Just made one mistake.... dont want to make another...

Hi....Ive got 2 doormant Halifax current accounts i do not use so i used one this morning via the switching service on Martins site to a TSB CLASSIC PLUS account to bag the £100 switching fee BUT upon completion i realised i didnt qualify because the Halifax account didnt have 2 active direct debits. CAN I CANCEL THIS EASILY BEFORE THE 7 DAY SWITCH ??

That said..... if i cant cancel i am willing to let it go as will use the new TSB account to qualify for the TSB Regular Saver Account but with my other Halifax Account i have, i was going to open up a 1st Direct Account but while i know i have to fund it to the tune of £1000 over 3 months, i need to know do direct debits come into play here too???

I cant see any mention of them and do not want to make the same mistake again !!

    Actually in the long run this is just a blip, but to turn a negative into a positive you've learnt to read the t&cs, then read again, wait a day or two and read them yet again. Then act.

    The old engineers adage, measure twice, cut once.

    Cheers fj
  • ....better still..... ring 1st direct and get the answer that i was hoping for ...lol
