Bank complaints and mortgage sales
Senator Norris recounts difficulties cashing a euro cheque and calls for debate on banks’ treatment of customers and the sale of mortgages to vulture funds.
Yes. I would prefer to lodge a complaint and cash a cheque. I do not want to cash a complaint and lodge a cheque. I got a cheque for €450 for a recording of Anna Livia Plurabelle by Joyce for Deutscher Rundfunk in Berlin. It was a beautiful recording. When I brought the cheque to the bank, not only would they not cash it for me but the staff would not give me the money. Although it was a euro cheque the bank staff told me they had to buy it because it is drawn on a bank in Berlin. They wanted to take €17 from it. I kicked up such hell that a senior staff member whispered to the teller that I should be let off at €10. They are stealing money from us left, right and centre, and they are as arrogant as hell. I wanted to see a manager and I told him that I did not blame him and I had the greatest sympathy for him, as by next Tuesday he would be a machine.

I am sorry. They will not allow a complaint to be sent as they put them into a box. One must write to Mr. Richie Boucher and hope the complaint attracts his attention. Could we have a debate on the banking system? The Government is just as bad. They will not allow people to buy their own mortgages but they are selling them to scumbags of vulture capital funds.
