Little white lie lol

Went to pay my Capital one visa at the Halifax and they said I couldn’t pay it here.
Went to Barclays and they said no problems as long as I have an account with them.
I said I had an account with Barclays? but I don’t.
How many have told that little white lie to avoid paying a fiver?????
And do you get little voices saying your naughty?????
I'm not poor i'm just skint

    You went to a bank to pay a bill.

    Didn't realise people still did that in the internet age.

    Well I phoned up Capital one to pay by direct debit and they said because my wife was on the card as well? They had to send me a form out!
    I couldn’t understand why they couldn’t set it up there and then?
    Well I get really busy sometimes and forget little things like direct debits.

    I've forgotten what the inside of a bank looks like! I spend so much of my time with my head inside a computer monitor :eek: and also, as I bank with First Direct and Smile, which are both internet banks, I really see no need to enter a physical bank. Oh yeah, did go inside one once....years ago LOL :rotfl:

    Whats the point even asking you if u have an account if there gonna let you pay? surely there cant be any come back once they have accepted payment?
