Walter Starts the Fight Back - Time for the Fans to Boycott the Lloyds Banking Group?

[Frankie 8,148]

Yep, a very worrying article given contacts' contacts....

 

Was feeling quite excited last night about the prospect of a new owner but apprehensive again tonight.

Can someone who isn't a lazy, portly, slightly drunk oaf find out which banks fall under the Lloyd's banner?

 

And since I've had a drink, there's 2 L's in Lloyds. Doing my nut in, all this Loyds.

Lloyds TSB

Halifax

Bank of Scotland

C&G

Clerical Medical

Scottish Widows

Well I got a 2nd student account at Halifax and then they took away the overdraft. I'm still paying that back. Shall I just stop paying it back? :fish:

Well, I do have an account I use for online transactions at BoS. It currently has 67GBP in it...just enough for some porn, but unlikely to bother the high heid yins should I move it! Nevertheless, first chance I get I shall close it. There's no way I'm going to have my money, no matter how little, aiding that lot.

I have a BoS account with a chunk of money in it (wont say how much.....) and have banked with them for 20 years.

 

Anyone know how we could best co-ordinate an effort to have them realise the reasons that we would change our banking relationship ?

 

Would be bloody painful as all my direct debits come out of that account but I am willing to switch banks, even from afar, to make a very, very, very small point to these bassas !

I'm thinking of putting together a template letter for fans to use tomorrow... Then we can post it on the various forums for people to use.

 

There may be something on moneysavingexpert.com that we can use.

 

While it would be annoying to change accounts, the more high net worth people that do so the better. I don't use HBOS etc but I would certainly change mine.

LOL. I only wish I was a high net worth individual and could make a difference. By " a chunk of change" I mean a couple of thousand. That will show those pesky, wascally, bankers.

You'll be high enough for them mate given their own difficulties they face....

Get it into the Nationwide Craig. Probably the most customer friendly bank in the UK!
