"The rules seemed to change, and they told me it had to be one word, so I tried 'censorship', but they didn't like that, and then said it had to be no more than six letters long."

Can't be more than six letters? Bo**ocks! My OH's online banking with Lloyds TSB uses a password a lot longer than six letters. And I thought these things were set up so that even employees of the organization couldn't find out customers' passwords.

We had a BDM in from Lloyds today - he stood outside for 10 minutes, then phoned us and asked how to get into the building. We thought he needed directions from the car park so started giving directions, he interrupted with "no, actually get in the building, I'm standing outside"

... erm... you see that bronze coloured knob on the door you are standing in front of - called a door handle - have you tried turning it?

"oh"

love it rofl

top marks to the bloke and the Lloyds person that changed it to "No it's not". Pity the second Lloyds person didn't have a sense of humour!

Perhaps he thought that was his reflection in the glass.

I was with Lloyd's for over 25 years, but they turned into a bunch of clowns a year or so back, and exhibited so much incompetence I moved to HSBC. First they'd doubled my credit card interest rate for no reason anybody there could explain, then they shunted me from person to person as they tried to sort out what had happened.

The final joke was on them,as I made an official complaint, and several of the twunts sent me cheques for £50, as 'compensation' for inconvenience, apologising profusely, and asking if I would reconsider leaving them. Strange, as I had shut the show down and moved on several months before the cheques rolled in.

I can't think what I did to offend them into forcing me out. Good credit, always paid my dues, rarely overdrawn, never tried to claim anything back if I did incur a penalty. We still have a mortgage with them, and at 4.9% fixed for 7 years, I'm not moving that in the near future. biggrin

Reminds me of this:

The Times said:
In 1995, Michael Howerd, a marketing consultant from Leeds, was charged £20 by his bank for a £10 overdraft excess. He got into a furious row with the bank and then went to a solicitor and changed his name by deed poll to Yorkshire Bank plc Are Fascist bds. He said, “I have 69p left in my account and I want the bank to return it by cheque in my full new name”.


They did.

And they probably laughed long and heartily at the dick head who had gone to all that trouble and made such a prat of himself over 20 squid.

Said bank in question kindly moved my address to my estranged hubbies addy. when he left. mr ? moved so Mrs must have gone with him ( didnt bother to check.)
i had to suffer further embaressment of having visa/credit card debits refused etc. as i then lived according to them at an unqualifiying address. Even though i had not moved. They tried to sort it all out and wrote to me at estranged hubbies addy.
they sent him my personal information card details and pin no's..
bearing in mind we were going through a very accrimonious divorce.
it took 3 months to correct their errors.
i kicked up a huge big stink. got compensation for my embaressment and forced them to change procedures.
