    you have been questioning the OP, when you should have been questioning the policies of the parent company of your employer.

    There's no harm in questioning the OP. After all, if nobody has confirmation of this daft policy (and you yourself said it was a complete fabrication earlier in the thread), then it's likely to be either a poor employee, or a misunderstanding on the part of either the employee or the OP, or both.

    The title doesn't have the word "scam" or "lies" in the title -normal indicators of misunderstanding-, but it is still possible that the OP has misunderstood. Mind you, that's not what I draw from the information given.

    Could the OP be a bit confused ? They mention that they were told "you have to move everything across" Sounds to me like they were talking about the switching service and the OP has misunderstood ?

    I don't think there was any confusion. They asked me if I had a current account anywhere else. I told them I had one at Barclays, and they told me that unfortunately that means I can't open a current account at HSBC, due to the "no split banking" rule.
