Maybe my memory really is getting bad with old age but wasn't it a lot clearer than that? iBill had a LOT of warning that the bank was pulling the plug (ie at least 6 months probably more). Then because iBill has always been run by monkeys they totally ignored the fact that it was ending instead hoping that a flimsy verbal agreement to extend the cut-off date would give them time to arrange something else. A 'verbal' agreement when millions of $'s are involved.

The bank unsurprisingly changed their minds as nothing was on paper (have you ever known a bank to keep a verbal agreement?) and all of a sudden the bank was a bitch for pulling the plug??? What the fuck were they ever thinking allowing it to get to that stage.

Forgetting everything that's happened since, that alone should be a reason for nobody to ever go near them again. No company that incompetent should be handling sums in the millions of dollars.
