i bought an item online from qvc on monday night, it then showed up as a transaction on my account the next day as all my transactions did with solo.. however on checking the account this morning the transaction has dissapeared!!?? and no longer shows therefore recrediting my account with the amount.

can anyone tell me what has happened as i have been used to aolo where it comes straight out of the account and shows immediatly i liked that as i never got lost with balances ect and knew exactly where i was. is it a case of that now it willworklike the other cards and could take five days to show up. although it was there then dissapeard!!

This happens all the time with me it comes off and its back on the next day. You can spend the money if your not careful and it will come off in 2-3 days. I didn't think it could happen with Full Authorisation cards, have you been upgraded to cheque guarentee ? There is £20 in my account at the moment that is "spent" . I used to be able to pay off my barclaycard bill in full and the funds would be back in my account the next day. It stopped doing it now, so i guess it is dependant on the retailer.

You'll find that the transaction WILL debit in the next few days. Authorisations drop off after a few days.

still having problems with my visa debit card. tried paying my council tax online and it classed the card as a credit card so wont take payment - grrrrr

I have just changed my bank to Natwest and have a current account with a Visa Debit Card but I can't use this at any pay at the pump petrol stations only by going into the shop and paying over the counter..

I think this defeats the object of going to a pay at the pump petrol station in the first place..

Hi there,

I had my solo card upgraded to a maestro card in july. However, both the solo card and maestro card were usable together i found this out when i accidently used the solo one after having started using the maestro one.

Now i have had a visa card sent to me but its the blue card not the purple service card, is this right i thought i would have had a purple one.
Anyone know?

Id check with Natest I know some customers cards have been sent out in error ie a blue one sent instead of purple.
