Burn the Banks? Here's how to get your own back!

    Time to rebel - the latest interest rate hikes from PermanentTSB & Ulster Bank are the straw that broke the camels back. Let's hit them where it hurts - in their profits!

    Doesn't matter whether the hikes affect you or not - its the principal here. If we just roll over and let them do it the other banks will feel they can follow their lead.

    So - if you have a savings account in Permanent TSB or Ulster Bank - take your money out and put it in the Post Office, the Credit Union, and on-line bank - anywhere but in an Irish Bank!!!

    And if you have a credit card - change it to MBNA, Tesco again anywhere except and Irish Bank. And make sure you tell them why you're doing it.

    Let them know they've screwed us all for long enough and now we're drawing a line in the sand.

    Up the rebellion - pass the word on!

    SCREW THE BANKS, WHO ARE SCREWING YOU!:mad:

    Ulster Bank is owned by Royal Bank of Scotland.
    Wouldn't consider it an Irish bank, HQ is in Belfast

    I was a few days late paying them last month & the amount of phonecalls I got was fcuking ridiculous. Keep in mind that anytime there's anything on the card it's usually cleared pronto & some fcuking thick accented prick rings me up demanding to know why payment hadn't been made. I could barely understand a word he was saying so the more I asked him to repeat himself the more he whispered into the phone.
    That made me mad :mad::mad::mad:

    Good luck to you if you think anybody is going to follow you in your protest. The Irish love rolling around in abuse, doing nothing about it but moan. Move to iceland or greece where the citizens do something productive as a whole.

    I moved my savings to Rabobank i think in 2008. Never trust an Irish bank considering they all bankrupted themselves over the last few years.

    On PTSB, I was once asked for a 'financial review'(its quite common with them on the most trivial matter') a simple blunt no aka feck right off suffices.

    This is a bit like saying Stalin was better than Hitler.

    MBNA are a truly evil organisation. Banking globalisation at its very worst.

    Do some research on them on this forum and some Googling of this organisation and it's parent company the Bank of America.

    At least RaboBank has some ethics.

    The irish government effectively owns the irish banks, so the best thing to do if you have savings is to move them to a uk or foreign based bank .

    Next thing is the irish government will be insisting the banks write have their literature in the irish bl##dy language, like the rest of the semi states + government, and the next thing is there will be a run on them + they will go bust. Do not trust the Irish government. They have changed rules + shafted too many people ; the little section 23 investor (who bought a buy-to-let for his pension) last week.

    Such is the way things are here.

    Irish Language is the last 'sacred cow' to be demolished here.

    See the Shinners squeal when that happens.:D
