Crist man, im sorry to hear about that...i had trouble like that before, i know wut u went thru...

What a bunch of useless twats. Switch banks when its sorted.

I had alot of trouble with banks aswell - Natwest.

basically I wanted to get a switch card instead of a solo when i turned 18. Simply for the fact you can use it in more shops. I went in there to upgrade. I was told everything is fine and signed up for a new account. Over a month later i still had not recieved a new card. And started recieving Bank charges of £7 for an "Advantage Gold Account" of which i did not ask for. SO i go back to teh bank and ask what the hell is going on, getting charges for an account i cannot even use, and dont even have a card for. They said that they didnt know what had gone on and it appeared that i had applied for an advatage gold account. So i said no, i just want a friggin swicth card, i dotn care about an overdraft or cheque books or anything just a current account with a switch. Once again they said ok, thats fine we shall adjust your account and you should recieve youre card in the post shortly. A week later i recieve yet ANOTHER bank charge for £7. By this time im gettin a little pissed of and returned to teh bank with attitude. They told me that the they couldnt understand why i am still recieving bank charges, and that they wouldnt actually charge me and that i should still recieve my card very soon. Yes, they was right .. a few days later, i did recieve a card. A FUCKING SOLO CARD. I mean wtf. just wtf. This time i went back PISSED. At the time i was filling out forms, for example my PRS membership form (music society) and had to tip ex out the the accout details bit. and teh weeks of fuckin about delayed the submission of the form. I went back and asked what the deal was. They then said that they couldnt offer me a switch because i dotn have a credit rating or sumthing.... and that they would be taking a risk giving me a cheque book. Thats fair enough i said. But why the HELL couldnt you have told me this a month ago, and if this is the case why the hell did you sign me up for an advantage gold account in the first place.

Now ive closed all accounts with natwest and will never use them for my finances. That day i closed my account i went over to halifax where i was sent a switch card in 3 days of going in, and recieved a cheque book and a £1,000 overdraft.

i do belive cheques can be cashed at post offices, you'll need some id (passport, driveres license etc)

as to what bank ive had 10 happy years with natwest (and they where nice about overdrafts etc to) as your going to uni be sure to shop around and see what offers best freebies when joining hsbc do a 4 year young persons rail card which is rather nice natwest give away cd walkmans, and what offers the most flexiable intrest free overdraft to

Beware of killer hamsters and the random running dogs.

I've been with HSBC for 8 years now and had no problems with them as such, I only use my card to withdraw cash anyway, I refuse to get myself into credit card problems or anything, and i'll pay for anything in cash or if it needs a card my nana pays & I give her the cash,but sorry to hear that sam, it is a bit shit hun

You were lucky, I opened a student account (with HSBC, naturally) and had to wait 6 weeks and travel half the length of the country to get my new card!! And I'm still waiting for a cheque book....

Well kids, there's a lesson to be learned here: TA should have it's own bank.
