    I closed mine 3 months ago, best thing I did this year I think!!
    Debt free and staying that way! :beer:
  • We have a store card with them and although its not our highest APR i am tempted to pay them off next in my snowballing because i cant stand communicating with them. They don't know their !!!! from their elbow most of the time.

    I want to change from santander. They haven't done anything wrong to me personally (and I havent read anything bad yet either) but I currently hold 3 accounts with them. A business account for a business I have just closed down - can't close the account yet as things are still be finalised with orders etc. A joint account with my housemate which I now need cancelled as its effecting my credit score and finally a personal account with no pin no. even though Ive asked for a new pin number for over a year now!

    My problem is I don't know where to move to?

    HSBC have always been good to me

    First Direct? A division of HSBC and seem to have a very good reputation

    If all their customers moved, this forum might die overnight!

    I made 2010 the year to move from Satander - to First Direct. Top decision as far as I'm concerned.
