Hi,
to do with the meeting, with the unshave man, at Barclays Bootle, last week.
(Like I explained about, in the forwarded e-mail).
I now remember, that he said, something like:
‘There’s no _avenue_, that leads to an overdraft, for your acount’.
(Something like that).
I thought that perhaps was a bit strange use of the word ‘avenue’,
(instead of e.g. ‘way’).
Could he have been mocking me, (or something like that), since my
address is 10 Keith Court, Keith _Avenue_, (in Walton, Liverpool).
Just something I thought about.
Regards,
Erik Ribsskog

Subject: Complaint about Barclays/Fwd: Complaint/Fwd: Property in Norway
To: “complaint.info” <complaint.info@financial-ombudsman.org.uk>
Hi,
to do with this mortage, that I’m trying to get, on my property, in Norway.
I was at Barclays in Walton, on Monday.
They told me to go to Barclays in Bootle or Lord Street, to speak with
a mortage-advisor.
So I went to Barclays Bootle, on Tuesday.
There I got to speak with Paula Farrell.
(About an apointment with a mortage-advisor).
But I wanted to complain a bit here.
I explained in the meeting, that I was there a bit late, because I
couldn’t find the branch, at first.
(They have a big shopping-centre there).
And then Farrell said: ‘Were tucked away at the front’.
I thought she was being sarcastic.
And then she told me to tell someone that I went to the meeting with
the mortage-advisor next week.
What’s that supposed to mean?
Was it a threat or something?
Why would I need to tell someone I was going to a meeting at the bank.
This I wanted to complain about, since this could seem like a threat, I think.
Also she asked about my new mobile-number twice.
Which I thought was to many times.
Also I went back there today, (Thursday), regarding an overdraft.
Then Farrell wasn’t there.
But an unshaven blond man, sat there, and asked me what I wondered about.
I explained that I had given Farrell the wrong answer about my
Barclays-account, on Tuesday.
Because when I wondered about an overdraft.
(Since the Jobcentre are messing with me, so that I almost starve to death).
Then I answered it wasn’t a student-account.
(Because I wondered if I could have an overdraft for graduates, that
I’ve read about, some time ago.
Since I’ve now gotten my degree, from Norway, in 2009).
I told the blond man, that my Barclays-account was initially a student-account.
(But that the meeting with Farrell was mostly about the mortage.
So I managed to remember wrong, about the Barclays account).
I had also brought with me, the business-card, of the Barclays staff,
in Sunderland, (Neville J. Anderson), that I spoke with, about a
bank-account, in 2004, when I studied, at the University of
Sunderland.
(Since I’ve had that card in my wallet, since then, by chance, I think
one have to say).
And then the clerk said there was no way I could have an overdraft.
I think that’s strange, that I can’t have an overdraft, for graduates,
when I’ve now gotten my Høgskolekandidat-degree, from Oslo University
College, (in IT).
And also, why don’t their staff shave, I was wondering.
That’s strange in custommer-facing-role, I’d say.
When I served my conscription-service, in the Norwegian Army, in 1992/93.
We were told we eighter had to have no beard or a full beard.
Nothing inbetween was considered ‘kosher’, (as I remember it).
I guess working in a bank, as an advisor like that, could be compared
with representing a country’s army.
At least I thought it was a bit strange, that the Barclays-staff have
a three day beard, like we call it, in Norway.
(Like Richard Gere, in Pretty Woman, I guess).
Farrell also asked me if I had any days I couldn’t have the meeting.
And then she asked me if Friday was ok.
And then she changed it to Friday next week.
And then she didn’t answer when I wanted to have the meeting later than 10 AM.
So I wanted to complain about that Barclay Bootle aren’t good at
custommer-service.
Thanks in advance for any help with this!
Yours sincerely,
Erik Ribsskog

Hi,
I was a bit in a hurry at the library yesterday, so I didn’t notice
that you called me ‘Sir/Madam’.
It’s an insult that you call me Madam I think.
This I wanted to complain about.
Weren’t RBS supposed to be sold to Santander.
When is this sale going to happen, I was wondering.
The sooner the better, I hope.
