Co-op Bank Account/Barclays

cherry123_2

Hi,

I have both a co-op and a barclays bank account. Barclays have recently withdrawn my online banking which is making things a bit difficult to keep an eye on my budget so to speak. My questions are :

1) can I open another co-op account to transfer money too to cover my bills

2) and keep the barclays account so I can transfer our weekly shopping budget into this account.

3) and the other co-op account put money in which we were allowed for holidays and surplus money that we get (not much hope of that though:()

oh and last one, does anyone know if you pay cash in at the post office to a co-op account how long does it take to show in the account

thanks

no.....I don't think so.....the OR is only concerned with accounts inforce pre-BR

If Barclays have just withdrawn your online banking they may be sending you a letter giving you notice of your account being forcibly closed.

They seem to be culling loss leading customers by the boatload at the moment (i.e those that have no prospect of holding credit facilities etc).

And no, new accounts opened post BR are no business of the OR.

Ive had a letter from Barclays and it reads as follows :-

We have been advised of the above order by the offiicial receiver and have marked our records accordingly.

You may continue to use your Barclays cash card account as normal

You may continue to use your childrens savings account as normal

Please be advised that the telephone and internet banking services have been withdrawn.

Should you have any queries please contact this office.

If you are after a savings account, Yorkshire Building Society do an internet saver. Apply on line, done in 10 mins, get a withdrawal card through post. Loads of us on here have them.
