and other institutions?
Some time back I read the plaintive cry from a member here commenting that every time they go to their bank it is as if it were the first time they (the bank) had drawn up a mortgage. It just gets worse. The simple process of getting a new deposit book caused me $140 in dishonour fees until I realised they had given me the wrong deposit book. Today they made a big deal about failure to pay Mrs Fish's CC. She had changed the "from" account, but that was beyond them. "Input error"! I just KNOW there will a blue about the dishonour fee already charged and the penalty interest which accrues if the payment isn't made on the due date.
Government departments just can't do the most basic daily tasks like issuing ABNs or registering business names either. My son could not open the required bank accounts for his new biz because he did not have his biz name registered. The day before the relevant department said they had not received the paperwork, they withdrew the app fee from his account. ???? It took over a month for such a simple thing to happen.
I won't even mention Telstra and their monumental indifference.
This sort of thing is what is holding back India. Are we degenerating to the least common denominator?
