In the interests of saving money, I contact 02 to change over to pay as you go since I don't use my mobile so much now. Even though they told me previously that I was on the lowest monthly tariff (?17), to persuade me to stay on a monthly contract they halved my monthly charge to ?8.50 and gave me ?50 credit on my account. Worth a phone call I would say!

I'm with Vodafone, have been for 7 years now - went into a store a couple of weekends ago just to have a look at phones - left with a ?40 credit off my next bill and a brand new whizzy phone that does all sorts of things I don't need (but it's fun). Didn't change my contract as I'm happy with it (?17 a month for 125 any time any network calls, which is plenty for me, and unlimited texts). It's definitely worth calling them or popping into a branch!
Just saw that my bank were going to charge me 125 bloody quid at the end of this month! Now I expected, and even accepted some charge this month, but not that. I remembered this thread and called my bank, told them I was planning to close my account and look elsewhere... I was put on hold for 5 seconds before they came back and said they'd reduce it by ?75 Not bad for a 5 minute phone call! :)-D

Sorry, just seen that. It was HSBC, been with them since it was Midlands, and have never bothered changing. Have never opened other accounts with them though.


Did get ?2k charges back from them last year though, dated back to my student days, and the wild couple of years following!


LadyG, I shall indeed get you a large glass of vino!

    • It does seem a common business strategy these days. River Island has just announced a similar restructuring: closing 33 shops and demanding that the landlords of a further 71 locations take a haircut. 
    • If anyone has any spare tickets for Crystal Palace on Sunday let me know!
    • The tenant's business has already failed. If the landlord doesn't accept it, they can have a vacant property, stand in the queue of creditors, and get paid little or nothing. It's a gamble that the restructuring will work and the tenant will start paying rent again. Commercial properties are often hard to let. 🤷
    • An inquiry will put a huge amount of time and resource into looking at what happened in the past and why it happened and who was responsible and, in a year or two maybe more, a report will be produced and actions may or may not be taken, some of those responsible for bad decisions will already have resigned and moved on.   Given that we now already understand some of the issues that allowed this awful behaviour to continue unchallenged, my concern is less about whether there is an inquiry to examine what happened in the past but about what is being done right now to protect girls and young women from predatory and exploitative men in whatever race or identity they come in. Inquiries examine the past but don't necessarily solve problems and they certainly don't come up with conclusions quickly which is why they can often feel hollow.  I'd rather see perpetrators and those that let the perpetrators act with impunity, actually being prosecuted and an inquiry won't do that.  I suspect that's why some MPs voted against an inquiry. But do feel free to give me examples of inquiries that really made a difference and actually changed things in a timely and effective way.
