I am really p**sed off.

I havent been at work recently, because of the accident with my stepdad that some of you may of read about. Anyway, my september wages were meant to go into my new account with Halifax that i opened at the beginning of sep.

So i rang them fri 28th, confirming they had gone in, they said yes.

Go in on Tues, some 18 year old spotty geek told me they wern't in my old account, or new, and the money wasn't in.

Obviously i was like what? and had it out with him, and he said i hadnt even activated the account.

 

At this point i was worried because i know my work do payroll once a month, at the end of the month, and i had set my direct debits up to come out the new account for the end of October, and it takes 7 days to issue a card and stuff.

 

I came into work today, and my boss told me that the money went in and hasnt bounced back.

So i ring the bank, they check everything and it is in my NEW account and has been since the 28th!!!

 

I cant draw it out without my passport at a branch, and i get my card in 7 days (probably 2 weeks considering the postal strike) so i am screwed, as i cant get down to a branch.

 

Sorry, but i am annoyed lol

i have the car insurance coming out each month, and luckily i didnt set it up to come out this month from the new account.

 

I just wonder how he failed to read a screen properly, to tell him the money was in? Are people that stupid!

Rant over.......Lol
