"A bank has apologised for mistakenly directing customers to a gay chat line for financial advice.

Halifax Share Dealing sent out 15,000 letters with the wrong contact number for an ISA hotline.

Customers dialling the hotline were greeted by disco music and a warned to hang up if under the age of 18.

Karen Collins, of Hall Green, Birmingham, says she called back twice thinking she had a wrong number.

Miss Collins told the Birmingham Evening Mail: "I wanted to discuss my ISA, not meet gay men. It's quite funny, especially as thousands of account holders will have this letter. Perhaps someone will find a date through it."

The Halifax is writing to account holders again to correct the mistake.

A spokesman said: "We are reviewing our proof reading procedure to ensure this does not happen again."
