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

Sometimes they are nice...Due to my having run-ins with banks on a frequent basis, my bank decided one day to remove my OD with very short notice (note, it was repaid in full each month and no defaults - they also froze my account EVERY Friday to Monday for 'security reasons', and also lied on the phone frequently telling me that it was 'just a dodgy cashpoint' making me drive the 10 miles to the next one only to discover that my account was in fact frozen yet AGAIN!).
I moved a couple of grand from my other account to cover the OD.
On the day they said the OD would be gone - it wasn't.
So I withdrew it and never paid a penny into that account again.
So I can only consider that they gave me a gift of 2800 quid to compensate me for their pettyness and all the trouble and inconvenience they caused me.
Very nice of them I thought.
I never heard another word from them (nearly three years) - which somewhat backs up my gift theory.

Ieven wrote to them when I changed address too - STILL I heard nothing from them.
A reasonable person can only summise that they have given me the money as a gift.
I still have the letter telling me exactly when the said OD was supposed to dissapear.
I suppose some might think that it was a mistake on their part, but then why not contact me over it? Some might also think that they were trying to fuck me over by withdrawing the OD and didn't expect me to have funds to move into the account to cover it, then changed their minds when I did.
Who knows - but you can't repay something to someone who doesn't reply to letters etc...

Maybe they're on to youand seeing how far they can screw with you.
After your previous posts however, maybe they're just shitting themselves! "Ah it's him/her, RUN AWAY!"
