    It used to say As a switching customer, if you’re accepted for a bank account with an Advance Overdraft facility, we’ll automatically accept you for an Abbey Credit Card as well."

    But they have removed this. They then asked me to come to the branch and show them where it was.

    Luckily I had a print out!

  • I still have the printout of the screen in digitalized form - if anyone of you requires it (say to support your appeals as you opened the account during that promotional period) just give me a PM!

    Agreed, If you could imageshak this it would be great.

    Abbey called me this morning, this has to be escalated up to level 2 complaints.
    The branch couldn't do it so I had to! Anyway they said they FOS allow them 8 weeks however If I allow 4 weeks this should cover it :mad::mad::mad::mad:

    So annoyed, why can;t they just contact the U/W like they did for firsttimestudent!! All I want them to do is honour their agreement.
