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

I used to belongto a very nice private bank that may or may not have rhymed with "boots".
Until the day that they decided to make it even more exclusive, and charge £150 per quarter to any customer who keeps less than £10,000 in their current account*.
I asked them what their interest rate would be for the current account: It was 0.5%. Hardly an incentive to stay. I quit, and have been suffering at the hands of NatWest for nearly a year. I hate NatWest.
*Yep, current account. Not even across all their accounts or in savings.

Or I wasuntil I had to leave the bank. But at least I'm not being shafted for 600 quid a year just to say "oooh look at my pretty Stella Macartney-designed bank card".
Damn, it was a pretty card.

No. Certainly not.I absolutely did not ignore their request to destroy the card, and it is certainly not sitting in a jewellery box at home, where I certainly do not take it out from time to time to not look at the shiny pretty card.
