Computer Problems

Citibank Online is nuts. It doesn't let me log in although I key in the correct password.

Information not recognized

F*ck you. (pardon my French)

Information not recognized

F*ck you.

Information not recognized

F*ck you.

Three subsequent "failed" attempts and my account isn't locked. How cool is that? This is my third time encountering such a situation. During the last two times, I reset the password with my ATM pin. At first, I thought that perhaps I was forgetful, but this time I documented the password well and no way it's my mistake.

And so, I did some testing. During the password reset, I purposely keyed in my known password as the new password. And you know what I get?

You new password cannot be same as the current password

F*ck you.

And when I present these facts to their support staff, they treat me like an idiot. I have 7 years of IT testing experience you idiots! Stop giving me lame-ass generic answers. After several strongly-worded replies, they finally relented and asked me to contact their technical support for a walkthrough. You know what? The extension doesn't exist.

F*ck you.

Sigh. Finally, I called their customer service and complained. Turns out that their cyptic Information not recognized message can also mean that you account is locked. Greeeeeeatttttttttt. I just bloody reset the password. I will get them yet!!!

Sometimes, it really is so hard for them to just accept that their system sucks.. That their programming has a lot of glitches.

password issue and they're asking you to contact tech support? the hell?!

Calm down Will... If u've encountered this problem multiple times... U shud go to ur branch and request a meeting with the branch manager to express ur discomfort, it's a waste of time talking to them on the phone... Or you can consider switching banks, although I'm not sure if the others are any better...

@Lucas:
Talking to the branch manager would be useless. They have no power over a centralized system.

@JJ:
I heard that Singapore's online banking is not as canggih as Malaysia's!

@Danny:
What could go wrong? The worst that could happen is you transfer all your money to me. ;)

@Evann:
Can I bite technology back?

@Pikey:
But I love Citibank! :P

@CountA:
Actually it's quite reliable. Just that sometimes you get downtime.

@DnD:
You want the uncensored version? :P
Mr.D said…

said…

William said…
@Darren:
Some kid got hauled to court for mentioning "molotov" on his FB account. :S

@L2:
A savings account at Citibank? Macam orang kaya ni...

Janvier said…
Kesian! Can't seem to catch a break with customer service ever, ya?
William said…
@Grat:
Very "vinegar". Haha.

@Janvier:
Have to check my Bazi.
Mark said…
Oh, it might just be me, but I'm detecting just A TAD of aggression here.

Yes/no? =P
Be patient. Scolding "F*ck you" many times would not help much to solve your problems. Cool down, man!
William said…
@Mark:
What to do, not getting laid like you. :P

@RMDS:
I feel better after cursing them. :)
