    I too would recommend caution when dealing with Post Office Savings Bank, as it hasn't existed for nearly 50 years ;)
    Did you really mean to put loose?
    Lose: no longer possess, not to retain, unable to find
    Loose: not firmly or tightly fixed in place

    Just to complete the story. After wasting yet another week and seeing no activity from the post office and getting nowhere with the few phone calls that get through at 0801am, I finally closed the account online and cancelled the DD. I opened an account with Aldemore (5 minutes) and transferred the money immediately. An hour later I received confirmation of a successful transfer. That is how a bank should be run! Its a pity that the PO came before Aldemore in the MSE email ....
