  • I had to print a years worth of bank statements from my online banking , as my accounts are paperless.
    Last 3 months payslips.
    I checked that I could withdraw The child benefit that had gone in the day they rang, as it was for childcare and she said it was fine. As they have no interest in my account ive just used it as normal and haven't heard from them since I sent all the paperwork back so I presume that's it for the year unless there's any changes to tell them of.

    They asked me for a year's worth of bank statements and I rang the bank and they posted them to me. They will do this if asked and I have had paperless banking for years.

  • That's my worry as the 2 accounts I have had now I only had 6 months. They just basic. I closed my other one with Yorkshire as wages went in there and bills came out of another and it was just getting worse so my account is. It closed. Oh god I hope I don't get wrong. I just have to be honest. I get my stat maternity pay 15 Nov so I need to draw that out but like you say they may have no interest in bank. I also have a little net working job based on commission I get paid on the 10th as can't just afford to live on maternity stay. I have been honest about this and this is paid on the 10 hope I can keep that. If I don't sell I don't get paid x
