NatWest the bank robber

NatWest the bank robber

This morning I received a letter from the Social Security informing me that my Social Security benefits will change. "From 8 April 2008 your Jobseeker's Allowance will be £60.50 a week".

This is good news.

Especially as the letter states: "This payment of Jobseeker's Allowance is based on the amount the law says you need to live on".

Therefore, there is no lawful authority for NatWest to deduct £28.00 on the basis of a "Maintenance Charge" on 31 January 2008. And because there was only £5 and a few pence in my account, the balance now registers -£22 something overdrawn, which means at the start of next month I will be charged another £28.

It is pointless and confusing for the government and law to say one thing and NatWest to say another.
