    Agh bangs head on wall time again.
    Just realised I forgot to cycle the £1000 through my BOS vantage accounts by 30th June. Guess it too late now :mad: (though I've done it just in case). That's probably about £60+ loss of interest (six accounts for OH and me ) :(
    So annoying as I got the 2 DDs needed for each account sorted out last month in time for September.

    Hi Gocat. Like others suggested set up a S/O for the same date for all the payments needed. It's so much easier. I've had no problems so far.

    I hope you don't mind me asking, but how did you manage to set up so many d/d's. I need to find the cheapest option (I'm hoping £1 each or less) otherwise I won't be earning any interest come September. I can't move my utilities d/d's as they are needed on the account they are already on!

    Any suggestions gratefully received.:)

    Damo, you need to open a T instant access and a T internet saver account. OPen both in line and then you can set up your own dd's from them....sorted!

    Hi juju. Thanks for the info but I'm sorry I don't understand what you mean.

    When you say T do you mean toscos? I've already got my accounts opened at other banks but because I don't have d/d's on them I won't receive interest after September so am looking to set up the cheapest d/d's to qualify for interest to be paid.

    Sorry if that was what you meant but I'm not sure what 'T' stands for.
