Stick it in the automated paying in machine.Seen it all, done it all, can't remember most of it.1

Surely if the name is correct the title should not make any difference.

Ms and Miss are the same unless you meant Mrs?
As others have said the title isn’t important so long as the name is correct.1 -
Yes my name is correct and I'm definitely a Ms, paid it in this morning and they didn't say anything but it's not showing up on mobile banking as yet, unsure if it only shows when cleared, fingers crossed, thanks to everyone who replied0

Ms effectively means "why should women (unlike men) be defined by marital status, which is a bizarre patriarchal anachronism?"mwarby said:

First of all, it's YOU'RE. Secondly, Ms can refer to any woman, regardless of marital or any other status and thirdly, just . go away.Please note - taken from the Forum Rules and amended for my own personal use (with thanks) : It is up to you to investigate, check, double-check and check yet again before you make any decisions or take any action based on any information you glean from any of my posts.
