Paid my balance but....

[flossy_]

Cancelled Glasto ticket or £25 fee. Tough Choice

Dont have an overdraft is the best option.

[Nyika]

Well, the money hasn't left my account yet, fingers crossed...

Agreed with the Halifax thing, they are outright thieves and I'm moving to another bank after 25 years with them. £1 a day, no matter how much you are overdrawn?? I've been 50p overdrawn, not noticed and got charged £30!! Cheaper to use Wonga.com!! Disgusting fees...

I too have just shifted from the Halifax. I finally decided that more than 15 years of being treated like an idiot by them was probably enough!

In the interest of fairness and balance: The other banks are not much better. All banks operate policies to maximise charging from those who are least in a position to avoid them and it is a very telling fact that the outgoing labour government forced them, through law, to change their charging practices in order to protect those most in need.

I now make all payments manually and keep a strict control on my finances, in the last 2 decades a sizeable chunk of my income has been eaten by bank charges, which are a tax on poverty.

Banks are sharks. They will do whatever makes them the most money with zero consideration of anything beyond that, frequently disregarding the impact that has on people's lives, then they'll act like dicks with all the money they took off us and for some reason we are having to cover their losses.

Lmfao- no invention of coin = no glasto. (or ANY pop/rock music). - listen to you!!!!

As for banks- just play straight and they can't rip u off

Burn them, for all I care. I still state that the worst mistake the human race ever made was the invention of the coin (and also the last few queen albums)

Oops - ballsed that up didn't I ? ^

[Welsh.bluebird]

I was lucky that my mate that owed me £100 gave me the £100 i needed and i used it for my glastonbury ticket because i sure they said payments got to be paid by friday 11:59 and they moved it to thursday

[Madmark]

Phone Seetickets just to make sure, same thing happened to a friend of mine and it bounced and without phoning they would never off known til it would of been to late..

[LondonTom]

well the simple way to not get bitten by the charges is to not use their money?

People spend above their means that's what it boils down to a lot of the time, banks charge for using their money - i didn't say I agree with them

[TheGreenDropsRule]

But thats not that point, people don't want to use the banks money they would rather be informed they can't make that payment and can then borrow that quid of a mate and have it put into their account. Its not fair at all on any level especially the amount!

Thanks for the earlier advice! My mate ended up ringing see tickets, no money had gone from his available balance a couple of days after making the order...managed to pay over the phone! Hope that anyone else with similar stress gets their ticket sorted!

[Nyika]

They've taken the money!!!!

[Timme]

My payment hadn't gone through either so i checked on Seetickets and it said it was there but hadn't been processed. Gave them a ring about 20 mins later and got through to a guy who had a look and noticed it had just been processed around 3 mins after i checked. Talk about weird timings haha, but at least i'm officially there now!

I had to call See again today as money still in account. I paid just after 9am last Friday, they confirmed they had a authorisation so should be going out soon.

Called my bank and the authorisation only went on yesterday and there were no prior ones outstanding, (I called See yesterday to question why no money had left the account and they took the details again) Wonder what would have happened had I not called.............
