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

The one that is spelt "H A L I F A X"I have a £1500 overdraft and not having much income, the monthly income is very close to outgoings. So close in fact, that the overdraft is within a few quid of the limit by the end of the month.
They charged me up to £10 per month for this. Fair enough thought I. But then they said "We're ditching that acount and anyone on it will be moved onto a new account. Every month you're in credit, you get £5 for free. We also charge you £1 for every day you're in your overdraft
(there isn't a <extremely microscopic font-size> tag I can use).
I go in and explain to them that I want a different account, and they kindly change me to a different account which although is going to cost me about £16 a month (instead of £10) it's far far better than £30.
However, after scanning "Money Saving Expert", I opened an account with Alliance & Leicester who wil charge me at most £5 a month.
My only concern is that Haliax will want their £16 a month. I suppose I could transfer £20 a week over an eventually pay it off over 75 months.
Actually, I might transfer £5 a week instead, which would cost them more. Arf.
