Banks - Again!!!!

WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING TO ME TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So before I even start my rant about banks I have to have a rant about my laptop, just spent 10 minutes angrilly typing up my rant then hit back and lost the lot SERIOUSLY!!! WHY IS MY DAY THIS BAD

So Im going to write it again!

So I thought today I would sort the money out for the mk1 metro that im saving and the geezer would accept postal order and nothing else! Postal Orders have to be paid in cash according to Royal Mail website.

I get up at the usual time for a student (12ish) then head over with my card to the post office, got down the road and relised I forgot my phone with the geezers address on it - fantastic so back to the house to pick it up.

Finally get to the post office and to my dismay the pin number the bank gave me last time I forgot it is wrong! WTF? I even wrote it on my phone because I know how forgetful I am, so I enter it 3 times and the card is blocked - fuck, figure thats not too bad as theres a bank up the road; ill walk on up to it and take teh money out over the counter itll be lovley.

Get to the bank and the women behind the desk begins with her security questions - I am myself so figure itll be easy right? WRONG! I completley forgot i used this bank for my car insurance and so after about 10 minutes and her hinting furiously at me I remembered now I can speak to her. She tells me the max she can give me is £50! What!!! Im sure ive had more last time i tried buying a car (the same thing happend then) long story short she ordered my pin number and gave me my online banking details

Walking back home I figure ill be real smart here - log into online banking send money to myself and withdraw from the account I actually use! [Insert fuck yea meme here]. 25 mins later I get in, get onto the online banking site and find I need there FUCKING STUPID little pin sentry machine to log in, oh yeah that thing that I threw away literally 4 YEARS AGO!!!!

Right I know I'll ring telephone banking up! Bear in mind, I have no home phone only a mobile! So I ring their 0845 number costing me probably £1 a minute, select option 2 "please enter your telephone banking membership number" I'VE NEVER HAD THAT OMFG, so thinking I'll be clever I ring up again and choose option 3 to speak to someone, im on hold for 15 minutes before I relise that no body wants to speak to me so i hang up. Great thats probably cost near enough £20 :@

Clutching at straws to get hold of my money right now.

I get onto my natwest credit card! Great, will send the money from that and itll be rosey! I login, spend 10 minutes navigating there STUPID website to finally get to the point where I can send myself some wonga. Fill in the form, my details the lot hit the button bish bash bosh, oh wait "sorry we cant complete your request please ring telephone banking" WHY!!! WHY CANT YOU! whats the point in having hte option there if your not going to let me fucking use it!!!!

Final Straw now, getting angry! So I storm out hte house again walking whilst chuntering and bitching to myself about barclays and natwest etc etc, get all the way to the post office again to find I forgot my credit card so cant even attempt to take cash out or pay for it with that. I get several strange looks from people as I shout at the top of my voice "WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON TODAY"

Thought FUCK IT IM NOT PAYING FOR IT TODAY, text the guy to let him know whats going on, went to the chip shop and bought sausage, chips and curry sauce then sat on the curb and ate it.

OMFG what a crap day, I am keeping ALL of my money in cash in my hosue FROM NOW ON I have had enough of this bullshit every time I need access to it

sounds more like you need to be more organised...

You want to try working for a bank, when you will know real frustration....

to be fair i thought I had it all sorted, had my pin numbers saved on my phone the lot all I needed was the cash point?

to make like simple i have a document folder with all my personal things in. (birth certificate bank shit car insurance etc etc). i always keep everything in there. go and buy one and when you get your pins and inportant into, file it in there! but keep it organised or else it will soon mount up with shite.

ie had similar days with insuring a sorn car etc.

Pmsl, sorry.

having a baggy day mate lol

I am the same Johnny however mine are in a small safe

Your comment sounds heartfelt, Andy.

Did you know I worked for one of the major banks for over 30 years ?

Got out in 1975, thank goodness.

Didn't know that Dave. Sounds like the good old days when banks where banks and they didn't need bailing out...

Obviously I can't name names, but I work for one you all own a piece of and not through choice...

I think you are onto something here, organisation is not my strongest point - unfortunatley neither is it my girlfriends :/

Oh dear.... we all get times like that nothing goes. Right

Wolfie where's the safe hidden? . ...lol

Don't worry you're not the only one having one of them days!

Ive just had a call from HIC insurance saying that I owe them £200 for my insurance, even though I cancelled the policy 4 weeks ago (renewal date). They are charging me £50 setup fee (even though its a renewal), £45 for paying by direct debit (which ive already cancelled) and £100 odd for the cover I have apparently already had (2 weeks worth).

The policy was £360 for the year which seemed a rip off for a start, I would of kept it going if was only a couple of hundred, but they just seem to be taking the piss now...£50 setup fee for changing a couple of dates and pressing "print" fuck off...

I won't be using them again, been with them for about 6 years now too.

Note to everyone...try sureterm insurance. They insured my mk1 for £90 fully comp including a FREE agreed evaluation, HIC wanted to charge me £290 for the same policy. I'll be insuring the turbo with them now to.

Rant over...

Yeah, Adrain Flux are trying to charge me £30 for cancelling their insurance policy but I was told that I would be given no cancelling fee if I found a cheaper quote, so in the process of battling them as well :/

Lets hope tomorrow is a better day

all banks suck mate ,goddam robbers

give em hell

try dealing with banks when your in business..............

The bank robbed £300 off us the other day because they made a mistake on a transaction, no we've gotta wait 14 days to get it back. And then to top it all off the card went faulty a couple days later, and a cashpoint swallowed it. So now there's a 4-7day wait to get another card. Barclays are a bunch of scrotums.

Oh :( I was hoping to use barclays for my business bank accounts :(

Im going to try again today - wish me luck in my quest for my own money

My own stuff is with hsbc. Can't fault them.

VICTORY! I have beating my banking crises!!! The women who told me I could only have £50 yesturday was wrong! I could have up to 2k. So SHE caused me all my grief and dismay

whack her on the tits with a large shovel mate

give em hell

Yes i moved to the darkside
