apparently nearly two thousand cash machines went down over the weekend belonging to barclays.
barclay cards wouldn't work in other banks machines either.
on a holiday weekend!
thousands left without the means to do what they wished ...
anyone suffer?
scary this digital money i think.
call me old fashioned but theres nowt like having a few pieces of eight stuffed in your matress.

Those fuckers deserve all the grief they can get.
I HATE Barclays :mad:
Seriously.
got cashback ok - i try not to use H.I.W now, afraid of cloning.
what on easter sunday?
yeh i tried to get some money out but couldn't. managed though.
Yup. No respect these days.
bit of an insight as to what happened
Am never using a Barclays machine again since I tried to lift £300 before I went on hols last month and the damn machine fuct up on me. Am still waiting on them refunding my £300. When I reported the fault they weren't even apologetic.. said the machine is often playing up and it happens all the time. Not much help when am £300 out of pocket..
Their machine stole £80 from me when I was in England (peanuts compared to you, really) and when my dad rang to hear why the money hadn't been transferred back to my account as they promised me they hung up on him! Had to contact my own bank here, so they could reclaim the money through a legal procedure.
Fuckers.
Seriously. Everyone - Boycot them forever.
they scare me.
ok i've scared them a couple of times but you know what i'm saying.
Thousands, possibly millions of long-suffering customers of Barclays couldn't get their money out over the weekend. Penalised for their bank's failure. So, will the bank now be punished? Will they now use some of the millions of pounds they make in profits to fix whatever went wrong with the system?
Don't hold your breath. You know what to do. Hit the bank where it hurts.
Exactly. And that is why I am trying to prevent people from using Barclays. As they have fucking crap costumer service, and you can't run a buisness like that.
Although what i thought he ment was don't use the shitty bank your complaining about, switch to another one or whatever.
Now i'm 18 they let me have a debit card/internet banking/overdraft and all that jazz, although i don't dare get an overdraft cause i'll just tempt myself. I'm not to fussed about anything, for my my bank is really just a 'money holder'.
Although when i have a query/want some thing their customer service has always been really good.
When I phone them up I always have someone answer straight away and normally any problems are resolved in about 3 minutes
if it wasn't they aint offering anything else at the mo.
could it be criminal?
I guess it's possible but I don't know shit about what they'd do to cause the crash or how. But the amount of power hackers and fraud criminals have these days is quite worrying so I wouldn't put it past them...
