Many thanks for your sympathetic response Vortigen. We all live and learn by our "mistakes", but it seems others on this forum never make any <LOL>

So what did happen, why was your BT DD cancelled?

You wont. They don't exist anymore.

Looks like we'll never get an answer to this. But it was obviously everybody else's fault.

I posted in the hope that others may learn from my "mistake".


I have no interest in responding to inane comments and questions from keyboard warriors.

Don't be silly, tell us why your BT DD vanished. As it might help us if we understand how that can happen.

Then, as you wanted, we can really learn from your 'mistake' in order that none of us do the same thing.

Lloyds are stricter I believe.

Money needs to go out via DD monthly.

It's a condition, just like Santander's, which has to be met.

However, at least Lloyds have a 6-8 week 'grace period' from account opening where they will both pay the interest and waive the fee until you've had chance to sort out your funding and set up the requisite DDs...so in that sense they're not "stricter".

As a recently resigned Santander Employee, I was responsible for selling Santander products inc. 123 Current Account.

We have 3 (1 sole, one joint, and one in my wife's sole name), all with £500 standing order going in and straight back out in each, and 2 Active DD's which are annual charity DD's.

The above is sufficient!
