    Regarding their OD offer, I asked last week whether they would match my £200 OD with another bank and they said yes and all I needed was a bank statement to prove I had this £200 OD. So whether they would up it to £250, as stated on their website, I shall find out as I am very tempted to switch!

    I've been really impressed with A & L recently. I opened their online saver last year and that's earned me guite a bit of interest and it's always touted as being one of the best online savings accounts, including by Moneywise mag. I'm also transferring my ISA to them as they have a good interest rate offer there too! HURRAY A & L!! :T

    Barstewards!!! Got refused. Probably as I am part-time so can only put in just over £500 per month, plus my rubbish credit rating. Oh well, OH's rating is a hell of a lot better, so will get him to try.

    Hi there

    I got an account with A&L last week and they have given me a £1,300 OD facility which as you say, is 0% interest for 12 months. I am waiting for the paperwork which should arrive today/tomorrow and then I will transfer my Barclays OD to this account - saving 15.6% interest :D

    I am hoping this will affect positively my DFD too :)

    We have a joint account with them too and have found the service good, if a bit slow at times.

    I am hoping to start referring people soon from my new account - even £5 will help with my debt :)

    Best of luck with it!

  • Im thinking of opening an A & L account is anyone interested in referring me?

    Thanks very much in anticipation.
