    Does it actually matter?
  • Are your payments actually going through?

    If so, I really struggle to see what the problem is.
    Everyone needs something to believe in.

    I believe I need another beer.

    If my name is wrong on the system somewhere then my credit records will be wrong as they will refer to a wrong name.

    Besides, isn't everyone entitled to have their name correct on their accounts?

    It's not going to cause problems with banks transfers and unlikely to cause things wrong with your credit records but fair enough getting is corrected on the account name, but for transfer references it's not going to make the slightest bit of difference.

    Agreed. Their excuse that BACS / FP deletes the hyphen is bull***t, as I have shown in the examples from credits from other banks into a Lloyds account and a First Direct account.

    Also, the hyphen is missing from postal statements.

    They might not be bull**** and it's their computer system that deletes it. There's plenty of other characters, such as @ _ " which don't go through on a lot of systems.

    Similar problem I had. I closed the account after several calls / emails. It's not the fact about the payment not going through, if they can't get simples correct ……
    Can I find out my credit score?
    You do not have a single credit score or rating. Different organisations take different information into account when working out your credit score and may have different scores for different products. (Kindly from Experian)
