    So the Permanent TSB are planning to up their Variable Mortgage rates by 0.5% in the next few days. This will put up to €60 per month on a mortgage of €250,000. Is this justified. After all the consumer has put up €54 billion to bail out these banks. I think it is time that the Irish Home Owners, Irish Savers started to dictate to the banks how things should be. Firstly we should make it known that this increase will not be tolerated. There are a number of ways of doing this.

    1. Take to the streets in Protest! (Not just once but until it is agreed that there will be no interest rate increase)
    2. Withdraw any savings in the particular banks that increase rates!
    3. Close down all standing orders/direct debits with your banks and insist on a lodgment slip from anybody who requires a direct debit. (After all if your direct debit is not paid the bank happily take up to €10.00 from your account for the inconvenience of there being no money there). Great money if you can get it.
    4. Remember that a bank is only a LIMITED COMPANY so your money is probably just as safe in a hole in the floor than in the bank at present.
    5. Demand that you should not have to queue any more.

    It is time that we rose to the challenge of these greedy bankers and brought them back to reality. After All every business needs customers. And at the end of the day YOU are the banks customer. So why should they not treat you with some respect instead of contempt!

    RISE UP AND FIGHT THE INCREASES!
