Hopefully you have learnt something from my wisdon. I do not expect a thank you. Just happy to know that you have taken everything in.EarthBoy said:
It's a shame that Barclays don't feel the same about you as the Co-Op Bank. It would have spared us your deluded ranting on this thread.xlnc99 said:
Co-Op are not a fan of me. I have applied before a few times and always get rejected. Dont want another hard search with them. Personally dont like them as a bank. £36 - how?xenial said:@xlnc99 did you look into the co-op current account with Everyday Rewards? To get £5.50/month in rewards with no fee, and get rid of the Barclays account that seems to be causing you so much grief?
PS. I'm currently getting £32 per month (£36 in rewards minus the £4 blue rewards fee) from Barclays. I've been getting this amount for 18 months now, and will get it for another 6 months or so. Just out of curiosity - does that seem a "fair" amount to you? Barclays to pay you for the privilege of having you as a customer?

Everything you have posted on this thread is utter gibberish. I am tempted to believe that you don't even believe any of it yourself, and that it's just a big wind up. In the event that you are actually serious, then you are in urgent need of psychiatric help.xlnc99 said:

Back to the main topic at hand - They came back to me with another secure message 7 days later and said 'call the bank'
The cheek of this lot. I called the bank was on hold for 4 hours before i gave up. I think i will admit defeat and suck it up. Barclays got me good on this one.0 -
put it in your diary for 6 or 9 months time and call them then0
