Thought I would buy £300 worth of PBs...so drew the money out of my bank account,filled in the form ,put the cash in the folder and took it to the Post Office,waited in the queue...only to be told that they will not accept cash for the transaction.
I asked how I could pay....Credit or Debit card only....... Two months earlier they accepted £500 cash and according to their web site they still accept cash....would've thought cash was the safest way....is money going out of fashion ?

Have you got an online National savings account?
Truly the worst purchasing experience of my life, i can get a credit card with a £10,000 limit in no time or trouble at all.I can get my bank to loan me 4 times that on line but want to convert a bond holding that had been running for 8 years with multiple purchases and wins to an online managed account.Be prepared for a battle.They will give you a code that dont work,they will DEMAND a password of between 6-8 characters with at least one capital letter and one "special character"
AND THEN EXPECT YOU TO REMEMBER A PASSWORD SOMETHING LIKE Tdsu*Hg
Getting my online account to work has been harder than giving birth. AND I AM A BLOKE.

It took me about 3 minutes to purchase some today. I set my online account up ages ago and can't remember any particular issues.
