    Not good, but unless you work in a Bank/Building Society you wouldn't know this :(

    Exactly - I still feel outraged about it

    No one ever says to you when you set up your dd that you have to keep it active. And lots of people restrict themselves to only using their cc cards for dire necessities and emergencies

    No just one £100 transaction

    I am now dithering incase it has gone in but it won't update until tommorow ... I don't suppose if I rang the credit card team they can see anything more than I can ...

    They send you an email to say you have got it too. It's a pest waiting for everything isn t it ? And having to chase things up all the time.

    I just wish Frank would go away - has anyone read when it is supposed to stop?

    Also I am thinking that in 20 years time will all the names and months of these storms become just another tortous pub quiz question ...

    Will us old codgers sit around our radiators and reminisce about Christmas of 2015 and Frank blowing a hoolley ....:D

    I wish Frank would go I have gave up putting my blue wheelie bin back upright . Earlier I tipped it up and emptied all paper out and threw that in black bin after I had stuffed paper etc in a plastic bag. Bin men going to be refusing to empty my black bin if they look in it ;)

    Looks like he will stop tonight according to local weather no weather warnings to give :T. Going to go colder New Years Day very early morning will be -3 :cool:

    so true, I work in a bank and lots of counter staff are completely unaware of the rule even though they often deal with the direct debits, makes me mad that frontline staff are not keeping the poor customers up to date.
