Automated phone calls telling me that I haven't taken up the governments offer of a free boiler when I am not entitled to one anyway. And PPI calls too.

No no, they have checked their records and you are definitely entitled to one! Doesn't matter if you lived on the moon, they'd still try it on!

Halifax tried this on us. In hindsight it wasn't a bad deal & I may change my Nationwide account to one of these.

There is a monthly fee to pay, but the interest is better



Not good
That'll be the Halifax ultimate reward account £10 after your £5 reward back and it gives you a small discount on contents insurance l. Gives you mobile phone insurance etc and better rates for taking money out abroad. There are some more but they are a few benefits I make use of so I get my £10 back effectively on what I get out of it.

Ed Balls, nuff said.

Labour are headline grabbing again, "we need to balance the books" so their MP's will take a 5% pay cut if they get in power, oh, that will help with a £90 billion deficit (which they created), mugs
