All they needed was my passport. I got a savings account tied to a debit card, with internet banking and 'web card' facility. Try K Bank at Paragon. All they needed was my passport.

Get internet access to the account and pay your bills from home. Easy and a good solution if you hate to use hours to pay your bills in the bank and if you don't want to worry about getting receipts.

Hopefully no part 5. When things work well for a long time, you get complacent. You can't afford to there, and nor here in Oz. What an extraordinary tale. Hopefully no part 5.

But some banks could be easier. Just an error in the books? I don't think there would be so much fuss, including the geriatric owner appearing for the first time in months, is that was the case.

Maybe the receptionist is just incompetent or lazy ? She may have banked the money correctly but just not recorded it correctly or issued receipts. When someone looked at the books they figured that you hadn't paid the rent. That would explain why she's still around, albeit a little teary. Has anyone actually said the money is missing ?

At that time, I was still on 30 day walk-in, but they went ahead anyway. I know things have gotten tighter in the past two years, but have you actually tried to open an account? Try a couple of banks; you might succeed. Then you can pay online or via ATM. When I first opened my account here, they asked to see my visa.

The receptionist might have gotten hooked on ya ba. But that doesn't mean that everyone should kiss and make up and that she should still be on the job. I think your suspicions, SF, that she is a family member or the owner's mistress are right on the money. Your idea of using Chalerm's bank account so you can write a cheque is a good one and would provide a much better paper trail in case this ever happens again. Good luck. There is nothing more frightening or frustrating than dealing with financial issues, especially when it relates to your dwelling. I must agree with SameSame.
