Since I'm ineligible for any of the others, I'm switching to YB. And then I'm switching to YB. And then I'm switching to YB. And then I'm...not typing that out xx times!

My switch from Clydesdale to CoOp starts Monday, target date 17th February. Never held an account for so short a time, but don't think the Clydesdale direct account is worth keeping if I can get £100 from CoOp and £35.35 from TCB for sacrificing it.

PS Did you read my message to you at imutual?

There must be 2 YorkshireBoys, because I don't have an account at imutual.

I wonder if anyone could help.
I'm trying to do my first switch but it seems impossible to get someone to speak to about opening an account over the phone. If I phone up they say all their advisors are busy and will call me back. I've phoned up 4x now and left my number each time over the last 2 weeks and have still not had a call back. How are you guys managing to get through to open multiple accounts? :huh:

Try a free phone number like this.

I've used free numbers for all 3, 2 times I was just on hold for a bit but then got through. Nothing about call backs.

Use one of the 0800 numbers instead of the expensive 0844 number, i.e. 0800 202122.


DD's not required, just £1000.00 per month for the interest to be implemented.

I found the only way to guarantee being dealt with was to go into the branch. I went on the web site and "requested an appointment" weeks ago, heard nothing.

So last Thursday I just walked into the branch and got an appointment for the following day.

Its hit and miss - so maybe it depends on the time of the day. I rang up and was disconnected as no advisors were available - rang 5 mins later and I got straight through.

Once I requested an online branch appt request and heard nothing - the next time they rang me the next day.

So its a bit random - but its a good offer and once you do open an account its fine. They also do quite a good rate on their 40 day notice ISA for those with large sums.
