Well, They’ve Managed To Do It Again…….

I have come to my wits end with Vancity.  Not only have I been having problems with them taking my insurance payments out of my account on the correct date, they have now processed a post-dated cheque that I wrote, 5 days before the date that was written on the cheque.

A lady who I work with had an  Epicure  party last Monday.  I ordered a few things at the party, like $40 worth of products, and wrote a cheque, post dated until May 15, for when I get paid.  Well I happened to log in to my bank account last night and realized that the bank had processed the cheque on May 10, even though the date writen on the cheque was clearly written for May 15.  They have also applied a nsf fee to my account, as the money was not in that account…because I was not expecting anything to be getting taken out on May 10.

I  called Vancity yesterday, but because my branch was not open at the time I called, I was told that nothing could be done until Monday, and that I would have to call my branch directly.  I don't know what the hell is going on with that bank, but ever since March…..I have had nothing but problems.  It has come to the point now where I am going to open a new account elsewhere and once all my direct deposits start to go into my new account…..I will close the Vancity one.  They obviously can't seem to keep track of dates and clearly do not give a shit about their customers.

I Think I May Have Just About Had Enough…..

Problems seem to be ongoing with my Vanshitty…..errr…I mean Vancity car insurance.  Once again they have taken their portion of my car insurance payment out early.  I can not seem to comprehend how this is possible….but my March Payment that was supposed to come out of my bank account on March 30, came out on March 28…..and now the payment that was supposed to come out on May 1, has been taken out on April 29.  I suppose to them a "direct payment plan" means absoutely nothing and that they can just go ahead and take money whenever the hell they feel like it.  The last time that this happened I was assured that it would not happen again, and the error was blamed on a computer glitch……well 2 times is too many, there are plenty of other insurance company's out there so I think I will just have to cancel and go elsewhere. 

Glitch in My Sony Cellphone????

Awhile ago I recieved a new cell phone after having so many problems with my old phone (see previous posts here & here). I have been using it as my alarm clock to get up @ 5:30 in the morning to go to the gym before work. This morning I did not wake up until 6 am, and wondered to myself why did my alarm not go off?

I grabbed my cellphone, that was sitting on my bedside table, and started to investigate as to why the alarm had not rang. I had not made any changes to the settings, so it should have gone off. I went into the alarm settings…..everything looked good there…set to go off at 5:30 am every morning from Monday to Friday. I then went to the calander option and realized for some reason my cell cellphone thinks that it is April 1, and yes the year is set to 2006! It is showing that the month of March has 31 days in it, but for some reason the calendar is saying that March ended on Thursday.

This has me very perplexed, because even if today were April 1, which of course it is not, my cellhone is still acknowledging that today is a Friday. And my alarm is scheduled to go off Monday through Friday. The Friday boxed is checked. I have no idea how I fix this problem, if it is even fixable.

Very strange indeed!

UPDATED

I was able to fix this problem….I had to go in manually and change todays date back to March 31. I don't understand how or why it changed on its own, all iI know is that if this phone better not start acting at screwey on me cause I and sick and tired of trying to deal with these crappy phones that I keep getting from Fido. If this is the case I am seriously going to loose it on them.

And the Fido saga continues…….
