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

I used to work for Natwest doing some card security stuffIf you'd had a credit card they would have a; tried to phone you and b; put a security check on your card. Which would have instructed the retailer to phone them before letting you pay but wouldn't in principle have stopped you from paying.
Debit cards were another matter because they used different, more arcane software (and were dealt with by different people in different places). But I never heard of cards being cancelled just because someone had gone abroad. Maybe that's new, or maybe someone just had a spaz out?

It was a lowly Debit card...I'd already had to spend money while there for food - which I don't think is unreasonable...

It happened to me.I went to India, tried to get money out, card was declined. Had to spend 20 quid calling them to get it unlocked. That was a debit card.
