First direct switching time

Hi,

I've finally switched an account to First Direct and wondered how long after the switch date it takes till they pay your switching incentive? Halifax was only a couple of days.

    It is supposed to be paid within 28 days of criteria being met.

    However, despite a phone call last Monday (more than 28 days after switching), being assured I'd met all criteria, and that incentive would be paid within 5 days - I'm still waiting :(
