Not a happy hedgehog: credit card saga

[oursin]

Last month when I got my credit card statement, it was clear that they had not received my cheque the previous month. I checked with my bank, who confirmed that it had not been debited to my account, and my conclusion was 'Bastard Post Office'. I therefore immediately posted off a cheque, inclusive of late fee, interest, etc.

Rather over a week

*sympathy* The banks are infuriating. Am baffled that they treat the people whose a/cs are in credit with them so very dismissively.

I have a credit card account in Ireland, and without fail, any time the vagaries of trans-Atlantic post mean one monthly payment gets there in five days and the next in ten, they send a heavy-mob letter when the interval passes 31 days; this despite numerous verabl assurances that they can handle this, and more letters laying out the situation than I care to count. Idiots.
