Re: Bank of America Chester.

Interesting read. Can agree with many comments made in there. ONe I am suprised not to see though, with the complaints about the company and its attitudes - above every single door, in every MBNA building is the phrase "Think of yourself as a customer" ...... maybe they should start.

I have no pity for the MBNA staff, who treated the customers despicably.
Soon, many will experience exactly what those MBNA customers had to contend with!

Re: Bank of America Chester.

In many ways I have to feel sympathy for any one losing their job/employment if that in the end proves to be the case. However is this not a classic example of what is wrong with our economy? These were not "REAL" jobs in the first place. Perhaps we should all be looking at more fundamental issues within our economy and go back more to basics rather than this reliance all the time on this deception we have been led to believe in?

The financial sector is a roulette table in a casino run for and by the few. It is time for this to be sidelined more and more and get back to doing the things we do best. We are the very best designers, engineers and agriculturists in the world and it would not take an awful lot for that intrinsic talent that we all have to be reawakened.

MBNA, thought that the streets of London and Dublin were paved with Gold, due to the lack of Regulation.

What goes around comes around springs to mind, however what garlok was saying I agree with I would not wish anyone to lose there job even though they have caused me and my family great upset.

I agree with garlok though in that our great skills and industry is being eroded by the temporary quick buck to be made in the financial sicktor sector.

It is not easy to understand how they might have reached that conclusion, as it is a criminal offence in Ireland to seek payment of unenforceable or statute-barred debts.

Section 49 of the Consumer Credit Act, 1995 forbids any attempt to pursue an unenforcible agreement.

Well said. Usually I'd not agree with people losing jobs etc, but when it's a case of "see how you like it" then yea, why not?

Thing is MBNA were predatory in their harassment of thousands of consumers, such examples include Keith Harrison - now I do not know him (well I kinda do) but I bet he won't have much sympathy for the staff at MBNA - they hounded and systematically tried to grind him and his family into the ground - please guys, lets not forget that!

MBNA & their staff deserve everything they get - and some!

As they did with me even at court, however I did not use harassment in my defence as Harrison did had I of done I'm sure the judgement would have been different.

Still that's one in book should there ever be a next time.

I eagerly look forward to those turds at RBS and Triton <spit> getting their own comeuppance.

Not all of them. There are a few (admittedly not many) good people there.

Work by averages mate, not all customers are debtors and thus wouldn't have been treated like shit.

Point I am making is, as a brand they are rotten to the core and all brands work from the ground up. Ergo the staff, in whatever capacity, have made MBNA the way they are today. I guarantee you the Chief Exec didn't say "Ring Mr Harrison 200 times today" - that was the clowns that work in collections, so them, their manager and the head of plus director of that unit are ALL equally responsible.

I always refer back to the whistleblower that got a job with Lowell and refused to do what the scripts suggested (ie bully and intimidate people) and her TL was shouting at her and calling the customer all sorts of names - so now, for instance, when that ex MBNA staff goes for JSA I hope the JC+ staff with an MBNA account (in arrears) delay their claim and/or refuse it and cause a 26 week pending delay

Bitter? me? Never

Fair point, but as I say, there a few good people there, everybody doesnt work in collections, but many in other departments have the mentality of "you need to starve and pay us"

And to be fair to some, they dont look at things or research, they are just sheep who believe everything they are told. If they are told it is fine/fair/legal they believe it all. But they are just naive (or stupid in some cases) and put complete trust in their colleagues.

Have to agree that their collections policies are abhorrent though, and that they are an awful company (and worse since BoA came in).
