    Nope, just made one.
    Anything I post is my opinion, so from time to time I may be wrong. I try to provide answers based in fact, however I don't know everything, so (like all posters on MSE), take what I say with a pinch of salt.

    I have made several today of £500 odd each.
    Are you attempting to send more than £1000?

    I had issues on friday - two of my reward accounts wouldn't even send 100 quid by FP!

    Had a few problems this morning, with Lloyds informing me that I could send them £1500 from Halifax to Lloyds by FP, phoned Halifax who informed me that they had a daily limit of £1000, he tried to send £1000 for me, but Lloyds would "not accept", he tried £900. same thing.

    Phoned Llods who said, " we do accept FP".

    Went onto Halifax website, sent £1000 by FP, then sent £500 by FP within 3 minutes of each other, both amounts went instantly and when logging into Lloyds account, both payments reveived within minutes!

    So who is telling the porkies?

    Was also told by Lloyds that they could not take payments over the phone to accept via debit card/bank account details from another bank as " they are not allowed to obtain funds from another bank", does this sound right?
