it's bloody obvious this was a technical error.
muppet, of the highest order.
Depends. If, say, this happened to me just as all my direct debits went out, and I got stiffed by bank fees, late payment penalties, and my mortgage account showed a missed payment (with resulting reduction of credit rating) and I'd been on the phone all morning trying to sort it out, you can bet I'd expect more than a giggle and £10 to shut me up.of for gods sake.

So why don't *you* STFU?
Edit: Something similar happened to me once and several people, including my mortgage company, actually cancelled the Direct Debit mandate and I had to set them up again. I missed one and didn't know about it until I got sent a threatening letter about legal action. So, yes, there *is* stress involved.

Really? Did you?
The error occurred between monday (29th,) and today (30th.)
It was noticed today, and resolved today.
He even had enough spare time to write to the bbc.
So yes, he's another "I'm a victim and only money will sway my woes" idiot.

Does sound like a right pain in the bum but what is suitable compensation assuming all costs are dealt with and you have only lost time?
Oh sure. TBH, for me it is fine to just sort it all out and apologise. And maybe the Bank Manager sending his nubile daughter over to apologise, err, "personally". 
It depends how much of the following statement is true.
'Mr Moffat said he had "been passed from pillar to post" after making the error known to Barclays.'
It would not surprise me if he spent a few hours being sent from department to department because one person or another couldn't be arsed to solve the problem.
It's happened to us all before, so I'm guessing a problem that requires some significant security checks and audit checks would just get bandied around from one call centre airhead to the next. I would be interested in making Barclay's pay more than £10 if this was the case!
However, I could be wrong and this guy just wants a small payday because of a small technical error.

Can't remember the background though, but obviously they were wrong, and nasty, and evil - and li'l old me was left alone, in the dark, naked in the city.
