Bloody banks

[Dominic]

I got a bonus this month. So I decided to pay off one of my loans with it.

Went to the bank yesterday, asked them to transfer the appropriate wad of cash, and left.

Checked just now, and the transaction has gone through. Except instead of the loan vanishing, it's still there. Because they paid £4 too much in, so I now have a graduate loan in credit.

Go figure.

They just can't bear the thought of me no longer owing them money, can they?

Grrr

Its their error so ask them to sort it out and tell them you will expect the same level of interest from them that you would get if your account had been correctly debited.

<font color='#736AFF'>Don't forget to ask them to reimburse you for lost interest-it may be pennies but it sure is expensive for them to correct.

Plus expenses for phone calls, postage etc

Then bill them for your time wasted, say £50 per hour.

Mention banking ombudsmen in every other sentance.

But be polite at all times &nbsp;

I got a bit of blurb today with my new CC, apparently they'll ask for immediate &amp; full repayment of the &nbsp;outstanding balance under several conditions, one of which is &nbsp;&quot;if you die&quot;
Be a bit late to ask me for anything by then eh? I can just see the bank staff sitting around a table with a &nbsp;ouija board going &quot;Show me the money!&quot; &nbsp;

Comes out of your estate I believe Steve - which is why it's not a bad idea to have life insurance that will cover all your debts if you snuff it and your dependents end up liable...

[Dr Stevil]

Yeah, I've had to deal with Probate once before, it's a ballache

[Dominic]

Really? Gosh. When did you die?

I spent a year being dead, for Tax purposes &nbsp;

A quote from the finest film about a pop foursome of all time.

The Rutles !
