Tesco Savings Accounts (moving money out of)
TheShape
Posts: 1,896 Forumite
I've got a small amount of money in both a Tesco Internet Saver and a Tesco Instant Access Saver. I've tried numerous times transfer money (£2) out of each of the accounts. I've tried to transfer to Nationwide, Lloyds, both of my two Tesco Current accounts but have, each time, received an error message and no transfer takes place. I've tried on different days of the week, different times of day.
What am I missing? Anyone else experienced this?

You will probably have to telephone them to allow you to withdraw an amount initially - security questions etc. Had the same problem.0

Any danger of revealing what the error message was? I can't help thinking there might be a clue in it

Been reported before. When they've completed their ID checks and received your signed form they're supposed to remove a flag. Occasionally they forget!
But I think rather than try multiple times, to multiple accounts, at multiple times of the day, on multiple days of the week, and then post on here, and then wait for a reply...I'd have made a quick phone call. Unless you're out of the country?0 -

The point of saying I'd tried different times/days/accounts was not to suggest I'd been trying hundreds of times but to show I hadn't just tried once in the early hours of the morning.
It was gone midnight that I last tried. I thought I must be missing something obvious and that I'd wake up to find someone had posted the obvious thing I was missing. That obvious thing turns out to be 'give them a call'. Replies usually come quickly here anyway.0 -

To be fair it is ridiculous when it says 'please try again' when there's a restriction on the account. It should say 'we are unable to complete your request at this time. Please call us.'
Sometimes you do get these odd occasions where something doesn't work and simply 'trying again' does work.0
