Halifax Faster payments (Not Working)

rangers_fc

Trying to get faster payments to work between my halifax account and Tesco, It would only allow a transfer of £500 tonight . Im hoping to get another transfer of £500 tommorow as I want to take advantage of the clubcard offer.
Here is hoping its a cash limit thing

Just tried a test of faster payments. Sending £20.00, it let me choose today's date but on the confirmation page it quoted 02/12/2008.:rolleyes:

You'll probably get this message on the confirmation page.

You have selected today's date. On this occasion we're unable to send this as an Immediate Faster Payment.

I've tried this 3 times today and it's worked £200 the first 2 times and then £500 on the 3rd one yay!

I tried Halifax FP today. 3 worked then I moved money between Halifax accounts then the next one failed to be FP. I think someone said the limit was 2 FP per day but perhaps that is now 3. Looks like the limit is still 500 too. Seems to me this is all a ploy to keep hold of people's money. Other banks have the system limit of 10k max and no limit on transfers.

I gave up last week and asked my daughter to try through her account (also with Halifax). She put through 3 x £500 to Tesco for me with no problems (didn't try more than 3) and I transferred the £1500 to her. So much for the problem being at the receiving end!

When I couldn't do it from my account, on the 27th I elected to send (as a test) £1 to my Nationwide Flexaccount and £1 to my son's account at RBOS, both to go on the 28th. Haven't checked with my son as yet, but the £1 to my Flexaccount showed up in the account the same day, so must have been sent by FP anyway. Most odd!

Shambolic. Sometimes it works, mostly it doesn't. Totally unreliable service from Halifax. Have made my formal complaint as £5000 disappeared into the BACS system and I missed the Tesco Finance clubcard offer because of HBOS systems. When I telephoned they hadn't a clue what level of service I should expect...."nothing is guaranteed" is the mantra....What on earth are they doing delivering such an undependable service on us IT guinea pigs. We are not beta-testers we are customers.

Transferring between my own halifax accounts takes forever also. Their online banking system is pretty poor if you ask me - I have had numerous problems.
