Aah, sweet financial choice

I'm feeling pretty good tonight. I've finally told my bank where to stick it after them starting to take the ****.

After 3 years of 20+% pay rises i.e. more money in my accounts, they reduced my credit card limit, asked for the overdraft back and started offering me loans at 16% APR (I already had one with them at 6.something) so I've voted with my feet:

Current Account moved to A+L Premier Account (6.5% interest)
Credit Card moved to Virgin (0% bal transfer for 13 months)
Loan moved to Moneyback Bank (6.3%)

**** you Mr Lloyd and Mr TSB!

I did a spring clean of all my finances two months ago.

Shifted a loan, changed both mortgages and again switched to a 0% on a credit card after the previoius 0% ran out.

They rely on you being lazy to make the cash.

People who use Barclaycard and keep balances on them are mad!
