This may seem silly but who do I make the cheque payable to when applying for this account?

is there anything to say that an individual cant open more than 1 of these accounts

I don't see anything to that effect in the Ts & Cs, but I doubt they would allow it as there would be no point in them having an upper monthly deposit limit if they were going to allow multiple accounts.

thats what i thought as well although it does say its max " per account" and most societies do state if its max 1 account per member/person i have emailed loughborough asking but havent had a reply, might try there ring back facility but try email first to keep societies costs down

Wow - nice attitude, bristol. I wish others would think like this.

When I see posts like "I'll keep my account open with 1p in it so that the bank/society incurs lots of unnecessary costs" it makes me sick. So much better to minimise wasted effort, which reduces costs and resource usage in our financial institutions!

yep it is true what i said about me preferring to email rather than get a building society to ring me back in first instance to save them costs although in week i did ask 1 building society to call me ( after they suggested i call them) after 1 postal withdrawel request was ignored and 2 emails ignored i wont name the building society as have to be carefull what u say about people/organisations in public :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: ..its another reason y over the years ive opened accounts with 100.00 and not transacted at all to again save the building societies on cost of transacting ( money in and money out etc) :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

guess everyone is human was 1 off them actually what happened was i got monthly saver jan payment amount paid in was entered correctly but actual total was incorrect ( it stated amount paid in correctly not running total recorded correctly) i thought it would be noticed when feb payment went in but same cashier didnt notice it so running total was wrong in february as well ( 2 months running)

in march i sent 20.00 cheque( for monthly payment) + letter( on A4 paper) mentioning about book update error + letter asked to withdraw 900.00 ..book came back updated fully no withdrawal done and new cheque credited ,,,after 2 emails not answered within a conversation i had with the society i asked what happens to letters ie are they kept i was told they are scanned but no trace of a letter from me having been scanned, so i said when u get book back again u will see jan+ feb ongoing total both wrong and march total correct ( im saying was corrected in march cos was mentioned in letter i sent with book ) organisations rarely admit to having made a mistake or a shortcoming if they can avoid it ,,book is back in post seeking 900.00 withdrawal as i try and avoid losing interest over weekends ie i try and make withdrawals on a monday so starts earning interest somewhere else before the following weekend;)

this is answer i got from loughborough( 10.26 am 260307) so i guess it illustrates that "theres no such thing as a stupid question" although can sometimes appear like 1 :cool:

"Thank you for your recent query with regards to the New Regular Savers Plus Account.
I can confirm that it is possible for you to have more than one account" :j

obviously if people have just opened a loughborough account theres no need to resend id as loughborough have recently obtained id on file
