In the last few years my interactions with them have been minimal as most of my banking has been online.
Hence, I have not really been aware of how low their service has slipped.
I am still fuming about this now.

Abbey all started to go downhill when they went on a rebranding exercise.
They spent tens of thousands to ditch the 'Abbey National' name and came up with.... 'Abbey'
and then went even further in rebranding their current account from 'current account' to .....'The Account'
Wonder how many brainstorming sessions they had to come up with those two? Wonder if they outsourced the project?

Thanks for wasting my morning you bastards.
When I asked to speak to a manager was told one would call me back in 24 - 48 hours. Nice.
A complete bunch of fooking w@nkers and c*nts.
