Fed up with Barclays Bank,Enfield, since they have got rid of the counter service. I had no trouble with a paying-in book, but have to pay in cheque on machine. Apparently according to the silly machine I write my 3's like an 8, so the cheque I wrote myself from OH for housekeeping and he signs (which I have been doing for years) gave me £800 instead of £300. Good result. They said don't worry as lady in the office checks everything and I had written three hundred pounds only in words. Well OH wasn't very pleased when it went out of his account. Got it sorted and it happened again, but I checked the receipt and got it cancelled straight away. I now put £299.99p. I went to bank to pay cheque in and it was OK apart from the fact I did it wrong once, put the cheque in the wrong way round, better go back to specsavers and machine recognised £299.99. Wanted help to cancel a direct debit, as Dogs for the Blind got fined £15,000 so I am not going to pay their fine, wanted it go to the dogs. Also wanted a statement, which I used to be able to get, but they have changed the way the machine works. Lady helped me after long wait, but she broke/jammed the machine (not me) and it took my card. Waited for man (who was very nice) to unlock the machine and he found 2 cards in there, only one was mine. Then I had to wait about 10 minutes whilst he took my card away to make sure there was no reason they had taken it. Then he had to reactivate it and I had sign that he had given it to me. Then we started again, told him not to go away as I needed help, everything was OK then. Bring back more people I say, it is difficult for me and old people don't want to do all this messing about. Still haven't received my Barclaycard I applied for (in case cat in animal hospital again), but got the pin number days ago. Thought I had better ring up and they said I should have received it last week, well I didn't, so they have cancelled it and will send me another. Went to Morrisons and actually used the self check out, as the tills were so busy, I hate self check outs, but realised that I had got two croissants and machine only changed me for one, but I really don't care as it was not deliberate. Well I am now a thief. I realise now that I am getting old and moaning, as the youngsters have no trouble with all this technical stuff. Rant over.
