I am getting closer to having the accounts closed at Barclays.
As I posted previously, the Euro account was incorrectly converted into sterling, leaving 26 pence in the account. that meant they could not close it until I gave them written directions for its disposal.
So that money was given to some charity (or more likely, just the silly admin cost of dealing with 26 pence).
But then, just as the accounts were being closed, Barclays paid 3 pence interest into one of the accounts.
So 2 were closed, but alas the third could not be.
Because the 3 pence went into a different account than the account which had dealt with the 26 pence, this account requires its own new set of written instructions, to dispose of the 3 pence. And then it can be closed.
Arggh.
