Santander Bank statements

trying to get out of debt its important that we keep up to date with out bank statements to check what's coming in and going out of our account.

alliance & leicster online banking used to say what all dd's were for ie Axa Insurance £56 but, over the weekend its changed to santander and now the statement doesn't explain what the dd's for it just says dd £56.

is there anyone else who thinks this is wrong and we need to have the name of who the dd's going to? I have several dds coming out and it's going to be really difficult to check what the dds are for.

    I agree that is rather crap, I do like to know who I am paying even if they have a silly DD name you have to decipher.

    mine still aren't showing the receiving company - only that it's a dd and the amount - could be being paid to anyone:( Maybe its cos its the first day of the transfer from alliance and leicester to santander. i'll keep an eye on it.
  • Since Santander change over,My statements not showing any Id for receipts into my account!.I rang A and L after 38 min wait they said they cant identify them either.What use is a random set of numbers against a faster payment? I need proper names as on the A L statements and online..I was told if enough people complain they will have to do something.
