I feel the need to rant... my credit-card magically disappeared from my on-line banking do-hicky this morning. I phoned the good people at HSBC (who were actually rather helpful) and it turns out that they don't know what the matter is but they'll fix it in 48 hours. Which is all well and good but there's stuff I need to check up on in those 48 hours....
[At this point I received a phone call, wow real time blogging]
I'm told that there's a problem with my account and to please ring back (because they can't put me through when they're ringing me) and ask to speak to credit services. After being put on hold and explaining to several different people I get put through to someone with a bizarre sounding voice (they may have been a robot) and eventually told that I'd asked for my account to be closed because it was opened in error. I did not ask for my account to be closed, it was not opened in error. I was further pissed off because every other sentence the person insisted on asking 'how're you today Mr. Rogers?'. Anyways, they can't help me over the phone so now I have to go and speak to someone in my local branch. I have important stuff waiting to be paid off on this card...
... I feel the need to buy a sword and claim bloody vengeance, but can't because I have no credit card, so fuck you HSBC, fuck you!
