this is what he is doing this morning, and may i add with no charge at tsb or aib, are BOI running away with themselves again, 30 years ago they would line you up like cattle in there and when you did get to the counter they would treat you like s**t, looks like were going back down that road, be ok if you had a few 100 grand in your account, more than likely you could skip the cue, like paying customers in the doctors surgery used to go first, have seen signs of this lately again, sorry for been broke and all that...

Did they give a breakdown of the 71.00
Perhaps when the account was closed he was overdrawn a small amount, and charges have been incurred, which they now want cleared.

Sounds a strange charge and a strange figure.

told him to get a breakdown in writing off them today as to what charges are for, sounds funny figure to me as well, it was just a savings acc and onely would have had 100-2 in it, so as for overdrawn they would not have allowed that, will post up reason for charges when i get them. Here we come Aldi yahuuuuu.
