This is a question Corporate Idiocy

Comedian Al Murray recounts a run-in with industrial-scale stupidity: "Car insurance company rang, without having sent me a renewal letter, asking for money. Made them answer security questions." In the same vein, tell us your stories about pointless paperwork and corporate quarter-wits

On line banking is so convenient
Opened an on line account but the cards and cheque book failed to appear. Speak to call centre who inform me I need to pay £100.00 minimum in. I point out that I have transferred more than ten times that amount in. They'll look into it. Weeks pass. More money goes in but still no debit/cashpoint card. At the third time of phoning I am finally informed that I have to pay the minimum £100.00 at a branch. It worked.

Is this the Co-Op?
I've had an account with them for the past few months, and if I remember rightly the account welcome letter did specify money had to go in via a branch.

Surely the point is that on-line banking is a waste of time if you have to use a branch?
