31 July 2007: GE Money - incompetance and downright lies

I came back from holiday to find my July credit card bill from GE Money. Not an amazing occurrence - such things happen all the time. This time was different for it featured a “Late Payment Charge” and a wad of interest. Which rather annoyed me, because I’d just set up a direct debit for the account so that every month, the full balance would be paid off. When it comes to credit cards, I’m the annoying person that the banks hate because I always - and I mean always - pay off my bill.

18 July 2007: Bouncing bugs

The end of last week saw the launch of yet another raft of BBCi changes that I’ve been involved with.

15 July 2007: And they wonder why we don’t like post offices

Last year I successfully managed to order about £200 worth of Norwegian Krone via the Post Office website, and then pick it up at the Post Office branch in the building next door to where I work. This year I can’t order anything online to pick up anything at the very same branch…
