Bank sorry for 'insult' cash card
A high street bank has said sorry to a customer after sending him a debit card containing the words "Dick Head".
NatWest said it had launched an inquiry after Chris Lancaster, 18, of Tiptree, Essex, received a cash card with the wording: "Mr C Lancaster Dick Head".
A NatWest spokesperson said on Wednesday: "We have apologised unreservedly to Mr Lancaster."
The spokesperson added: "This is completely unacceptable and we have launched an investigation."
The Solo card was a replacement for one Mr Lancaster had lost.
He said he saw the insulting words as he was about to hand over his new card to pay for goods in a supermarket and was so embarrassed he put the card back in his wallet.
As well as apologising, he said NatWest had promised to pay him compensation.

whoa! Disappearing post!!
Yeah, personal injury is different, you'll get money grubbing gimps with no personal responsibility anywhere. But stuff like this you don't need to sue, most of the time the compnay knows they've stuffed up big time and will compansate you because of it

just because hes getting compo doesnt mean that hes actually sue'ing, they probably offered it him on their own back.
