Pass book account question

Archer0710

Well two questions actually!

DH has an old Santander pass book account migrated from an old A&L account that he never received any pass book for and they want to charge us for a replacement. Does anybody know how much the replacements are please?

Also which accounts if any have passbooks, I understand it's not great interest but the amount sat in there isn't that high but it's the format I would like this small bit of money in it will be less than £1k

Thanks

I would tell them the facts and if they charge ask to register a complaint to get the money back again.

Thanks I hadn't thought of that, I assumed I would just have to hand over money get book rather than have a charge applied.

That sounds like the solution will task DH with that this week!

I'm really surprised the amount was not stated when they advised there was one. :cool:

Anyway, £10 for a lost passbook.

But accoprding to you, the passbook wasn't actually lost. You claim he never had one. Strange... more details needed on this I think.

The account was opened by my Husbands Aunt when he was tiny as she worked for A&L at the time.

The account always had a little bit of money in but largely unused for a number of years. It was migrated to Santander when they took over A&L and eventually we got notification to say it was now a Santander passbook account but all he ever got was a letter with the new ref number on, nothing else!

So no we have never had a Santander passbook with the relevant references on for this account

It has a passbook and isn't too bad for a savings account.

Does he have a A&L passbook for this account?

He probably needs to take it along to a branch to exchange it for a new Santander passbook.

My mum has passbooks on several accounts that were Stroud and Swindon BS and are now Coventry BS.
