    you see over a period of time the same names crop up with negatives about posting in the wrong place. Its the only thing they contribute, never anything of any use.
    They moan about clogging up the board but what are their posts doing?
    When you do post a grabbit someone seems to be petty and move it these days anyway.
    Thanks for the information op.

  • Thanks to the OP. Even if it's "in the wrong thread" it's much more helpful than some of the other posts you see.

    I was told of a problem with LINK system this morning. If you went to a Nationwide machine to take money out of a Halifax account you wouldn't get any money as the bit that checks the balance in your Halifax account isn't working but if you have a Nationwide account you could get cash from a Nationwide ATM as it doesn't use the LINK system to chack the balance. Soundslike you've got more chance of getting money if you use your own bank. Halifax customer go to Halifax machines etc..

    Sainsburys Bank online (linked to HBOS) is now working (wasn't this morning) so maybe it has been fixed??

    Thanks. It is not a grabbit but it is a helpful post that i would not have seen if it hadnt been posted here.

    I tried earlier and thought my details had been falsely used as it would not accept my payment . was getting worried so thanks again for post.

    I used my Halifax bank card earlier, about 1pm without any trouble what so ever. If that helps.
