Clarity Card - Anything but with Halifax

MrP0P

I was prompted to this card by MSE for use overseas. I already had a Halifax Platinum card and so called to change. I was initially told I could not change for 6 months because Halifax were migrating to Lloyds Bank systems. I was then told I could change in a few working days once my platinum card balance was clear. When I did so, Halifax then took too much and refused to close my account till they had reimbursed me - their mistake. When that had cleared I was told I had to wait another month and then apply and finally after I had closed my platinum card I was told I would have to wait till AT LEAST NOVEMBER 2014 because of the migration.
MSE need to warn people about this and I suggest steer people away from the card and probably Halifax RBS as well particularly if you are an existing customer.:mad:

Sorry to hear you've had all that trouble.

Lloyds bank migration system is much better, I recently changed product very easily with Lloyds Bank.

Halifax and RBS are in no way connected - I take it you meant Bank of Scotland>?

Very odd - I simply made a phone call and was switched over while on the phone. in transit debits and credits simply got allocated automatically to the new cArd.
