Pete S Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 (edited) IGNORE THIS POST AND GO DOWN ABOUT 8 POSTS Can you believe the f*cking banks, I've got the money in my account now, well most of it anyway, so I tried to transfer £2346 that I've got so far into John's bank account and it came up saying that more checks would have to be made because it is a large amount of money and it cannot be processed until 5th Jan 2010. So if anyone is passing John's house and wants to hand over a large brown envelope full of cash, do let me know! Edited December 31, 2009 by Pete S
Pete S Posted December 31, 2009 Author Posted December 31, 2009 Just been to the bank and was allowed to take £2500 out so am gonna post it in two special deliveries.

Reg Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Can you believe the f*cking banks, I've got the money in my account now, well most of it anyway, so I tried to transfer £2346 that I've got so far into John's bank account and it came up saying that more checks would have to be made because it is a large amount of money and it cannot be processed until 5th Jan 2010. So if anyone is passing John's house and wants to hand over a large brown envelope full of cash, do let me know! Can you not just pay the cash directly into a branch of his bank?
Pete S Posted December 31, 2009 Author Posted December 31, 2009 Can you not just pay the cash directly into a branch of his bank? Thats a good idea...
Pete S Posted December 31, 2009 Author Posted December 31, 2009 Right am going to pay into Lloyds in an hours time, he'll get it straight away. Will report back.
Reg Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Thats a good idea... If you do that check with them that there won't be any significant delay. Sometimes if the branch is busy they don't key the paying in slips in until after the busy period so it may not show on Johnny's account for an hour or two, I can't see that there should be a problem with the amount -it may be different if it was £10K! But check nevertheless just in case before you pay it in! The other alternative is a bankers draft?
jocko Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Pete I am just running away so dont have much time, but you may still get lots of questions at Bank due to amount of cash and money laundering rules, they are very tight these days. It may be worth taking a copy of your original request and copy some notes re donations you have had. Not totally clued up on this so anyone who works in Bank that are on holiday today would know better. Give me a ring if you want but as I say not really my area of expertise, may be worth a call to the bank before you go down and explain circumstances and ask what they need. Well done for this by the way. CHeers Jock

Well done for this by the way. CHeers Jock I think the amount that they would certainly ask questions is 10K. They may ask for lower amounts depending on the bank. So long as you have an explantion though there shouldn't be a problem.
Pete S Posted December 31, 2009 Author Posted December 31, 2009 No problems at all and they say it'll go straight in...I promised I would be upfront with this and show everyone the reciepts etc. There is still a bit more to come but also I have fronted money and put it in the collection for people who promised it and haven't sent it to the tune of about £180 so I would like to think that those people would pay me back cos I can't really afford to front that amount and not get it back. I also want to be upfront with the fact that I have to recoup a small amount for the money it cost to take the card payments and I'm not sure what the paypal situation is (half came in as gifts, half as regular payments) anyway it's not going to be much. Anyway here's what we all wanted to see:

Congratulations on a brilliant effort M.

Pete S Posted December 31, 2009 Author Posted December 31, 2009 OK listen to this, lwet me just tell you about my luck shall I? I've just been to Sainsburys to do the shopping for the next few days, filled the trolley up with not only food and drink but a DS game for Sam, anyway it came to something like £88, except my card got refused and I had to put the f*cking lot back. When I got back home just now I've been on to Barclays and they said they thought there may have been a security problem because of the fact £2600 was withdrawn from it this morning. That's the last time I help anyone on here!
Rich Buckley Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Well done again Pete, good to see everyone on here pulling together after some unsavoury spats in 2009!!! Good effort sir. PM me about the other thing we were discussing. Happy New Year one and all for later on!! Rich
Ficklefingers Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 With the money received from Pete today, I've just made a debit card payment over the 'phone to our mortgage provider. With the payments made over the past two weeks using the proceeds of my sales.. Our arrears have been completely eradicated - AND they informed us we no longer have to appear at the hearing on Monday !! This has been a xmas beyond our dreams, and the prospects for 2010 most DEFO look better than '09. Thank you all so much.. I don't know what else to say other than I'd welcome the opportunity to thank, in person, as many of the contributors to saving our house as I can !! HAPPY NEW YEAR !! Fingers..

soulfulmick Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Well I've scoured the New Years Honours list and can't find any mention of a P Smith receiving an honour for services to fellow SS members. Must be an error cos if any one deserves one tis you Pete. WELL DONE it's a real pleasure to know you. All the very best to you and yours for 2010 PS Happy New Year to all on SS

Pete S Posted December 31, 2009 Author Posted December 31, 2009 To continue this amazing theme; I mentioned above I'd been let down a bit by people I'd been promised money from so I put it in out of my own pocket but as yet haven't received anything (this does not include people who've already been in touch with me) anyway Mac from derby insisted I accept £100 in lieu of these people not paying me, how kind is that??? refusing it didn't help either. So thanks mate and safe journey back home eventually.

So thanks mate and safe journey back home eventually. Although Mac from Derby is a Forrest fan thats a great gesture on his part.The thing that pisses me off is iff you have pledged money and its been pledged from the heart you should continue on in paying it.Sadly it leads me to think you are just trying to boost your own popuality,it will catch up on you one day.regards Gilly and Nicola. ps i think im right about the Forrest bit if not im sorry

Someone asks me to put money in on their behalf, so I do, yet they never send it, so I put in my own contribution, and someone else's, and you think I shouldn't try to get it back off the person who promised it in the first place? And by complaining about it you think I'm trying to boost my own popularity? Are you mad? If you lent me £100 and I then said I wasn't going to pay you back, would you be happy about that? Or when you say YOU do you mean someone else or do you mean me? Edited January 1, 2010 by Pete S

Sorry for misunderstanding but it does look like that and I couldn't understand why. And I haven't even got a hangover.
