Four letters through my letter box on Saturday.
Letter one. Mortgage unpaid for three months, can I call NatWest. I panicked like mad knowing there was plenty of money in the account. Just swopped banks and my new bank had not transfered all my standing payments over. Old bank RBS, new bank NatWest!! Guy on the line then offered me help from citizens advice.:mad:
Letter Two. Tesco Bank re my credit card, I'm £960 over my limit. Another call to be told 'nope, nothing wrong here'. This I knew as I'd just paid off my card in full. Another computer error.:mad::mad:
Letter Three. EDF energy. Now I'm not with them anymore and when I moved I had to pay off in full all outstanding bills. So a bill for £317 was unexpected. Even better it was estimated. The guy on the other end of the phone wondered why I was not in a good mood.:mad::mad::mad:
Letter Four. My season ticket for The Albion (Brighton). The world looks really good again.:j
