Dear Barclays ...

... how I long for the day when I can close down the account that used to be my father's. Because, really, it's not necessary to keep me on the phone for 30 mins and try to sell me insurance / credit cards / loans / payment protection etc when all I am requesting is an overdraft extension to cover the period between Plymouth City Council taking some money* and Plymouth City Council paying it all back.

In retrospect, it would probably have been easier just to leave it as an unauthorised overdraft.

*my fault, as cancelling standing orders was low on my list of priorities after my father's death.

I feel your pain. So similar to my own, after all. Annoyed, indeed.

Congrats (and sympathy) re: the job, btw. I hope it is worthy of you.

No, because then the buggers will just suck you dry with bank charges.
