Accidental Overpayment to Credit Card Account - What to Do?
Last night, I made an error whilst trying to pay off my credit card balance online. When inputting the figure to transfer, I transposed two digits; that has resulted in a payment to the credit card account approximately £800 in excess of the then outstanding balance. I'm aware that the money hasn't 'disappeared' and will,…

First Direct FlexiLoan Cancellation
Hi. I have been with FD for maybe 30 years and had their FlexiLoan facility for maybe 20. I find it very useful, I can dip in and out of it instantly to cover unexpected expenses etc. They have messaged me to say they are cancelling this facility which will be a right pain for me as I rely on it a lot (by rely I mean the…

How to get a Santander Edge Saver without using the current account
Hi All, I'm looking to get the Santander Edge Saver and adding 4k for the 6%. I see that I need an Edge current account do it. But I already have a Santander 123 Lite account and think I am better off keeping that for the cashback. Can I open an Edge current account, get the £30 Amazon voucher via the MSE link, and then…

SCAM SMS from VIRGIN MONEY re:registration of new device? Do not call 02070361903 - it's not them!
Just wasted 10 minutes trying to do the right thing having received this slippery bank impersonation text coupled with an equally slippery bank impersonation automated telephone service on the 02070361903 suggested in the text if I didn't recognise an attempt to register a new device: I became suspicious because although…

Santander switch incentive
I have seen the new Santander £180 switch incentive on the MSE bank page, which says You can't have had a switch bonus from Santander since September 2021. However on the Santander website itself, it says you can't have ever had an incentive paid out. I'm digging through the T&C's to see if the 2021 date MSE has shared is…

IBAN child account to receive flight compensation
A 7 year old child needs a bank account to receive flight delay compensation. As the compensation goes to passenger named on ticket rather than the adult who paid for ticket. Emirates won't deal with Starling Bank UK or Revolut. I created a Lloyds Bank Child Saver, but Emirates stated the IBAN provided is not an…

Keep your eyes peeled for a new current account £185 switch offer from Lloyds. Sadly not for people who, like myself and many other forumites, have received a switching bonus from Lloyds or Halifax since April 2020.

LHV current account uncapped 3.25% interest
Seems to be app based. Fully regulated. Maybe an alternative to Chase ? It is the first new current account to launch in Britain since 2021 when Chase Bank burst onto the scene, and it already offers savings accounts and loans. LHV which has been operating in the UK since 2018, after establishing itself as the third…
