Is it any wonder that they ruined the world economic system.

My 24 hours.

Intelligent Finance, a branch of Halifax, send me a letter saying “oops, we’ve forgotten to send you your annual statement. Here it is, from November 2007.”

And the Cooperative Bank, trying to sort out a little snafu, has been ringing me non-stop for days. Or at least their machine has, and the first thing it does is ask me to enter my birth date – then presumably, if I did that, it would ask me for further private data.

Such a great thing to train your customers to do – give away their personal details to a machine call. Is the Coop actually employed by Phishing-R-Us, I wonder?
