Scribblings from the Mitchy Side

Bloody Capital One!

So I spoke to the Collections Department last week, explained I couldn't keep paying large lump sums every month, and asked to set it up so that I paid smaller amounts every week. Certainly, they said, no problem. Although they did keep asking me if I could pay more when I'd made it clear £50 per week was the limit, I let them off.

Go to check my bank balance this morning and the ******** have taken £261 out of my account. Apparently, ringing up and saying I can't afford lump sums and please let me pay smaller amounts weekly DOESN'T MEAN that I want my monthly direct debit cancelled....

There are no words. Or rather there are, but I'm restraining myself. I have company :P

But it's ok, apparently, I can ring up on Monday when its cleared my credit card account and get the money paid back in to my bank. So now, with a balance of -£25, I get to enjoy my long weekend. Thanks guys. And having said all that to the stupid person on the phone, do you know what he asked? "So would you like to make another payment today?"

RARRRRRGH!!!! KILL MAIM FRAG!

OK, I'm calm now :P I shall soothe myself watching the furball maul his new plague rat toy and slurping tea and chatting to therealsherbs, who has arrived safely from deepest, darkest Wales. Well ok, she lives on a mountain, maybe "deepest" isn't entirely apt, but I'm reliably informed that it was very, very dark this morning at stupid o'clock when she left :)
