So... (be nice I am pregnant)
DH and myself have a joint account. he does online banking, sets up direct debits and generally sorts the finances because I deal with people querying payments for a living and just dont want to deal with my own lol
DH has spreadsheets with incomings and outgoings and Actually loves it so who am I to complain
Anyway.... I washed and tumble dried lost my bank card so had to call for a replacement.
I answered:
Sort code
Account number
Name
Date of birth
Full address
mothers maiden name
But then: can you tell me a direct debit that comes out monthly
[Shock] no... I actually can't! I dont't know any amounts from when they were set up 5 years ago! And DH is so obsessed witg getting the best energy prices etc I dont even know who provides the electric and gas! The shame!!!
So I say 'dh, what's a direct debit out of'
ANd the lady says 'You are NOT to ask your husband.'
So I was all, two minutes I need to get a bank statement... Dh also has a particular filing system that you woukd need ab enigma nachine to crack...
Apparently I cant ask him that either.
Queue me and DH shuffling papers in silence playing frantic charades while he gets the online banking up and I 'pretend' to read ab imaginary statement to tge lady.
AIBU to think I coukd havr bloody well double checked a direct debit withthe joint account holder?
rely others must have a set up where one person sorts the bank while the other lives in ignorant bliss?
Would have saved time and he wasnt a random! I coukd even gave popped him on the phone to confirm! Especially as I had already answered all of tge other security questions
