With First Direct but want to move to Barclays Premier
I have been a happy customer of first direct for about 5 years. I do all my daily banking with them, including an ISA and a savings account. I have no reason to complain - they always answer the phone on the first one or two rings, never get delayed by annoying offshore drones reading off a script, or by automated 'Press 1…

Between Halifax & PayPal i've lost money. What to do?
Just filtering off some money from my Halifax to my AA Savings account & noticed 2x £20 "money out" entries on the same day. Thinking i'd hit the submit button twice (as i can account for one of the entries) i checked my paypal. PayPal lists only one £20 money out Yet my bank account lists TWO £20 debits with a PayPal…

Need a new current account...
I have been living abroad for 7 years and now moving back to UK. I always had a Nationwide account, and when I left I had a £1500 overdraft at its limit. I have slowly paid that off and when I paid the last of it off, Nationwide automatically closed my account, so I have been about 2yrs with no bank account whatsoever. I…

Paying in a joint cheque when we don't have a joint account...
My husband and I got married last weekend and have been lucky enough to receive many generous contributions from our friends and family to put towards our honeymoon. However, a few of the cheques we've received are made out to Mr & Mrs Harris (or variations of); as I understand it these cheques need to be paid into an…

Has anyone had a similar problem? I use online banking with LloydsTSB, and all transactions for the past 5 days are not showing up on our cheque account statement.

Money out post office counter
I have a basic Abbey Bank Account, now Santander. I would like to know if anyone has used the machine at the post office counter (looks like a large calculator that you put your card in to and enter your 4 digit pin number) to get money out. Is the PIN number the same that you would use with the card at a ATM Machine, also…

£35 charge for SO to myself :-(
Hi all, I hope someone knows if Santander can do this. I had a First Home Saver account with Santander, with a Standing Order they set up going from my old account. My wages are paid into this old account and I transfer them each month to my current account, bar the £300 for the savings account. As I closed my Home Saver…

A bank account with free instant alerts for all withdrawals/deposits?
Hi, Does this exist? I've been doing a lot of searching and the closest I can see is the citibank alerts service which costs £2.50 a month for standard current accounts and even then they'll only alert you for transactions that are £100 and above. Yodlee moneycenter does send free email alerts but they're up to a day old.…

Halifax have lost my statements.
I have opted for paper free statements which show on my online account. While viewing my 2009 statements, the site crashed and I had to log back in with a new browser. When I went back into my account I found that all July 2009 statements were missing. There was no option to delete so it was nothing I had done. All other…

Overdraft Declined:
So this is the situation. I've just been offered a mortgage and this morning I tried to extend my Natwest account (Currently has £2000 overdraft available but is in £3000 credit) but it was declined. What are the possible reasons behind it? It surely can't be a bad credit score if I have just been approved a mortgage.…

Finding out where a transfer came from
I opened an account about a week ago, and put some money in it. I have not done anything since, but I just looked at it, and there has been a transfer of £25 into it. All it says is that it's a transfer from a certain bank account number that I don't recognise. I certainly didn't do this, and nobody even has the details of…
