A Bunch of Bankers...

I went to get money out of the bank yesterday, only to discover that I had about £80 less than I should have!

Went by the bank at dinnertime, and found out why...

I'd been charged £60 for 2 cheques coming out at the same time that made me go over my overdraft limit - £30 per cheque! However, as I pointed out to the adviser, no matter which order the 2 cheques came out in, only the 2nd one actually put me over the limit - so why had they charged me for BOTH?

After an hour spent in the bank, I eventually got £30 back... big wow!

I won't name and shame... this time... but I'll check my bank statements a lot more carefully from now on!
