I'm not one of these angels that checks off every single thing I buy against my statements.. so I really do feel sorry for you as you probably expected that money to have come out of your account ages ago..

Why do people have to instantly slate someone for not checking their account properly.. in this day and age there are hundreds of transactions a month on your account, and some people simply do not have the time to check everything off like an accountant..

Stop being so hard on him.

The OP's bank account is in a position where he is operating within a gnat's crotchet of his limit. I he can't be bothered keeping a simple record of what he's spent then I have little sympathy.

I do keep a close watch on what I've spent and whether it has hit my account. It takes me about an hour a month. Perhaps that's why I don't go overdrawn any more:rolleyes: .

The OP should see it as a lesson learned.

m/s money is the one. I use it every time I make a transaction and I know to the nearest £ how much I have left in my account. A difficult lesson op but we all learn from our mistakes

Its easily avoided by keeping a higher account balance. I know it's easy to say but it's a better bet than running the risks by running from redline to redline every month. As you've found you will slip up.:money:

Cylonebri,

I found your last post quite patronising...... some people have to live on the breadline to survive and don't have 'spare' cash to keep the account higher as you suggest.

Well they need to ask themselves if they can really afford to run a car, if that is the case.

Sorry, not intended to be patronising, more the voice of experience, BUT, what could be simpler than keeping £100 in front? As Inactive said in a roaund about way, if you own a car you have to be able to fund the unexpected let alone the expected fuel bill.

Simple solution keep in front not behind then these issues will not arise:cool:
Edited I did say "It's easy to say" to avoid your comments

Even better use a cash back credit card.

I prefer using cash at filling stations, there are far too many cases of fraud that seem to start at filling stations, I simply don't trust them.

I do use a cash back CC for other uses.

Our nearest Asda petrol station only uses cards. It's self-service. Good luck trying to get petrol if you only have cash.

I don't put Supermarket petrol in my car, I don't shop at Asda either, so safe there.
