"Failed" Halifax BT happened anyway - now done twice!

If you received the following message when trying to do a balance transfer:
We were unable to complete part of your balance transfer request. See the balance transfer summary on the left for more details. We recommend that you print this page for your records.

..what would you think?

Well if you think the transfer didn't work, you would be wrong.

Halifax have carried out the balance transfer it told me had failed.

Since I tried it again later with a lower value, Halifax have now done two transfers instead of one, and the other card is now in credit by over £1k.

  • Having the same problem with Barclaycard buddy,

    2 of my balance transfers that never appears have now appeared and left me in credit on 2 of my other cards.

    It's proving a bit of a ball ache at the moment! (See my post - "Overpaid on 2 credit cards")

    Good luck with yours
