Funny accounting

[Teamedup]

I've recently taken internet banking with my french bank for the first time.

On Tuesday I arranged for my usual sum to be sent back to the UK and I was given the debit slip.

Today, the 28th and two days later my account has still not been debited, so I called my branch.  Yes they said, 'when' it goes through it will go through on the 26th, but it hasn't yet.

 

As a former bank clerk and someone who always worked in accounts, we were not allowed to play with things like this. The days work would be balanced and that was it.

 

Funny accounting, well it has always been the same with all the french banks I have had dealings with and it never instills me with any confidence in them.
