who's looking for sympathy - I did say I had nothing to do with them. TG

Now some people have a chance to get something back from the banks.
Anyone know how AIB got on with their compo claim against Oracle last year for €84 million?

I am actually in the process of changing my acc to the ulster bank. I notice on my statement all these charges for use of card, internet banking charges etc. The ulster bank has no bank charges. Also Ulster bank has a debit card which you can also used on the internet, the AIB laser card is not recognised by most sites so that means I can get rid of my credit card and only pay tax on one card rather then 2 cards.

Plus the Ulster bank is nearer to me so I can walk to it rather then drive. Every little helps, I never thought I would have to think this way but the recession is biting me.

I've never had a problem with AIB. UB's computers seem a bit iffy though.

Its fixed now.

I never had a problem with AIB either but right now for me UB is a better deal.
I have to change my direct debits, but I had to do that a few times when I lost my cards etc. So that is the only inconvenience.

Banks don't ruin people's credit history... they do it themselves.

ScumLord

I've been with AIB since I was a child but looking to change, there seems to be a lot of dodgy dealings going on at AIB and their DC is useless. Was in the UK yesterday and couldn't pay for anything with it. Just keep forgetting to get around to it.

I don't think anybody's credit rating will be affected by the Ulster Bank debacle.

Erm ... no?

Unless you have a case in point to prove that they have.

sorry but in this case it was the bank. :rolleyes:

Agree; awful bunch of scum running that place. Deserved nothing from us and yet got an over inflated bailout anyway.

Im not being charged due to student account, but will be going to UB as soon as they start me with petty charges.

When their CEO and lots of the bondholders are profiting from the bailouts, it shows how god damn flawed our system is and how corrupt our government is.

Cowards and cheats, the lot of them.

Ulster Bank will be introducing charges the same as everyone else.

Do you know when??

Ulster Bank announced about 3 months ago that they will be bringing in fees and charges in line with what other banks charge. Not sure if they gave a date, but why wouldn't they??

If every other bank is making money from it, they'd be fools not to.

Lucky you FishyFishy,

Unfortunately my salary is paid from AIB in Morehampton Road and this is the 4th Christmas they have not lodged it. It's supposed to be paid on the 25th of each month so I assume they will use this as an excuse. Are there any AIB staff out there who can explain to me why in this automated age my salary is taken from my employer's account one day and doesn't reach mine (if I'm lucky) until the next day. Where is it in the meantime?

Will be grateful to hear an explanation from someone in the know.

AIB are scum who have outrageous charges now, it's 20 cent for everthing you do with them, they are the same with all banks though, we just have to take it.

Jester252

I have had bank charges in UB. Only opened the account to get the visa debt card. It broke a year ago when in the next day to order one still hasn't arrived. Decide not to deal with them during the mess and because of that I wasn't allowed any compension although I was affected by it.

galwayrush

I have cut my bank use by at least 90%. If i was dependent on them to help run my business i would be closed down by now. I only use them to cash the odd cheque and i can give better discounts to customers who pay me with cash.
