Complaint about incentive not received?
My sister using the Co-op switching service and 45 days was up several days ago. Today she spoke to someone who said that she was eligible and that they didn't know what had happened but would make sure that it would be paid within the next week.

No £125 from First Direct
My wife & I were in the process of switching her banking to First Direct, in part to get her the £125 for switching. They were happy that she waited to get debit card & cheque book before doing the switch. She has those now so just called First Direct to get the 'switch' moving. Her present account is with Cahoot... First…

Closed bank account on my credit report
I've been using Noddle to keep an eye on open lines of credit. One of the Experian improvement points given to me was that I had too many open streams of credit, so I'm working hard to close off accounts/overdrafts/credit cards to reduce these accounts. I noticed on Noddle that I appear to have an open Halifax account. It…

I had to upload the photo page from my passport as a security measure (so they said) and this is worrying me also. Can anyone tell me please…

123 interest payment frequency?
Evening moneysavers, Just a quick question. I opened up a Santander 123 current account today as I'm about to get under way with saving and switching accounts. As I understand it, having read the account details, interest and cashback are paid monthly. With that, on balance of £3000, I'd be getting £90 in interest, the…

I note that Nationwide has a limit of four accounts per person. My wife has Power of Attorney for both her parents who each have a FlexDirect in their own names.

money taken from account - shadow payment?
Ok, I'll be honest it's not a lot of money I'm talking about...only £16.70. But it's my £16.70. So, on 28th March we ordered a takeaway from https://www.Just-Eat.co.uk for £16.70. It was sent through to the take away who rejected the order. I chatted to just eat on line and was told I'd get a refund, to reorder and the…
