  • lloyds lies, unfair treatments and bullying

    @font-face { font-family: "Times"; }@font-face { font-family: "Cambria"; }p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal { margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman"; }div.Section1 { page: Section1; } hi everybody, I am new with leagalbeaglesand I believe I have a very interesting case in my hands.
    basically I just found out that Lloyds been misleading me, lying to me and pushed me into a loan agreement I have not supposed to have in a first place.
    when I started to bank with lloyds I opened a silver account as I have been told there are only 3options to open an account (silver, gold and platinum) last week I found out there is an option of a current account, but because they have not told me this information before, I have been charged 8£/month for having the card even known I have not used 1benefit out of the card -made me go overdrawn several times.

    when I have tried to changed my account into student account they canceled my application as I have been overdrawn once in the previous 3month and because I have been in the country only 2years. they told me that if I have got money problems instead of a student account I should take a loan worth 5k. but I refused and walked away.

    when the bank realized I had student loan, bursary and even my salary coming into my account they sent me a letter offering the 5k instead of student account once again, but when I went in to ask about the loan I have been told I am not eligible for anything.

    In the last 5 months however LLoyds charged me over 1000£ for being overdrawn when the causes of going over my limit were the constantly growing overdraft charges.

    this lovely bank pressured me into taking a loan with them and they told me through the phone 'they will be no more charges added to this account' . now its November and because of the overdraft charges I am in debt again. basically they started charging me again which sent me overdrawn and I cannot pay the agreed amount including overdraft charges as I am still a student and work still only part time.

    on top of that I am going to be made redundant on the end of this month. I feel I have been robbed, mistreated, lied to and bullied into a corner where is no way out.

    I had a meeting with the branch manager but when I arrived the receptionist told me the manager is very sorry but he had to go somewhere and was unable to meet me, therefore I had to talk to a person from the reception.

    as I am extremely determined to get all my money back I will appreciate any help from you. also would like to teach lloyds a valuable lesson as I ve seen they are robbing everybody who is opening an account with them.

    thank you

    Re: lloyds lies, unfair treatments and bullying

    One thing I would recommend you do first thing tomorrow is go and open another current account with a bank that does not charge fees. If you have any money in your Lloyds account, transfer it into this one before tackling them.

    From what you say you should have a strong case - the immediate difficulty I can see is that there will be no written record of you not being offered a straightforward current account intially.

    Perhaps a good first step after that would be to fill in an IE sheet (good template on this site) and post it up for us to look at. Once that is finalized, send it together with the letter requesting them to freeze all charges and interest as it is only making your hardship worse (again there is a good template letter on here).

    Wait for their response and come back to us. Remember to post the IE sheet though - it's amazing what you forget, so having other people look at it is really useful (mine went from being in credit to £169 overspent every month due to posting on here!)

    Good luck,

    David
