Commy 1 Barclays 0

Ohohohoho

This didn't happen to me today, but rather yesturday, but I've been busy/ clubbing/eating/sleeping etc

I went into Barclays bank, to talk to them about increasing my student overdraft.

They told me that I had to fill in a form to apply for it, and I asked for it (I already had one at home, I was hoping to be able to talk to someone about it, since I'm generally quite good at getting what I want face-to-face) and the woman handed me this form that looked different. I thought nothing of it.

I looked at it when I was outside.

I was shocked, by mistake, she'd given me the checklist that Barclays go through to approve someone for a student overdraft increase, with a guide on how to treat the answers.

I now know exactly how to fill in the form

HAHAHAHA! You, sir, are set. That's absolutely awesome

 

[Dekstar]

Maybe she fancies you....

EDIT: what am I saying? She fancies you.

/me expects a thread by CB with the title "Hey guys, check out my new ride! Rolls Royce ftw "

 

[Dekstar]

Probably increase in cash

Because he's garaunteed to get the increase.

But Badger, won't this just mean more debt later?

 

[Glirk Dient]

Take a picture...post it here!

Info like this is good to know...as it would most likely apply to other banks as well.

Hmm...or at least post a link to it that you may or may not have taken...I wanna see this dangit!

 

[ComradeBadger]

Yeah, but banks have grad programs so you pay it back over 7 years

So it's not crippling.

 

[Llama]

[kirovman]

Why not buy your old pal Kirovman a drink, Mr. Millionnaire?

 

[Llama]

Or me a Bentley...

 

[ComradeBadger]

I only get and extra £800, and I've gotta live on it

 

[Solaris]

Upload please? I know a few people who could benifit from it.

QFT, I'm looking forward to a 0% overdraft next year and I could use the form

 

[ComradeBadger]

I don't have a scanner/camera :|

I'll see what I can do. Oh, and remember, if you aren't a first year student it's useless to you

 

[kirovman]

I went to my bank a month after I graduated, and they said "oh would you like an interest free overdraft?"

I get £2000 overdraft for the 1st year after graduating, £1000 the 2nd year, and £500 the 3rd year.

Not that I'm likely to use it at all.

Figured

EDIT:

Kirov, take that money out and whack it in an ISA. Won't cost you anything and you'll generate interest on money that isn't yours

 

[$kelet0r]

post that info here now - thats an order commy :0

 

[evil^milk]

i don't know how i failed to foresee a bunch of guys asking for the info

 

[marksmanHL2 :)]

Nice one mate.

 

[ComradeBadger]

jondy, the ISA trick comes under illegal use of the funds, if you get caught you can be royally ****ed by the banks

My two-account trick is legit though :E

(1 building society current account, 2 student accounts)
