Cashier in the building society.
I asked specifically, "Can I set up a direct debit to come out of my account every four weeks?"
"You mean a standing order."
"Sorry. Can I set up a standing order to come out of my account every four weeks?"
"You need to fill in this form."
She was so busy correcting my terminology, she missed what I was asking.
NO. You cannot have an amount debited from your account every four weeks (from my account at least). It's monthly, quarterly, or annually.
Why am I irritated?
Firstly because she didn't listen to the question. Although given she never said yes, at least she didn't lie to me.
Secondly because it's quite a long form, and the question re occurrence is right at the bottom.
Thirdly because I'm the stupidy stupid that has rent arrears from Leicester and it's my own damned fault. I was just trying to reduce the temptation I feel every month not to pay them.
ETA - I was trying to synch my payments to my benefits.
I've not missed a payment yet - just trying to make things more automated.
