Switch - addresses dont match

Posts: 501 Forumite
unusual one i guess but does anyone have any experience of trying to switch an account where postal addresses dont match?
My son initiated a switch from Santander into a Halifax a/c last night, which he took out while still living at home.....never been his main a/c so he didnt update address when he moved out.....
Do we think it will fail?

Yeah it'll most likely fail IMO.
Common sense would tell me it would be better for him to change the address on the account so they match.Im an ex employee RBS GroupHowever Any Opinion Given On MSE Is Strictly My Own0 -
No idea on addresses but I did recently switch an account that was in my married name into one in my maiden name. No problems with that switch at all.0

stclair .......obviously he will change the address asap but tht involves a branch visit or post and hes already initiated the switch....
solentsusie .......Im surprised yours worked because the one thing they are clear on is that names must match!!!!!0 -
Well .... he's had letters from both banks saying the switch is going ahead with a date of 16th ....!!
I'm surprised, but fingers crossed for Monday......0 -
It does make you wonder how closely these things get checked doesn't it?0
