Perils of switching bank accounts

Sir, – I am beginning to wonder if Danske Bank really wants to leave the personal banking market in Ireland.

After 20 years of banking with Danske, my husband and I are in the switching process but Danske will just not let go. In the process (over three months now) we have had utility bills misdirected, life assurance suspended and multiple mortgages payments deducted from our account. I think this administrative blundering is really just a delaying tactic.

I have heard of the long goodbye but this is ridiculous. – Yours, etc,
