we were supposed to get our JSA into my bank on wed as usual, went to bank and nothing in
phoned them up on wed afternoon, explained and they said i would get a call back and if i didnt to call back this morning, no call back so i phoned again, woman said she would email it as an emergency and i would get a call back within the hour
got a call back and the woman said the payment will go into my bank 'some time this afternoon'
so my question is, will it be cleared for tomorrow or will it take 3 working days till i can draw it out? im with barclays if thats any help

You might be able to see payments due to be made. I'm with HSBC and I can see if anything is due to be credited to the account.0

The DWP will press a button on their computer, and the money will whizz it's way over the information superhighway to your bank. You don't need to know how it is being paid to ask the question!Gone ... or have I?0 -
