I am a fucking shambles
My apologies to Jo and everyone else for my no-show today but due to a bank error I have been left with no funds for the rest of the month. So I cannot make it out for drinks.
I feel like a complete arse after helping organise this meet.
To anyone who went to Waverly to meet me I can only apologise.
I really am a fucking disaster!
I'm off to shoot myself...

Shit happens mate but I'd be hauling the bank over the coals for the error
Why should you have to suffer for their incompetence?
cheers

Perhaps it's something to do with the grand I have owed them for the last 6 years!

If its causing you financial hardship & the bank was at fault then they don't have the right to call for it all at once
If its accumulated over 6 years then it should be paid back over the same amount of time
I'd be heading straight to the financial/banking ombudsman if you haven't already done so

I'd advise you to find out where you stand legally via the ombudsman and then let them broker a deal thats FAIR with the Bank and not just a money grabbing exercise to boost the banks profits
The way banks go on about these smallish amounts(to them anyway)but then feel free to write of millions in Corporate bad debts because they know they can beat tie them up in court for decades is sickening
A lot of things Banks do wouldn't stand up on court,pure & simple
Once you call their bluff they always back down because of court costs
If they don't,you go to the ombudsman
