Most of us have probably spent a little more than we anticipated over the Christmas period, but one student from Ayrshire had a shock when his bank account showed he was £100bn in the red. He has checked his balance the day before and found that it showed a healthy balance. However, two large withdrawals each of £50bn showed on his statement the next morning. The bank later blamed the problem on a “technical error” and offered him £10 compensation for the phone calls he had made to try and sort the problem out.
