    Mines showing the same, also they've also took another payment out even though I'm at maximum paid in amount.
    They don't take anything - it's a standing order that you set up. Payments will continue to be made until you cancel the standing order that you set up.


    Thanks,  just cancelled it, thought it was set up as a direct debit.
  • There does seem to be an issue this month with HTS, as transactions haven't yet appeared in accounts. 

    I phoned through earlier and  the advice was either to wait or pay again and one payment would be rejected and re credited to originating back account

    We are both named on the Child Tax Credit letter and my wife's Help To Save account is due to mature after 4 years this August. Can I open one in my name as I am named on the Child Tax Credit letter?

    We also seem to have noticed that this month's payment by standing order is yet to show on my wife's Help To Save account

    I would assume so, both my Husband and I have one - not that he's really aware. I top up every month. I'm sure he'll have a recollection come bonus pay out time :-)

    Yes, you can, as long as you meet the criteria at the time of your application.

    App update today, helptosave account closed from  06/04
    Savings to be paid into account no later than 20/04
    aghh I had seen an earlier update a week or two ago suggesting savings paid around 10/04.
    Thankfully my oled tv is being re paid as planned.
    Why doesn't Gov UK consider continuing with this type of savings account, it's worked for me to save upto 48 months.

    thanks mser's for the info on this incentive, appreciated.  
    Replenished CRA Reports.2020 Nissan Leaf 128-149 miles top charge. Savings depleted. VM Stream tv M250 Volted to M350 then M500 since returned to 1gb

    I'm a few months away from finishing mine, and now my daughter is eligible. If she sets the account up can I use my card to make the payments?
