Moved to blue shirts,or should it be the post office forum

I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Re: post office loans
Isn't there something mentioned at the back of the courier about post office products?
However, I used to work at Direct Line and even though we got a discount on their loan rates etc, there were still cheaper places out there.

Does this rag smell of chloroform to you?

Re: post office loans
Depending on how much you need, Barclaycard are doing a 6.8% rate on their simplicity card (I got a new card with a £3000 limit for example's sake). Thats not bad, even in comparison with a real term loan. This is of course a credit card though. Still, transfer the balance with some other companies and you could end up having an interest free loan. Probably will not get you a brand new car though
Typical loan would be 7-8% APR with excellent credit. (http://www.creditexpert.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)
Post office rates as standard are 9.9%-13.9% APR and while not bad, there are, as the other poster said, better deals around. Advantage is that it's unsecured.

Run, rabbit run. Dig that hole, forget the sun.
And when at last the work is done. Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one
