Bank Account Switching Service.
Hello, Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere, I'm doing 10 things at once and my head is about to explode :'( . I decided to go for the Clydesdale £150 switching incentive.

What to do with large sum of cash short term between house buying/selling?
It just dawned on me that, after selling our house in 4 weeks, we're going to have approx 240k cash in an account until we can find a new home, during which time we'll be renting. I know the bank will safeguard £150k of it in our joint account. Is there anything more wise that we should do for a few months? I really have…

Verified by Visa
Those clowns at First Direct have just forced me to sign up for VbV. The DVLA website previously hadn't implemented this stupidly insecure system but now they have, and VbV have removed the Cancel button on the second screen, which used to allow you to bypass the sign up after step 1. Is there an easy way to cancel this…
TSB classic plus interest not paid..
Ok so on 30th March I put in £274 42 to make my balance £2,000 Then £250 went out to 5% saver so put another £250 in to make my balance £2,000 so that was just over £500 but My interest didn't get paid this morning. Should I wait as it might go in later? Or shall I tell TSB to fix it
