    01422 380880 switchboard worked for me a week or so ago when I needed their savings people.
    After posting about receiving an email to my MSE username/email from 'Money Expert' (note the use of ' '), I am now unable to post on MSE. Such is life.
  • Had the same problem with Alliance & leicester. Basically if your applying for a loan you get through straight away. But if your doing the opposite like querying a mortgage for example you hang on for ages. I got round this by putting my mortgage query in writing to the Alliance & leicester which they were obliged to answer by personal letter. I point out to them that basically I cannot get through and would like my reply in writing.
