WHS

I used to have a Lloyds platinum account. I think it was £12 a month at the time and included travel insurance and mobile insurance and breakdown cover and a bunch of other stuff I didn't use. They ditched one of the worthwhile benefits (can't remember which one) and put it up to £17, justifying it by adding a load more pointless gumpfh so I told 'em to stick it.

Really?

They offer Barclays Premier Banking to anyone stupid enough to pay the fees.

Withdrawal of Barlays Premier Banking

I've been on this since I graduated.

Just got a letter telling me that facility is to be withdrawn as it will only be available to those on £70k per year or more (paid into personal account).

This means no more free overdrafts and various other perks.

Symptom of the credit crunch or am I being too creative with my expenses and not paying myself enough?
