Permanent TSB today announced 0.5% hike in mortgage rates How the fcuk can they do this now of all times, Then lenihan says he wont intervent with the hike Shower of fcukers, the lot of them are in bed together Thats an extra €132 per month onto my mortgage
Unreal mate get onto your local TD it's a fcking crime that these lads are been bailed out and get away with it. It's there fault we are the way we are! If these lads do it and get away with it won't be long before the rest follow suit
For once I agree with Enda Kenny, Cowan should ring us PTSB and just say 'Its not happening'. Its taxpayers money that bailed them out and is guaranteing them and all the banks including PTSB customers and what do they get in return from PTSB? One up the a$$!
Met an aul lad on holiday from Wales in the pub the other day. He was asking me what I think of the way things are. He kept harking back that people are just accepting things these days and that people just dont bother making a stand against this sort of thing. I thought it was a good point...after 8 pints.
you must have a whopper mortgage el nino?!!with aib + half my mortgage is standard variable so fingers crossed they dont follow!
left ptsb a year ago, now work for a different bank one of the reasons i heard for this was that because ptsb rely so heavily on funding from the international market that the interest rates they are paying are higher than the variable rate that is currently been charge to its customers...so in turn its loosing money on its variable rates loans at the minute... absolute disgrace that some of their staff got spat at today in the branches, once again its the people at the front line who take all the abuse instead of the people who make these decisions
Would have to agree. I'm awful when it comes to the financial markets etc and no problem admitting it. But I know from a family friend that in France if they are unhappy about something then they take to the streets and make it known. I'd admire their balls for making a stand. We seem to just accept whats coming and then bitch about it after.
wankers the lot of them, if TSB do this they'll all do it, money hungery fcukers the lot of them, gangsters in suits.
My 3 year fixed term is up next feb.I was hoping that the mortgage might come down a bit then but i won't be holding out too much hope now.
disgraceful.Banks all over the world have been bailed out and this is how they treat us. Bank of America and City Bank have announced profts of 7billion dollars.This is a joke of a situation where people wont do a fcuking thing about bar ring Joe Duffy FF dont give a fcuk,the bankers and developers got them where they are,follow the money trail of donations and you can see why Lenihan and FF wont do anything. When Jack O Connor and Enda Kenny are both on the same page its then you know its a serious situation
Ah its not massive but its not small either (375k) If ptsb go ahead with it all other banks will follow suit, i heard their reasons about them losing money on their variable rate loans and the fact that its dearer to borrow money now but for fcuksake now is not the time to do this, it will have a negative effect on the economy its taking more money off the ordinary joe, If every ptsb mortgage holder missed their next mortgage payment they might then think different and realise that they just cant ride roughshod over people. As for the government, they propose a cut in social welfare and explained that they could do this due to the fall in the cost of living and tumbling interest rates then when a hike is mentioned lenihan and his pals go missing, well fcuk them all im sick of the greed in the upper echelons of this country causing stress and struggle on the ordinary people of the country Rant over
Not at you personally obviously, but these ****ers make me sick!. Losing money are they? Well thats life isn't it! Tough shit!. These things happen in business. But no the greedy ****ers want it every which way. When money was being thrown around like there was no tomorrow I didn't see them lowering their rates!. Now they are hitting people when things are already so bad. Of course our government lets them away with it. Bails them out and then lets them piss all over ordinary people.
its a bit of a vicious circle really, their credit rate was reduced this week with the mian reason been that it wont be profitable till 2011, now if they continue to loose money their credit rating will go down further and the cost of borrowing will increase...
i wish all the execs of dodgy dealing banks were fired, with no compo, i wish the gov was removed, actually i wish the whole set up was trashed, having one party rip shreds of the other, and visa versa, having so many traditionalists / over 50's only vote one party all their life.. this isnt how you run a country, this isnt choosing who we want to run a country, this is people getting elected because of what team they play for (pun, i know, but thats how it is). Id much prefer a council that talked about problems and worked together towards solutions.. and these guys dont get to be buddies with bankers and builders...
The sooner a General election is called the better. The only thing to do is go to the streets and protest because this is disgraceful. The Banks get bailed out with our money and then because of their poor practises they then charge us more money so they can be more profitable. The government have completely failed us and if FF had any balls they would have put proper sanctions on how banks are being run seeing as they are paying them Billions to keep them afloat. Lenihan should be straight on the phone to them to give them an ultimatium. What a ****ing joke of a country. I feel really sorry for the people who are losing out.
