BanksYour Ginger Fuhrer froths, "I hate my bank. Not because of debt or anything but because I hate being sold to - possibly pathologically so - and everytime I speak to them they try and sell me services. Gold cards, isas, insurance, you know the crap. It drives me insane. I ALREADY BANK WITH YOU. STOP IT. YOU MAKE ME FRIGHTED TO DO MY NORMAL BANKING. I'm angry even thinking about them."
So, tell us your banking stories of woe.
No doubt at least one of you has shagged in the vault, shat on a counter or thrown up in a cash machine. Or something

This ^Only thing I would add, is that I don't think that you are morally obliged to pay that debt because it's not part of the rules of the game. The bank is not concerned with being 'moral', just it following its legal obligations, and likewise you should do the same. What's sauce for the goose...
Actually, a lot of this argument comes back to common conceptions of contracts. There is a well established legal notion of an 'unfair' contract. There are a range of circumstances in which contracts are not valid. Basically, just because you agree to something, don't make it a legally binding contract, there are a range of other criteria which must be met.
