Howdi Folks
Long Time Fan Fkofilee Here....
Heres one for the books. Went into Barclay's to ask for a standard current account with their Chequebook and Contactless Card Facility.
The Sales Guy; Manish.... In all his glory, went through the application and there wasnt a problem. And he tries his usual contents insurance sale ^__^, which i decline as Im not interested.
Now i leave the branch with my Sort Code & Account Number, But Before I Leave I Ask About The Cash Card Account.
He says its a normal account and no charge.
I get home and I speak to CS regarding this and they say the following;
- No Overdraft
- No Contactless Debit Card
- No Chequebook
- Debit Card Is Limited
And the cheek of it is , the guy ive just spoken to has just tried to sell me Contents Insurance Again?!?!?!?
Under what terms do i have the right to challenge this as a mis-sell as I specifically requested a Standard Current Account.
He Hadnt advised me a credit check had been run and also didnt say that I had been accepted only for a Cash Card Account?
(Its almost like i should assume XYZ when applying for certain things).
Luckily for me I'm quite knowledgeable about internal processes and can see how its done but shouldn't they make clear to me that certain things cannot be offered to me?
