Wednesday: Banks

Banks are in the news today, also in our lives. If our experience of Wachovia is anything to go by no wonder they have gone bust.
October: Set up bank account, very good. Got temporary check book.
December: collected check book. Got home found that they had made an error in our address (PO box number 1059, instead of 1095). Phoned and was assured of address correction and new checks.
Feb. Each received a letter from bank, now they had Sally’s PO box right, but the house number wrong. Also Terry’s house number right, but still the wrong PO Box.
Went to bank to collect new check book. They had corrected the PO box, but had the wrong house number and misspelled the name of the road! After a couple of attempts with the nice lady at the bank we eventually got it sorted out.
Scary thought that they are dealing with our money! Especially when I realized that each mistake they made with our address reduced the numbers in the address, hope they don’t do that to our money in the account!
