Disgusted with Post Office

Blimey trying to pay everything by cash since OH is going bankrupt and went to pay a small amount to close one of my catalogues and i usually pay online but this time cos we have stopped using our overdrawn account i went to Post Ofiice and they charged me £2.20 as their standard fee:mad: , she did say that is the standard fee, anyone else come across this?

You could pay it at your bank for free (overdrawn or not).

:eek: Didn't think of that, feel a real silly billy now.

But starting as i mean to go on and am making a break from the past and our old account which is just sitting there overdrawn now. Mind you reckon i could've gone in there to save £2.20 though:D

Onwards and upwards

I posted a similar message a while back PP. Same thing happened and i was furious.
£2.20 is extreme. It seems to be a habit that they penalise you for using something called 'cash'.
I also am getting penalised for paying my phone bill with cash, rather than DD. grrrrrrrrrr

Slightly off subject but i friend of mine went to i think it was carphone warhouse to buy a phone and they refused cash - said she could only pay with a credit card!!!!!!

Is cash not legal currency anymore????? lol

The Post Office have been doing this for a while now. That's why I go to paypoint outlets, they don't seem to charge. When I remember, I pay my electricity and water with a paypoint card.
