and they did it again.

Remember when I wrote about this?
Oh yeah, and this too?

Well, yes, yes I shit you not, they have done it again.
This time with a reference to confirm I have money entering my account each month.

As you know the hubs and I are about to rent a flat.  We've paid the money, signed the agreement, and all we need now are the references.
Every reference has been perfect until my bank entered into the equation.
They are currently the last string on the rope that is holding this package together, and that string my friends is about to snap.  and as it snaps it will hit me in the face and I'll most likely see red.

Instead of confirming to the estate agent that I have money entering my account each month to cover the joint claim of a rental, the bank have written back with this -

"From the information we have available, we are unable to confirm the customer would be able to meet the commitment you are suggesting"

My head?  It imploded.

Invisible, Imaginary money?  I has it!

After 7 phone calls, and a lot of civilised ranting and complaining. I have been told that my complaint has now been escalated.  It will take 5 working days to confirm they know about my complaint, and then they will investigate.
I move in 17 days.
17.
1.7.
17.
SEVENTEEN!!!

The last string, it is wearing out, and with it my patience, and my sanity and my ability not to go into the tool shed, grab a shovel and beat the crap out of someone.
(last sentence for imagery only, not actually going to happen!)

I've done all I can do now.
This blows.
LloydsTSB, you blow too. 

Bite Me.
