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

lolzYes. I think that credit is like drinking or gambling: some people just can't do it safely.
I have never had a loan, credit card, overdraft etc. I don't want one either, because I have a feeling I'd end deeply in debt.
Don't do it kids, it's not worth it!

Never a truer word saidUp until 2 years ago I'd never had a loan, credit card or overdraft.
Fast forward to now and I'm nearly 5k in debt thanks to 3 shiney credit cards and a £500 overdraft limit.
I still remember the day I applied for and got my first credit card. Ignored all warnings from my friends who all knew I was, how shall we say, somewhat irresonsible when it came to money anyway.
Ah well, live and learn (and I'm glad to say I actually have, haven't used a card since christmas).
3 years and I'm clear. Pisses me off though that for that money I could have travelled the world and instead I'm just lumbered with thousands of pounds of debt and only an ipod nano to show for it.
