I find myself in a rare situation - I don't earn much and don't have much in the way of savings, but I want the best for what I do have. However, I hate the way banks and building societies treat their customers and don't trust any of them. I have accounts with Nationwide and the Co-operative bank, and now I have ?3,000 to invest. I don't have a mortgage (own my flat). What should I do. I don't see I'll need it (the ?3,000) for at least 12 months. What would you do. Discuss! And thanks for advice. I've put this in Lounge because I hope to read a discussion and read people's experiences of how banks treat you.
