Paypal - pay in 3 / 12 month installments
Recently had a couple of purchases via paypal (both interest free) using Pay in 3 and 12 monthly instalments. But the D/D hasn't changed to take these into account - it's still at the minimum amount and I can't see an option to change it to take the appropriate amounts (bar manually working it out or manual paying stuff).…

Shawbrook cannot verify their own accounts?
I have just opened a fixed rate bond with Shawbrook and tried to transfer money from my Easy Access account with them to the new bond. I can't because they say they cannot verify this account electronically, so I must sign up to open banking to allow access to this account so they can verify I am the account holder. Is…

The reason given was that I failed to meet the timeframe by a couple of days. I completed the documentation online and believed I had fulfilled the criteria, but obviously, I had not. Despite being a…

Random thought the other day - I've never had more than £2300 in my bank account
I had a fairly random thought the other day that I've never had more than £2,300 in my bank account ever. Some people would spend that on a foreign holiday without a second thought! I've worked all my life and am now in my early sixties. I'm now self-employed and earning now quite a bit less than when I was last working…
