Owing to a two-month gap between finishing my last job and starting this one, I've not been paid since mid-July and won't be until the end of this month, and so have been pretty much flat broke for a good few weeks now. As a result I've missed a few direct debits because there wasn't enough money in my account to cover them. And Natwest, in their apparent eagerness not to miss an opportunity to make a shit situation worse, have taken it upon themselves to charge me an 'unpaid transaction fee' every time this has happened. So far I'm down £30, which may not sound like a lot, but that would cover me for dinner for a week. They're essentially fining me for being poor. How the fuck is that allowed?!
