Advantages: n/a, n/a, n/a

Disadvantages: postal only communication , Will shaft you, Web site frequently down

Joining First Direct was the biggest mistake I ever made. I opened an account with them after leaving university and when I had very little disposable income. They did, as they do with evey new customer, give me a £500 overdraft. This is not out of generosity, I can assure you. I was often close to the limit and they charged me any chance they got, even if I exceeded it by only a few hours. They would then charge me the following month, wven though it was their charges that had put me over the limit to begin with. Stay clear of them, they are crap.

Welcome to Dooyoo.

A few tips to get you started on the site: Although there's no limit on the amount of reviews you can post it's better to post just three a day then you'll find you get more reads. If you read and rate around the site you'll soon find out what should be included in a review plus you'll get known to other members which will result in them reading things that you post.

It’s always a good idea to write your reviews as though you are writing for someone who has never heard of the product, that way you’ll cover everything. Also it’s best to write your review in Microsoft Word and run a spellchecker before posting onto the site.

You can ask any of the guides for help with any aspect of the site and a list of all the guides can be found here http://www.dooyoo.co.uk/c ommunity/_page/advice_gui des/. They will do everything they can to help with your query.

Lastly you can sign up for your own guest book at http://www.crosswordcheat s.com/tooyoo/ where you can chat with other Dooyoo members.

Above all I hope you enjoy it here and have fun :O) Sara
