Well done! :beer:hi, many thanks to all those who have helped me with your advice...
But All those who made stupid remarks about me, you are not going to like this....
"BARCLAYS HAVE CREDITED MY ACCOUNT WITH £19K ON SATURDAY....!!!"
they said, it was internal error and nothing to do with anything else, and have also apologised.
and to put records straight, i never said, i saved £1k from Child Benefit but rather and i quote from my First Post ever on this forum, go back and check for yourselves:
"- on 19th Jan 09, I had nearly £19k of CLEARED funds in my Barclays current account (£10.5k as cash deposits at Barclays, £8.2k as transfer from my Natwest A/C, £200 from Paypal and the rest from Child Benefits)
" which means approx £100....!!!
I was honest from the beginning thats why i got my money back and because some people here gave me extremely valuable advice and i acted upon that advice so BIG THANKS to all of them .....
BYESince when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.0
