Thanks for the tunes Sandra!
I've had a ****** nightmare trying to buy this car.
I sold my old car privately nearly 2 weeks ago, so I've been begging and borrowing when I can to make it through, and yesterday the time came for me to pay up! So I went into the dealer, signed some stuff, and tried to pay via debit card. Queue the security alert and automated phone call from the bank asking me if I've tried to pay £loadsamoney in the last 5 minutes. I say yes, ring them up, and get told that the payment was denied.
Fine, I say! Can they do it for me? No.
Can I do a BACS transfer over online banking? No. Not that much money.
Can I do it via telephone banking? Yes if I had the details. I don't.
My only option is to go into a branch and do it personally! I wish I'd known it'd have been such a PITA to pay for it in the first place, because I'd have made sure I'd had it all in place!
So I went into a branch of my bank during my lunch hour today, and transferred the money over. Now I'm just waiting for Sunday; I feel like I've really earned this car now!
