This is a question Banks

Your 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 keep getting phone calls
from those companies that can consolidate all your loans.
The conversation goes like this.

Company : Would you like to consolidate all your debts.
Me: I don't have any debts.
Company: What about your loans, credit cards and store cards.
Me: I don't have any debts.
Company: What about your overdraft
Me: I don't have any debts.
Company: You don't have any debts?
Me: No, none.
Company: Oh

They always sound confused at the end, I don't think they can cope with the idea of someone having no debts.

It's not strictly true - I do have a mortgage and a loan for the car.

best re-mortgage
and pay off your car loan then.

Have you ever considered consolidating all your debts
Into a single, affordable, monthly repayment?

Which continues
until a time so far in the future that even Doctor Who hasn't seen it.

But if you admitted you had a loan...
Then you would be on the phone for hours.

It's like telling window sellers you don't have any windows. They get confused and hang up.

When I get calls like this ...
I hand the phone to my 5yo daughter.

Priceless.

This is an excellent idea
I just need to obtain a 5 year old now.

that last line...
"It's not strictly true - I do have a mortgage and a loan for the car."

Just pushes it over the edge. Have a click :)
