Sorry, but isn't it unusual for personal bank customers to have much need to pay-in cash? Perhaps emptying change jars annually (and there is a change sorter in Sainsbury's on DKH I believe). Cheques are different, but mainly these can be paid in on-line over smart phone aps. and some banks (e.g. Lloyds) have cheque readers for deposits inside the branch if you don't have a smart phone. Clearly there are the un-smart-phoned (I have already noted) - but cash paying-in tends to be a business issue, and DF said there was a business customer counter in the bank. Withdrawing cash is a different issue, but this seems to be catered for. Or am I missing something?

Thats right.


Counter Facilities are available in Peckham Rye Lane BUT both Branches at 28 and 223-229

will also be closing on Fri. 7th December 2018 and a New Branch will be opening on Mon. 10th Dec.

at 147-149 Rye Lane. This new branch will be the same format as the new Lordship Lane Branch.

Needed to pay my Electricity Bill. Would of done it on line

But also needed go pay in a cheque so went to the Barclays on Lordship Lane.



Was greeted by a member of staff. We managed to pay the cheque in.

'The Machine' reads the cheque and pays it into a selected account.


Trying to pay the bill was a different story. 'The Machine' canot read the Pay Slip.


You need to type all the info in yourself. The Company Name.. you get a list os alternatives and their sort codes


Then yo need to enter the right sort code in the correct format or else you get an Error at the end of the transaction.


You then need to manualy enter your EDF Energy account number plus a reference number.


The member of staff was not able to complete the transaction. After 10-15 mins she called for assistant and

a 'more senior' member of staff in a smart suit appeared. He told the first staff to go to lunch at that HE would deal.

However after anoth 10 -15 mins and 2 failed attempts he advised me to go to the counter, which was closed with the blind down


He told me to use the Business counter. There was a lady at the desk and another person aiting.

There was a problem with the counter staff not being able to deal with the customer and a further 10 min delay


There were other customers not able to work the machines and the staff unable to assist. They do not know how to operate the devices either.


After 45 mins I was able to pay my bill although it has not gone throughto my EDF Energy accout yet.


The whole thing is a disgrace

ETA The internal ATMs can deal out up to ?2,000 . Handy if someone steals your card and sees your pin.

They do not accept cards that are not Barclays.

Its an utter mess.

The new machines have such a large menu to navigate that its much slower to do a straightforward cash withdrawal.

plus there aren't enough machines to make up for the lack of counters.

I did complain and the chap stood as a 'meet and greet' described it as 'progress'

No its staff cuts thinly disguised as 'progress' coupled with multiple branch closures to maximise profit for the big chiefs.

I've banked with them since starting college in 1977-I'm leaving.

That was dry sarcasm I reckon as he can see the "economies of scale" coming.

It's a farce, except it's not funny. The machine doesn't explain the steps, the lady demonstrating who got it to work took longer than it would have done just to do the transaction at the counter

The screen of the machine is too low and difficult to read it the low light.

The queue was nearly out of the door.

All in all, it's a mess.

Spot on!!!!! You've summed it up beautifully

Yesterday, Lloyds Bank opposite Library - atm inoperative as was the machine inside unless I wanted to pay in a cheque.

Queue as usual. Staff shouting out to machine users this information as it was clearly too much to affix a small notice near the paying in machine.


I wanted an up to date current account balance - the one I received was out of date by 10 days.


Paying in machines in France are simple efficient and quick. Have we copied the concept without the technology?


If it's stress free banking you require avoid Lloyds especially if you need to visit the ED branch or use the 'customer services' by telephone facility.


If you need to use the bank on a Friday take a flask and a tome.

yes exactly Sue, far more time efficient and non moody! Banks will soon be defunct, and for Lloyds LL, they have hastened their own departure, as my old Lloyds bank in west Dulwich, everything too much trouble, the customer as nuisance - now I

am totally online, a modern woman !!

We can't, obviously, which was why I was patiently queueing, and describing how frustrating was the customer experience - money now in the BS which meant a trip to Bromley. I considered sticking it under the mattress

with the rest of it, but our noses are already scraping the ceiling.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
