#Padkiss In 2010 When I realised we weren't getting our tracker back, having gone to the branch to complain, written to the bank to complain, called the bank to complain, each time being told no you're not entitled to a tracker we don't do them any more, go away you silly little man you should have thought before fixing - I gave up. Probably like most others and exactly like they knew we would. If you're stuck for a few quid you certainly won't be heading down to the high court. I knew as one person I had no chance.
Then I met Padraic and he gave me some hope. It wasn't just me it was lots of people who had been fobbed off. He said this could take some time, god knows he was right.
Fresh hope in December 2016. It's all going be sorted before Christmas. Oh actually maybe March, oops probably September. Oh look this is really difficult it takes time. Lots of time. And we have to fatten ourselves up for a big shares sale, and close some branches, we're really busy.
Last week while the review dragged on I ran out of money again and I had to go cap in hand to the bank again looking for my payments to be reduced.... come on guys I think I might get my tracker back from you, maybe you would be good enough to help me out in the mean time? I felt like Oliver asking for more....
It's definitely time that all of us silly little customers get together and cause a stink. There are between 10 and 20 thousand, possibly more affected customers. That's a lot of votes. That's a lot of wages that can paid to a credit union instead of a bank. Everyone of us customers has friends and family that can help make our voice heard. This is a scandal of epic proportions that in any other country would have already involved the law.
I would encourage everyone to attend any meetings that Padraic organises. It's time the Consumers Voice is heard.
