I'm rich now

Tuesday 11th July 2006 04:17:35 PM

Went to Yorkshire Bank today to pay some bills, thought I could avoid the trip by calling Customer Service and making a debit card payment. But oh no, they don’t accept card payments to credit cards until after the due date (probably so they can charge for missing the payment). The devil must have thought of that one.

When I was there I decided to close two dormant accounts I’ve had with them for a long time (were showing up on my credit file as being active). Plus I’m not too happy with their services, have had crappy customer experiences and their online banking is total pants.

I hand over my drivers licence as proof of identity, sign two documents and expect that would be it. She tells me I have a few pence in each account, 4p and 3p (probably the interest gone on) I tell her they can keep anything remaining in the accounts. But oh no, “We have to give you any remaining funds in the accounts” and takes my driving licence to the counter.

At the counter, next to me are these young Asian birds. “That’s 4p from one account and 3p from the other” says the lady putting them on the counter. One of the girls looks at me (I could tell she was trying not to laugh) “Oh I’m rich now” I say and she starts laughing. She must have thought I’m either funny or a cheap-skate. I was only trying to wriggle out of an embarrassing situation.

The basted thing is that it looked like I was making a withdrawal for 7p when all I wanted was my drivers licence back. So long Yorkshire Bank, and thanks for all the fish!
