Claim Bank Charges Back - Bad News for Bank Staff!

Whilst claimants are obviously very upset about the new bank charge situation, with bank charge claims being put on hold, they are not the only people losing out!

With the banks being flooded with literaly hundreds of thousands of claims, many of the banks took on extra staff to process the claims.

As these claims are being put on hold for the time being, with no claims being dealt with for at least the coming months, many of the staff who process these claims are no longer required. Only a skeleton staff will be kept on to keep a log of new claims being filed.

As a result, there has already been talks within the banks about the fate of these staff, with many being laid off and made redundant. However, as many of these staff have only been with the bank for a short time, and less than the 2 year period at which they gain their rights, they will not be entitled to redundancy pay.

Obviously, this is going to have serious effects for a large number of people employed in the banking industry, as they will be losing their livelihoods, and it will obviously have a negative effect on their household income.

So whilst it may be upsetting that your claim will now be put on hold, spare a thought for the bank staff who will be losing much more!

Whilst many people are against the major banks, the staff themselves are not responsible for the large bank charges imposed. In the end it is the people at the higher levels who set the amount for bank charges, and you can be sure that these people will not suffer as a result of the new situation. It's the ordinary bank workers, people like you and me, who are going to lose out in a major way. Like us, many of the staff would not have known that this situation was on its way, so it must be as much of a shock to them as it was to us.

I would like to wish the bank staff affected the best of luck for the future, and hope that it does not cause them too many problems.
