    I had one about my savings account, didnt read it though binned
    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.
  • yeah, i had a letter sent saying they are changing cards,checkbooks etc!! didnt give a date though!!

    Virgin Money have said they won't start offering current accounts until 2013, so they probably won't change any Northern Rock current accounts over until then or maybe use them as a trial at the end of 2012.

    I had a letter yesterday saying "If you have a Nothern Rock cheque book you can carry on using it as normal, and when you need a new one we will replace it with a Virgin Money version. The same applies if you have a debit card - when it expires or needs to be replaced your replacement card will be from Virgin Money.

    To enable me to keep up with the MSE debit card infatuation ive ordered a new one ill post a pic when it arrives.
