You know, like the banks' overdraft T&Cs exploited you.
Like I said to you earlier, time to get your own back...legally!0 -
Anyone going to try and disguise it, rather shifting the £1000 through 3 or 4 accounts on the bounce?0

A & L have a £250 Faster Payment limit. Their customer service department is very vague as to correct limits. But I managed yesterday to send 6 x £250 to different accounts, something I was told I couldn't do.
Also the first time I set up payments, wanting them to go by FP, they were blocked by security and sent by BACS, I advise a small test transfer first.
Good Luck0
