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

GRRRRRRRR!!If money is the root of all evil, my bank is the rest of the fucking tree. Scum. I have a catalogue of tales of uselessness and downright robbery, but they probably have happened to and been posted by other people so I'm sticking with this one.
Just finished college, predictably skint, utterly overdrawn and out to grab whatever McJob with get me out of the hole I'm in until I find something worth doing. ££oyd$ decide that as Im no longer a student I cant have a student overdraft. Fair enough. So they offer me a loan, which I have to accept to cover the 'draft plus a few quid to live on. (I had to refuse to take an extra grand which they were trying to push on me, but I digress).
No problem until I check my balance and find that the loan has gone in but its short by about £60. Turns out, they had taken the overdraft facility away on the day I agreed to the loan but not paid the loan in for a few days, then fucking charged me for being overdrawn!!
Think about it, if they try this on every time, what percentage of people wouldnt actually notice? Thats got to be a nice little earner.
