Arrgghh! Stupid bank!
I have two accounts with my bank, and they're interconnected.Two weeks ago I cancelled the debit card on one, because I got paranoid about Amazon. No problem, Ms Ellis, we'll issue you a new one and you'll have it within 5 working days. Two weeks later and the card isn't here, in the mean time I've been using the debit card on the second card. Today I called the bank to say that the replacement card hadn't arrived. No problem, they say, we'll cancel the card we ordered and order you a new one to go straight to the bank branch, that'll keep it safe. That'll take 5 working days. Wonderful.
So this evening I toddled to the atm to get out a little money, and...yes...that's right...those idiots have cancelled the card for the second account. So now I have no debit cards. I can go into the branch tomorrow with two forms of ID and a statement and plead my case. The new card will be with me in...5 working days.
I'm betting right now that they've managed to order cards for the same account.
Idiots!
P.A.T.T.O.T.E better living through fewer idiots who work at banks!
ReplyDeleteBanks are evil. I speak as one who is currently trying to obtain a credit card from Absa, who apparently work on their own special form of African time.
