Mr Clydesdale Banker

[caro]

Well done to tsugi for this excellent ditty that I'm sure we can all relate to.

Brilliant!

;)soooo funny, but perhaps hew should not advertise all the gear he has! Now where did all his money go???

[tsugi]

No gear - no more money coming in! Actually - all the money went on clients going bust (a couple of whom started up again within a fortnight as a different company).

 

Things wouldn't be half as bad if I had the £6000 or so Clydesdale have taken!

 

Further info - Bank charges in AUGUST are now at £525! God bless 'em. They called last Friday - three hours after I posted here about the song and video (the video is at nearly 1000 hits now), asked some questions and said they would get the claim 'dealt with' in five days. I don't know what 'dealt with' means (could just mean they say "Bog off. That's you dealt with"). We are now at five business days later, and I have heard nowt so far. I shall keep you informed. I've also written another letter to the branch, asking that they don't bounce things when they can see a cheque waiting to clear. The last £525 of charges were done with a cheque for £1100 waiting to clear. Cheque clears: cheque is now worth £600 or so!

 

More info as soon as. Do check out the video - the more views, the more I might get some action!

:Dgood luck

[tsugi]

Ta much!

I'm half expecting their "dealt with" to include a "remove that video" clause

[hilaryfrances]

:Dlol

[tsugi]

Really? I'm assuming "dealt with" will mean their ticking a box and saying: "We've done that one. He's getting nothing, but we can mark his claim 'dealt with' and file it in the giant warehouse from Raiders of The Lost Ark"

 

But perhaps I'm a bit too cynical after my dealings with them. I count a reply letter with an actual contact name as a major advance!

Recently I've seen a lot of big companies (mostly telecom companies) worry about their image online... Vodaphone and Orange have asked for stickies to be put in the telecom and mobile thread, someone else messaged a company thrugh twitter and got their problem solved. Maybe because when you google certain things ,CAG is getting high up on the list so they wanna cut down on the negative press? Also recently a big case against RBS the OP deleted all of his posts which I hope is a "we'll sort things out as long as you remove your posts from CAG" situation.

Or maybe they did away with him and got the cleaners in to hack the posts! No, wait - they are apparently so cack-handed with computers that such an action would be beyond them.
