    they wont get many, bet stokies are skint
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.
  • Neither! It's from the date they tell you the switch was completed until the day before this date the following month. For example, my switch was completed on 28th November, so my 'funding month' runs from the 28th to the 27th of the following month.There's no queue with online banking. You should try it. :)

    I'm a little concerned now having read the above...

    My switch date was the 26 October 2011 and the way I understood it was, I should then deposit £800.00 every month for the next 3 months ie Any time in November / December / January

    My first payment of £800.00 went in on the 22nd November

    Is this OK?

    Many thanks

    I'd say thats fine, as it went in before the month. If you had paid it on the 27th November, then I would say it would have been too late.

    Try and pay it in on the same time each month.

    We'll never get, it was all a big con by the co-op to get more customers ;)

    If they are going to pay us however, I wish they'd hurry up. I do think their internet banking is complete C.R.A.P !

    Yes, agree with Gromitt. So glad that I transferred (but not closed) a pretty dormant account and set up 2 Standing Orders (which will be stopped when the bonus if paid). Worst online banking I have come across.

    All set fair to recieve my £200 next month now after paying in (and removing) my third £800.

    I'll almost feel guilty closing it.

    Yes, is it just me or does it automatically log you out if you attempt to delete a direct debit? It does have one redeeming feature though, it's very quick. Pages load almost instantly.
