This is a question Little Victories

I recently received a £2 voucher from a supermarket after complaining vociferously about the poor quality of their own-brand Rich Tea biscuits, which I spent on more tasty, tasty biscuits. Tell us about your trivial victories that have made life a tiny bit better.

AbsoLUTEly.
I paid a £300 cheque into my account (totally in the black). Two days later and voila - the money is in my account, and the available balance has increased accordingly. Happy day. I moved the funds out of that account and into my ISA.

Imagine my surprise, then, when I was charged interest. Eh? What?

I emailed the bank. The interest was for the "loan" they had given me, because the funds had not yet cleared.

This is clearly fraudulent behaviour - to trick you into thinking the funds are available to you with no penalty. There was no indication that they hadn't cleared.

What do you think of that little trick? The bank's name may be an anagram of HBSC.
