A banks tale – Part II
Sep 11th, 2008 by Peter
Here I should have been writing a whole lot about how we tried to get our money back from the Chinese bank. As you may know, they decided to “withdraw” the fee we already paid here in Denmark from the transferred cash, instead of getting them from the Danish bank as the OUR agreement states they should.
As you can guess I won’t write any of those things.
Why? Well, C finally caved and agreed that we’d probably never see the money anyway, and the trouble of trying wasn’t worth the possible refund. We’ve been getting nowhere, and the ICBC isn’t helpful at all. So we gave up. Hands down. You win our money this round you no good lazy crooks ICBC.
From now on we’ll follow the advice of commenters here, and use the SHA code for future transfers. Not happy to be “forced” to do so, but that’s the only way to make sure our money isn’t stolen unexplainably lost.
I’d like to add this to the good people in charge of transfer procedures at the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China though: lazy two-timing wankers!
