      You'd think base rates were near zero and government are printing money wouldn't you?



      What do you expect? Debtors are being saved at the expense of savers.

        Lloyds changed one of my accounts from 2.7% to .1% and never informed me.

          Just opened the letter from Catter Allen. 0% on anything less than £100,000.

              They'd love to start charging negative interest (ie you pay), but the system was never designed for it and the cost of changing it would probably be astronomical or in other words close to bank bailout cost...

                Student Loans got cheaper this year for some borrowers, IIRC, since the rate of interest is governed by inflation and current interest rates.

                  Great.

                  This means is making less money from student loans and all taxpayers will have to pay for it.
