    Same sort of thing for me, one of my payments was to T-Mobile and as far as they are concerned my account is clear and the others were to various places like Tesco's etc, dont really know what to do, cant phone Tesco and tell them it hasnt come out of my account, how would they find my payment etc ?, It is good to know that is just not happening to me, seems to be the problem was def last Monday and Tuesday ??

    They thought I was a bit strange too, trying to explain it over the phone etc, I think they just thought I was some mad woman with nothing better to do :rotfl: things I have paid for since have come out of my account in the normal way and are showing as cleared, the missing payments havent cleared today either ! wonder how long we will have to wait.

    It is driving me mad, why can't they just clear it !!, I know it will clear at some point so the money has to stay in the account, but I am a right obsessive about money anyway, check my online account ALL the time and know to the penny who much we have left for each month and this is just mucking me up !

    The money still hasn't cleared, well over a week now. Kayleigh did you call the bank again ?
  • yea i called again yesterday afternoon an they said the companys have 30 days to claim the funds from my account but the guy said he thinks its very strange it hasnt already been taken - he went through to the visa department and came back saying it should be cleared in the next couple of days (whatever he was told i dont know) but i have checked my account again this morning and guess what - - its still not gone
