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

Short and sweetWanted to change my bog-standard, cashcard only account from a certain royal bank based in Scotland to a current account with Sparclays. Walked in on my day off, spoke to the 'personal advisor', all set, no problems.
2 weeks later, no cards. I phone up to enquire and they look into it.
I then get a letter in the post to tell me that they don't know my address and can I call in to my 'personal advisor' again with ID and proof of address (which he already had).
"So if you don't know my address" I politely enquire of the unlucky phone-monkey who answered my call, "How did you know where to send the letter?"
"Oh that's on a different system." he tells me.
"I'd like to cancel my account please.."
"May I ask why sir?"
"Because you are a bunch of incompetent fuckwits, and if you can't get something that simple right, why the fuck should I trust you with my finances?!"

Lucky escape there I think.
