Attention parasitic scum

That's right, Bankers.

A wee while back I got some mail that said the bank doesn't have an up to date Master Account Mandate for me and provided one for me to sign and take in to the bank.

Now I know it gives the bank authority to tell me how much money I have, operate my accounts, debit/credit as needed etc. What I want to know is:
1) worst case scenario if I don't send it in
2) is there anything in it that could possibly work against me

This thread caught my eye, but it isn't about me after all.

Bloody banks. When it's sunny, they want to sell you umbrellas. Then when it rains, they want them back again.

Hook your fingers in the corner of your mouth and pull outwards and then say "banker".

Thought the thread was about the labour party...

Disappointed.

Ask them which Terms and Conditions have changed that have caused your old existing mandate (that you signed when you opened your first account with them) to become obsolete.

Hook your fingers in the corners of your mouth and say Labour party

The job of the opposition is to keep the criminals (oops, gubbinment) in line and on their toes no matter what...

I hear the foriegn minister (the one without any baubles) has recovered nicely. Just a shame about the spider - they couldn't get any anti-venom to it in time...

A mandate is basically your instructions to the bank. If they don't have a mandate from you then it will not be able to draw cheques, process direct debits ets. They may need to update the mandate for new technology who knows. Just read it carefully and if you are unsure about anything give them a jingle.

If they weren't paid for the privalige the bastards would work hard to make sure they got in next time - I object to paying the pricks who got voted out...you are out,or you are in,end of story.

Damn - its one of those catch22 thingymabobs.
If you left labour and their pals in by themselves they would be spending all our money on naughty things, pulling fingers all over the show, bringing in cheap immigrant labour for themselves, and passing all sorts of ill thought out unwanted stupid laws that they think are good ideas.
But on the other hand you are right - the other buggers would have to work really hard at getting us to believe they wont do that if we vote them in next time.

Thanks Big McJim and Jonty. The rest of you suck

Just check for any mention of returning their umbrella and the formula they intend to apply as interest while you had it.

For years the slang term for irish currency was "punt" and it rhymed with the slang term for bank managers.

Sorry I can't help more with the mandate thing. Dunthink I've ever signed one of those O-o
