UK webmasters, if you trust Halifax plc with your money, you are a FOOL.

And the same goes for Bank of Scotland. Let's see. They tried to steal several thousand pounds from me by "locking" my personal account so that I couldn't deposit, transfer, withdraw, write cheques, etc. What, am I just going to forget it and move on? Also, they tried to steal petty amounts of money from my account many times. Once, they transferred £50 from their branch in Manchester, to an account at the bank next door (I think it's Co-Op) for no reason whatsoever. I've never even been to the Manchester branch. My sister has also had money taken from her account a few times. They once charged her an overdraft fee, even though it was a banking error ON A BANK CHARGE that put her into overdraft in the first place. Insane charges, such as 8.50 per foreign cheque. Need I say more? Had I received decent service in exchange, I might not mind so much. But their staff are just plain clueless.

Bank of Scotland, affiliated with Halifax, are fucking monkeys. I filled out the forms for a new business account in addition to my existing account, sent them off with the required paperwork, and got the paperwork back a few weeks later, "we can't accept this" for no reason at all. I called them... they said it was a mistake, and to resend everything and it would all be taken care of. I did. 2 weeks later, everything returned to me. We played this game time and time over, until they finally returned my application because 3 months had passed and I "hadn't provided the necessary paperwork to proceed". Clowns.

Who should you trust?

Lloyds TSB treat their customers like GOLD.
