Bank bastards
When I was a student I opened an account with a well known high street bank. They gave me an overdraft of £600 which came in very handy and generally things were ok. I left uni, and about six months after I was on the dole and I get a letter from the bank saying that I was overdrawn by about £400 and i should it pay immediately.

Thats strange, I thought, because when I created the account the bank said that the overdraft would continue after I left full time education. I rang them, told them this but they refused to believe me and because I couldnt find the letter proving that the overdraft was authorised they said they would take me to court. You might have thought that they would have a record of this, but oh no. After muchos persuading they agreed to take £5 a week out of my £43 dole which was nice of them, and although it left me completely strapped it was a relief to finally get them off my back.

So, after about 3 months I find the letter authorising the overdraft, go into the bank absolutely fuming at the shit they had given me. The cold faced bitch behind the counter checked the letter, sent a copy to somewhere out there in bank land and then said ok, we'll forget about the £5 arrangement. No apology, nothing. The ironic thing is that now im earning a fair whack in IT, they keep sending me applications for loans and credit cards and they're as nice as pie to me. You can f**k right off, the bank that sounds like Boyds
