    By the way, Harry Said Buy Chips, from Santander, or any Nationwide store. Lloyd's not happy, he prefers fish.

    "We'll make an advert, out of a crisis". Hale & Pace, I believe.

    No. This is a real advert.

    The only ones I can find are by Barclay Card. But these aren't it. I'll keep looking.

    I heard sod all back..

    thing is.. they "supposedly" delivered my new card to my London address..great.. I REALLY enjoy a 50 mile round trip, when that's the whole point why I registered out here (so any card etc could be sent to the local branch)... one member of staff tells me it's impossible to get it sent to my branch address... others tell me it's fine.

    so card hasn't arrived at my address I am told they used royal mail by 1 member of staff.. another decides to tell me it a courier.. and of course I have to chase it up and ring both.. not like it's their job or anything..

    then I get told, oh the card was dispatched BUT no one needed to sign for it...WTF is that about ?!?! all couriers are 100% trustworthy..surrrree, I know different coz of work..

    so I get told , oh to get sent a new card, I have to go to the local branch.. and ASK THEM.. wtf!!!... i said NO.. you contact them.. arrange it and I turn up with my passport etc.. that of course is too obviious and too easy.. the member of staff says "oh I can't arrange that" .. not like they all work for the same company as well..

    so due to some little scroat scamming my card, I'm cardless for 10 days now..

    oh well , off to the bank tomorrow as I enjoy nothing more than wasting my time trying to get access to my money . they don't even have a way for me to put money into paypal to tide me over .. which I would have liked.

    end result : account closed as of tomorrow when I can be bothered to go in.. and they are a bunch of "bankers"

    just got back from setting up a new account.

    while in the queue to pay in money.. from my old OTHER bank ... I get a call

    the card FINALLY has turned up at my house 30 minutes are my closing the other accounts..

    serves them right for lying to me MULTIPLE times.. and I bet they don't have the bottle to ring me up customer service wise

    "oh it arrived on the 10th march"... why do they lie so much.. don't they realise people don't like it..

    So, now that you've switched ... are you going to name them, as a warning to others?
  • edited March 2010
    Sounds like Lloyds TSB to me, I know of 3 people who have had there debit cards stopped for no apparent reason, and at my local Tesco it happens a lot. People go to pay, and know they have the money in the bank, but get declined, and have to leave shopping. Nearly always Lloyds TSB. I don't Bank with them, and never would. I prefer to gamble my own money myself.

    Good old Lloyds TSB I don't even know if my account is still active? They seem to have forgotten about me?

    it was barclays... I have REALLY been annoyed without how they have treated me and none of them could get their story straight and it is factual / truth if they feel they need to contact me do so (pity they didn't do that when I was "trying to" bank with them)). 1.. said card was sent by courier... other said royal mail... card turned up today via royal mail.... they said it was delivered by courier.. courier said it was... so what gives.. with it turning up almost 2 weeks later!! then they told me it could be delivered to london or to branch.. then not so.. it's too much hassle.


    I joined ??? today.. and ??? today instead, wait n see what happens I guess.

    I almost asked the woman out in 1 bank, there was something about her.. we got on very well, but she wasn't single.. I think she knew I was gonna ask if she wanted to go coffee (or tizer / fanta) .. so dropped that into the conversation, that her boyfriend did music like me.
  • edited March 2010
    I think her exact quote was " my boyfriend does good music, unlike you ";)

    No, I was there, the quote was:
    "My boyfriend has more than a tenner in his account."

    I like all 3 answers from grey key, ZnorXman, mile.. I only get to know women if they are single.. I'm old fashioned like that. I did like her , but maybe because she lives not so local she wants to do something in her lunch break..lol

    a friend used to play about.. so his girlfriend took a leaf out of his book.. she ended up giving him the clap.haha BUT she was the one woman he realised he loved....lets just say he got the **** take out of him for ages.

    I am a great believer in karma, it's fixed a few people I know in the past including some terwat who knew an ex that made out he wrote Quazatron when he was 13, he's one of them snidey ****s that although married was looking for a "jump"...

    I have ?15 in the account if you really must know ;) all this ebaying for speccy stuff emptied out my money :)

    I think Lloyds TSB have been having problems with their computers, our tills at a certain chain of UK garden centres regularly tell people "computer says no". We then have to ring up the bank to get them to authorize the transaction, assuming the customer hasn't just stomped off in a huff/embarassment.

    Edit: You've got ?15 in your account? If only...

    They were a building society but they got gobbled up by the Spanish bank Santander, as did a lot of British banks which crumbled following the crisis.

    I did see the final price for anaconda , I do have a bit more than ?15-20 in my account though :) ... it will probably be less as something music wise turned up on ebay and well I have waited about 4-5 years to get one, but none ever showed up on ebay , so I will bid to a point :)
    .. failing that order a more expensive one from japan..yikes
    the monopoly on banks now has sadly annoyed me... and it's near impossible to get a bank who you think .. well I will invest..


    1) santander is Spanish and now own a LOT of the UK banking industry.. great.. lets give the Spanish economy more money.. much like british gas is owned by the french..

    2) I dislike RBS and any bank to do with them , thanks to "fred the shred" .. again they have a lot of the UK market

    3)any banks that got the hand out.. yet still their top folk get a nice bonus while tax payers who bailed them out have to sit and wait.

    I don't think I'm the only person who thinks like this and it leaves me thinking WHO TO BANK WITH aggh! :)
