Lloyds TSB Vantage query

I have PoA over my mum's account and when I realised she's now getting more than £1000 a month coming into her account, I attempted to change over to Vantage as her account is still called 'Classic' on the main screen. However, I get this message 'You already have a Classic Account with Vantage'.
Seemingly my PoA does not allow me access to telephone banking, and I can't easily get to a branch. Just wanted to check in case having the money coming in weekly would be an issue before I attempt to take this further, ie does the £1000 have to be deposited in one, or can it be spread over 4 deposits of £250+

It would appear she already has a Classic Account with Vantage?
It should be identified as "Classic Vantage"

If the account is "with Vantage", you will find that interest is added to the account. Check whether that has happened after any month in which £1K+ was paid in. It turns up dated the first working day of the next month.0 -

There's been no interest added - that was why I wanted to double check that the money could trickle in, in order for the interest to be paid. Dealing with banks with the PoA is a pain, but hopefully it will be sorted in branch.0 -

No - balance has never been below 4k.0 -
Classic accounts pay no interest, classic vantage accounts do. I'd check the statement to see if interest has been added.
If it has then vantage has been added.
You also have to cycle the £1,000 a month through the account to meet the terms of vantage and get monthly interest.0 -

As previously stated, no interest has been added, and over £1000 is going into the account.0 -

I would suggest you try again on line to upgrade the account or write them a letter.
I wish you luck getting it resolved in the branch. The staff in my branch are hopeless."A nation's greatness is measured by how it treats its weakest members." ~ Mahatma Gandhi
