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

Not as bad as others but ff sake!Brief background...bought a house in Canada and had various accounts to deal with money going back and forth. About a year after last using a dollar account held in London get statements telling me that banks charges of C$30 have been made against it despite it being empty (so on top of everything else I now have an overdraft charge due as well)! Why was the original charge taken....wait for it..."insufficient funds in the account". So I am being charged for not using an empty account. Suddenly I am C$60 in debt for doing nothing with nothing. My local branch (bend over backwards helpful) manage to sort it out with London and get funds refunded. 3 months later guess what, C$60 gone again for "insufficient funds etc. + unauthorised overdraft charge" Cancelled again and now have had to close the empty account which is a real pain but where is the logic???
It's not a lot of money compared to the other posts but is so irritating it makes you want to scream and makes you feel for people trying to deal with this level of stupidity when they have hugely more important things depending on it.
Lord help us all (except for the bankers).
