i need to check our bank statements etc as there

building

are often mistakes etc but i never have the time with everything I do. how would someone recommend I find someone to do this - even online without any loss of confidentiality (you always hear of horror stories). thanks in advance.

I'm really not sure what kind of mistakes might be made that someone else could pick up! But even if someone else could check them for you, they'd then need to check with you that it was a mistake - if what's written on the cheque stub doesn't agree with what's on the statement, is it a mistake on the cheque stub? And they'd need your authority before the bank could discuss it with them, or you'd have to find the time to make the call yourself.

And how can someone check this with no loss of confidentiality?

Maybe you need to change banks. Or re-order your priorities.

i need someone to go through and check receipts against bank deductions. does this info help? i can pick up then on the areas where things are not correct but at least i need what is what. i usually go through the statements and check against bank cheques, visa etc.

Some charges checking software available here http://www.chargechecker.co.uk/chargechecker.htm no idea what it's like, but free to try...

Bit of general advice here http://www.is4profit.com/busadvice/bank/bank.htm
and a company which checks for you http://www.bankexperts.co.uk/interest/index.htm

Haven't used any of this myself but remember a guy on the tv and radio a couple of years ago getting a few quid back for his customers (lots of quids for one particular company).
