About time. Mrs H was sold a Coop Premium account. She doesn't have a car and the Breakdown cover only applies to the account holder, she has no credit cards and her mobile is a 20 quid PAYG, and we don't take foreign holidays. Cost for sod all use £12.50 pm.

If It were me I would have told them to stuff years ago. But as Mrs H has had the account for @ 30 years she "wouldn't like to upset them"

Not my account so I can do sod all even though I have told her she's being ripped off.
