    If you put 141 before the geographical number to phone cust services, they don't knor where you're phoning from

    Thanks iomexico - I was roundly told off last time I phoned A&L for using their real phone number ("for people in Overseas Emergencies Only!", I was told by the indignant call centre chimp).

    But - please forgive stupid question(!) - is it possible to use 141 and 18866 together..?

    Not a stupid question at all! Yes, it is possible. Dial 141 then 18866 then the number.

    I found that if you don't use 141 the number won't connect. I tried 141 and got through and still got a rollicking for using this number and told to ring the 0845 "lets make money out of you" number! :mad:

    He won't! As of 28 October he is no longer the Chairman. The new chairman is a guy by the name of Sir Derek Higgs.

    Let's give him a few nice letters to welcome him to his new post :D
  • Too late - the letter's in the post. But I'm in no doubt that I'll be sending a few more - so thanks for the up to date info.
  • OMG!!!!!!!

    I actually got a response from A & L this afternoon. They have finally said that the interest payment of £48.01 they owe us will be in our a/c tomorrow. But as we have had so much trouble with them they will, as a gesture of goodwill up this payment to £60 to cover phone calls etc. Not much in respect of the hassle they have caused, but hey free money is free money!

    Let's see if this actually materialises tomorrow! :wall:

    Doesn't matter now as they've p***ed me off that much now I am going to swap to Lloyds TSB once I've got me money. :hello: Bye bye A & L may you annoy everyone else and not me again!

  • :T Well Well Well! Now there's a surprise, nothing in our account!
