Worst bank?

JuicyJesus

I went to the Colostomy and Catheter Bank to open a current account (slogan: "You'll cry with glee at C and C") and they absolutely insisted on calling my doctor and telling them I had ebola. Then they called the police and told them that I had "waved a gun around and then done something horrible to a frozen chicken in their branch, oh god there are bones everywhere" when in actual fact all I had done is ask to withdraw some money to go on my holiday. When I pointed this out they kicked me in the balls, good thing the police marksmen shot me because that distracted me from the pain.

Still better than NatWest.

My worst ever experience with a bank was with TSB around the time they were upgrading their IT systems, clearly there is a particular reason why my experience was particularly bad but I have since switched to another provide and am much happier for it!

I played it out differently, I called them out asking !!!!!! is wrong with their system, I could not send a transfer (for n-th time). They made me aware of the situation and quickly I was transferred to the manager. Without me asking for it, they offered me cash compensation of £150 which I accepted, I was on the line for 30 minutes, I guess it was worth it. Maybe they didn't wanted to lose another customer (I've been with them for 12 years now).

How long did you have between closing and opening again to get the reward?

The usual term seems to be 2 years from the date of the promo launch.

I wanted to apply last year but the T's and C's stated I mustn't have had an HSBC account since October 2017.

When I checked again after their immediate re-launch around new year it now stated that I mustn't have had an account since the 1st of January 2018.

When did my account officially close? ... the 30th of December 2017. :D:D
