RedHux Posted 28 August 2008 Posted 28 August 2008 Barclays is better A man who chose "Lloyds is pants" as his telephone banking password said he found it had been changed by a member of staff to "no it's not".Steve Jetley, from Shrewsbury, said he chose the password after falling out with Lloyds TSB over insurance that came free with an account. He said he was then banned from changing it back or to another password of "Barclays is better". The bank apologised and said the staff member no longer worked there.
Flynny Posted 28 August 2008 Posted 28 August 2008 Lloyds "are" pants. Thats why it was changed surely?
The People's Hero Posted 28 August 2008 Posted 28 August 2008 It should be 'is' - Lloyds is a company.
Unit Posted 28 August 2008 Posted 28 August 2008 I salute this fella, lloyds are shite. Got a £30 charge for going 3p overdrawn!
James. Posted 28 August 2008 Posted 28 August 2008 I salute this fella, lloyds are shite.Got a £30 charge for going 3p overdrawn! You broke the rules of your account and they charged you for it? Pah. Unbelievable.
Unit Posted 28 August 2008 Posted 28 August 2008 You broke the rules of your account and they charged you for it?Pah. Unbelievable. 3p! 3p!!!! I even tried to put 3p into my account the day they sent the letter saying 'you can avoid the charge by paying the money back today' blah blah but it was during that postmans strike so i didn't get the letter til a few days after. After plenty of shouting i held onto my £30. bastards!
Zingari Posted 28 August 2008 Posted 28 August 2008 i reckon they should send someone round to break your kneecaps if you go overdrawn
Alexikokopops Posted 28 August 2008 Posted 28 August 2008 HSBC are wankers. They suspended my account because they decided my home address wasn't Lincolnshire any more, didn't tell me, closed it, and then sent a letter to the address they thought I didn't live at telling me I had two weeks to pay back my overdraft.

HSBC have treated me even worse than that. Such a bunch of wan kers.

The People's Hero Posted 28 August 2008 Posted 28 August 2008 DId they gang rape you aswell?????? They suggested I go in for a meeting because my account type was due to change. I agreed, made a meeting, went in for the meeting at arranged time, announced my presence and was told to 'take a seat, perhaps read the paper, Kirsty will be right with you'. Great I thought - they're running lot. They're inviting me to read the paper (the only one being the financial times) so they MUST be running late. The fact that someone else was reading it had obviously escaped their rather unimpressive powers of observation. 15 minutes or so passed and I'd text a few people, read the front and back page cover of the financial times (well the headlines anyway) whilst the guy opposite me sat reading it when I decided I'd ask when my appointment might actually occur, since I was meant to be holding the fort here at the office that day. 'When she's finished with her current customer' was the helpful and might I say, very dryly delivered line.. I did stop to wonder whether the rather chubby, blonde Maidstonian with fax tan, heavy set make up and a very tight perm had been deliberately droll or whether she genuinely thought I was enquiring as to whether I might see Kirsty concurrently with someone else seeing her. Anyway, another 15 minutes passed and I'll skip telling you quite how bored I was getting. Banks are dull places at the best of times. I ask the manager who passes me, 'excuse me, do you know if Kirsty will be much longer? I really do have to get back to work.' She looked at me blankly, walked over to check the appointment book, shook her head and came back to me... 'I'm sorry sir, Kirsty left our employment a week ago.' The brilliant thing here was Mr Financial Times then lowers his paper and chimes in 'but I've been waiting for an hour to see Kirsty... what do you mean she's not here?'. So the manager sees me and it turns out that I had to pay off some of my credit card PDQ and that they just wanted to 'review' my graduate account. Fine I think, so I pay £250 or so off, on the spot. HSBC call me a few days later and ask what I'm doing transferring £250 to my CC when I was already £3,000 over my overdraft limit on my current account... Turns out the idiots had taken my overdraft away without telling me, charged me a shedload of money and in response then buggered my credit card up too. I was livid. Actually, through typing this I've just realised I still am. Anyway, it only got sorted out when I threatened to move our business banking elsewhere (which I don't even have the authority to do) that they sorted it out. Aresholes.

Similar thing happened to me, they rang me up and told me my student overdraft was no longer valid and from this point i would be charged X amount of interest per month and if I didn't meet a minimum payment i would be charged a penalty!! By the way, Kirsty was with me, dirty slut!!!
Joe. Posted 28 August 2008 Posted 28 August 2008 3p! 3p!!!!I even tried to put 3p into my account the day they sent the letter saying 'you can avoid the charge by paying the money back today' blah blah but it was during that postmans strike so i didn't get the letter til a few days after. After plenty of shouting i held onto my £30. bastards! I'm with Lloyd's and apparently I went overdrawn once too, but I got nothing more than a polite letter!
Trumpet Posted 28 August 2008 Posted 28 August 2008 I'm with Lloyd's and apparently I went overdrawn once too, but I got nothing more than a polite letter! I go overdrawn regularly with Lloyds, they can't charge you on the under 19's account. I abuse it. I went to pay some money into my current account the other week and the woman behind the counter got the manager over to point out something on the screen (clearly the fact I've been overdrawn pretty much all the time) and they tried to get me on the classic account "because that's what we like, and advise to do so when you turn 18". Me: "No thanks, I'm quite happy to stay on the under-19's account, until i'm actually 19 - anyway i'm late for a meeting"
Guest Posted 29 August 2008 Posted 29 August 2008 I'm disappointed with this thread. I was expecting a healthy discussion on the Wetherspoons' brand, but instead find fiscal talk. Pah.
