BROKE MY BALLS
Post office bank "mislays"- their words not mine - 80K of my money for 8 weeks due to losing various important forms. I have a bill of $125,000 to pay - and still the fucking bank can't find my money. Pound goes down the pan in the meantime by over 50 cents.

Ipso facto I am fucked.

Any sympathy out there?




No I didn't think so.

Well,
I'd seriously think about sueing the swines.

I did but....
Well I am now off to the banking ombudsman - the above is a shortened version of what actually happened (a lot of really amazing fuck ups on the PO's behalf thankfully documented by myself for once) but a trip to my local friendly lawyer informed me I couldn't sue - morally I was right but in law they have enough get outs to make a hesitant virgin's excuses seem unimaginative. The Ombudsman should get them though although I'll probably only get 60% of the losses according to the advice I was given.

^^^
Of course if you sued them for enough you could end up owning the post office, like we own the banks now.

Good luck getting a letter from Cornwall to Scotland for 31p.

But yeah, financial cockups are bad. Though personally if I were dealing with THAT much money, I'd have taken photocopies, and probably both used special delivery services AND faxed everything for a double confirmation etc. We don't know the details, but problems like this generally arise when everybody isn't taking enough precautions.

You have my sympathy!
Seems like all the financial institutions we used to trust have all turned out to be crooks or just plain incompetent. Things are going to have to change big-time. Hope you get your money back!

You got my sympathy
The falling pound caught me too due to delays caused by useless lawyers. I already made a post about it earlier so I'll leave it at that.
