Is this legal as far as Halifax Reward application goes?
for those of you with excellent memories, you may remember some hassle i had with this account & then my g/f getting refused hers, and then both of us were refused a joint.

Money spend in store, back in account!
I used my maestro card (with Natwest) in Primark at the weekend, I didn't spend a huge amount, less than £20. The transaction appeared in my account online that evening as pending as is normal, but, on checking this evening the transaction has vanished and my balance is nearly £20 better off!

Barclays Dither on Current Account Application
In November last year I applied (online) for a Barclays Current Account. I had to answer some questions about my credit history in order to verify my ID. Unfortunately, I did not answer their questions to their satisfaction so they requested that I take my ID into the branch. I did so a week before Xmas, as soon as I…

Want to leave A&L after 2 months...
and return to my thankfully not closed Halifax account (having borrowed from elsewhere to clear the damned OD that was the bugbear that caused me to - rashly with the benefit of hindsight - stick two fingers up to them). Does anyone know if I will be penalised for this? I appreciate that they will probably want their £100…

Paying over the counter question
I paid some money over the counter in my local HSBC branch at about 3.30ish today and I said I didn't need a receipt as I never get one. When I looked in my bank just now the money hasn't come into my bank account and it usually goes in instantly. Does anyone know why? Is there anything I can do? Thanks Sam

Changing Euros...
This year I am going to try and cut down on my spending, reduce my credit card debts, and generally save money where I can. One area I have identified as a waste of money is in currency exchange.

Hi everyone. I used to hold an account with Lloyds TSB, basically it was a debit card account with NO OVERDRAFT in place, just a simple money in, money out account.
