Banking on a Barclays Personal Reserve?

Friday, November 28th, 2008

Stung by a Barclays Personal Reserve?We regularly hear from Wonga customers with stories about unexpected bank and credit card penalty fees. It’s an issue that’s been widely covered in the media and there are loads of websites now set-up to help consumers reclaim questionable charges from the likes of Barclays.

So this won’t be the first blog to offer views on much maligned overdraft fees, but we’ve recently heard from several people who’ve had a lot to say about Barclays Personal Reserve. So we checked it out for ourselves and had to laugh at this thinly veiled attempt to replace unauthorised overdraft fees with… Personal Reserve fees!

Fast loan from WongaOnly a Wonga cash advance is a truly fast loan. ‘Well you would say that’ we hear you cry! But it pays to understand the difference between Wonga and other pretenders to the fast loan throne.
