Had to share tis financial news with you

[BeardyMan]

Simple resolution to this. I did exactly the same thing with Abbey National as they wouldn't let me take money out of my account (said it had to be more than £600 at a counter, and I didn't want anywhere near that)

So when I asked for the amount I wanted and they refused I asked for the manager, then I closed my account and got all my money in cash. Then I walked round the corner to a different bank, provided all of my ID etc, deposited my funds with them and awaited the arrival of my new bank card and cheque book. Direct debits are simple to change over to new account.

It's my money, I'll take however much I want whenever I feel like it. Any issues and I'll just find a different institution to bank with.
