I had a bizarre conversation with someone from the Halifax this afternoon, Im not whinging and there is a point to it.
I got a call from a Halifax person, all the usual stuff, like am I speaking to the correct person, I toyed with them for a while 'cos I was in a perverse mood, stuff like me saying can you give me your postcode and whats your mothers maiden name , dob etc .. the poor bloke on the phone was getting a wee bit warm undeer the collar !
Eventually the conversation got round to money , you need to make a payment of .. £170 can you do it .. errr no, how about £50 ... err nope , look if you dont pay us something we will just take it out of your account ... yeah ok how much is in my account then.... you only have £5 .. ( I emptied it this morning ).. silence .. I put him out of his misery , told him that I was had notified them that I was in financial difficulty, was talking to PayPlan, had looked at DMP & IVA and that I have already got an appointment with the court to see if I can go BR .. The Halifax guy was really nice, sympathised, and said he could understand why I had been a bit perverse, asked me to keep them up to speed and wished me well....
See the financial folk aren't all bad .
cheers
