I have just applied for a First Direct savings account only to be told that to check me they have to call me at work on the
directory enquiries number they have - I work in a large organisation with calls directed through switchboards and they would be unlikely to get hold of me - how ridiculous!!

That does sound ridiculous to me. It would prevent me from having an account as I work from home, and we're ex-directory.0

What First Direct savings account have you applied for? Have you already got a current account with them?0

They did this with me a few years ago. As I worked on night duty they simply rang my work place and the person who answered just confirmed I worked there(NHS)!Got a ticket from ParkingEye? Seek advice by clicking here: Private Parking forum on MoneySavingExpert.:j0
