Royal Skank of scotland
So i got a job working for direct line, and as they're owned by Royal Bank of scotland they REQUIRED I have an account with them for me to get paid.
So after a few months of not getting one, being paid late, having to call HR every month and get my team leader to 'request payment be paid to an unautherised bank' i decided to give in and get an account.

now there was 2 options; bog standard cash-card
or a royalties gold account, with numerous trimmings that only royalty would actually need. but it wasfree to employees, so i thought what the hell.
Cue a couple of months later when i get sacked (That's another QOTW, not my fault) not only did i have to make hundreds of calls, complaints, threats of Financial ombudsman etc i finally got my last paycheque. only for them to take half of it out of my account 30 seconds later (literally).
But it doesn't end there, I got even more money taken out of my account a couple of months later for my superdooper posh gold card. which they failed to mention to me i am now paying for seeing as i'm no longer employed by them.

so the final damage;
Sacked for things beyond my control, making it so no other employer wants to touch me with a barge pole.

taking random amounts of money out of an unemployed guys account on more than one occaision.



You guys think you're getting conned on the customer end of banks/insurers? try working for the cunts.
