abbey current account

kanchhelskis

Dear people i switched from lloyds/tsb to abbey to get the 100 pounds.

payed in over 1k this month so another 2 to go.

the thing is abbey cant get hold of my dd and standing orders from lloyds/tsb , will this effect my 100 pounds, if they dont come over?

thanks in advance.

I believe the answer is "yes". They will say you are not moving your main account to them and therefore won't qualify.

I've had similar problem with A&L - where Abbey wouldn't confirm SOs. That was a short time before Santander took over A&L as well as having Abbey. Really annoying.

If you're sure it's LTSB's fault (and not the fault of Abbey, although you'd be forgiven for thinking so :rolleyes:), you could approach LTSB and remind them of their obligation to provide such information in a timely manner under section 7.3 of the Banking Code...

Not at all. Opening that specific account type and the 1k a month coming in is all that's needed to trigger the 100 pound reward.

this is all par the course when banking with Abbey, it doesn't get much better when you go into a branch either as thousands were over-looked when an employee stole the money and left the company!

my advice is once this issue is resolved to change your bank
