My bank is trying to rob me? What the fuck?! - GoFuckYourself.com

Ok, so my bank is completely fucked up. They manage to screw up just about everything imaginable, including "minor" things like getting my name right (and keeping it right) and processing address changes. And yes, I am going to leave them as soon as possible.

Now, last week I brought them a check from a sponsor and told them to add the money to my account. Today, I received a confirmation note, saying that I had cashed the check and had gotten the money - cash. So, I called them, and asked about it. Their records say the same, I received the money in cash.

However, aside from that simply not being the case, I happen to know about their policies:
#1: Checks for amounts over 500 euro can only be added to your account, they can not be cashed directly.
#2: Foreign checks can only be added to your account, they can not be cashed directly.

And aside from that:
#3: The office of theirs I went to, does not give out cash whatsoever.

Now, is it just me or are these people the most incompetent fucktards ever?

Now I'll have to go through great hassle just to get my fucking money. And no, it will not be easy, seeing how it took them 5 requests and 3 months before they finally changed my address in their records after I moved.

As a european webmaster I prefer to use Paypal. I think checks are even more complicated here.

Just a small annoying Dutch bank. They're not thieves though, just really incompetent.
