Clocks Wrong -- Complain & They'll Close Your Account!
I used to live in Salisbury and had a current account here. Problem was their clocks were running up to 5 minutes fast, so they would close their doors 5 minutes prior to their published closing times. I complained. They said their clocks were regulated by signals sent from head office, which were clearly wrong. They also said that I was on their premises after closing time and thus a 'security risk'; they even threatened to call the police as I was on the inside doormat, about to depart, having concluded my normal business.
The staff are clearly psychopathic with no respect for time, customers or even retaining business. They closed my account, which had been run within the rules, uneventfully. I even wrote to their CEO, Fred 'The Shred' Goodwin, who sided with his staff, at all times IGNORING the fact that their clocks were wrong. I walked to Barclays Bank nearby and opened a current account there; they have provided good service to this day. An appalling attitude by Natwest from the foyer to the boardroom. Why would anyone want to bank with such a dreadful firm when respectful alternatives are available?
