exposed themselves to a compo liability running into the millions.

 

Unfortunately, Zig, they just don't care. To the City, those on the outside are non-people. We simply don't exist on the same planet or breathe the same air. And of course it's just had proof of its invincibility, because in the end the country just couldn't allow the financial institutions to fail. So the bankers and their ilk have simply raised two fingers aloft and gone on behaving much as they always have done. The only way of dealing with this sort of thing is to have a proper, unBritish revolution complete with old ladies knitting by a guillotine. But then we'd probably end up with some kind of groovy dictator who'd find other ways of stuffing the rest of us.

 

I really do love your articulation Clara. Very elegant but succinct.
At times like these, I go into yoga mode, lay down and dream of my fields of beautiful colours. I feel powerless to change anything and I don't think these hooray henry's warrant my dispair.
Need a 2 finger smiley please.....

This news has convinced me to tell of the reason for reporting Barclays to the Police.

"Edit for legal reasons"

Enquiry anyone?

 

I hope they did.

 

Sometimes,"records" get lost or fall down the back of the filing cabinet Ziggy.
I was a humble functionary of the Crown and had to sign the Official Secrets Act. I imagine you no longer bank with that B Bank now?
