    Lloyds TSB are getting weird... Now that I've got a 'spensive phone I want insurance... Three would sell it to me for £10 a month. Had a look on LTSB site and they do it.

    Weird thing is they let me upgrade to a Gold account on my online banking and said my Gold debit card will be with me soon... What? I thought I had a CPD?

    Strange folk, LTSB. I'll post up a pic when the card arrives :o


    Did you try for an overdraft online too? Maybe worth a shot, because they wouldn't upgrade you to Gold if you still had that CPD surely.

    Natwest credit card gone... they don't do much to try and keep you do they!? O2 and co you've really gotta fight with! He asked the reason and when I said because my limit is £350 and they won't put it up he was like "ok, that's fair enough".

    Now just got to wait before I can reapply...


    Natwest are useless. Don't bother with them.

    Nop, that's still been declined!

    Weirdos. Can't wait 'till April so I can jump ship to a real bank.

    Don't blame you. You farted around enough with those Muppet's. If it was me, I'd make sure it was taken off on principle, because they promised they would.

    I think I'm going to wait for the Gold debit card to arrive and then downgrade back to Classic :p

    Mobile insurance might be good value from LTSB but I feel loathed to buy any services from them when they treat me like a deadbeat skint flint who always incurres charges and spends more time over their overdraft limit than in credit :mad: Maybe I should run my account more sloppily and they'll lift the CPD?

    Haha, they've given me 2 full accounts though, A&L are shocking by the sounds of it and Halifax don't want to take me.

    If I wait until the start of next year I could probably get away with applying for 2 on the same day... Natwest normal card and if they decline me then go for Halifax current account (to build up an internal rating there)

    Since 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.
