Default Nationwide online comparison(durrr,NatWest charge more you fools!)

I apologise but this is one of my most bizarrest of posts that I will ever do here(well I have another thing up my sleeve but that is another story0. I was looking at Nationwide to help someone on another forum and thought, what the heck I will check out the difference between Nationwide to NatWest, knowing full well that they would probably be better.
Nationwide Building Society - Current Account - Comparison calculator
The above link may help. Under the heading "unpaid items fee" they have NatWest at £30(maximum of £90 a month). That's wrong. Unpaid items is £38 a month with a maximum of 3 per day.
I wondered how they got their information so at the bottom I read the small print.

"Data supplied by Nationwide Building Society. Nationwide rates effective from 01/08/08. Source competitor's website. All information as at 29/07/08.

* interestautolinker.com autolinking image rate paid on balances up to £3,000. Any part of your balance over £3,000 will earn 0.10% gross p.a./AER."

Nationwide might be better than NatWest but they really cannot read the website or understand it. Perhaps if they are reading this they might want to go into the NatWest Forum on CAG which explains how the charges work and what NatWest charge including the amounts which is accurate and up to date

As I said this is one of the most bizarrest of posts I will ever post here. Could this suggest that the NatWest Website information is not in Plain and Intelligible Language.

I have a second post on this one and it is actually a criticism of Nationwide or a trick that they have missed. I post on another forum which is more to do with students and money under my more accustomed name(its on my signatureautolinker.com autolinking image btw in case you really wanted to know). Nationwide do not offer a student account and yet they are the only provider that actually offer a card you can use overseas without a charge. If they read this, you are missing a good opportunity Nationwide.
