Natwest Under 18 accounts now useless.
Natwest's new trick is to withdraw cashcard facilities from under 18's without informing them. My daughter (14) found that her card wasn't working.

Stay away from CeX!
Martin - I know you featured CeX as often being the highest 'payer' for getting money back for your old mobile phones.
