Online banking, why can't I...

Remove contacts from my payment list?   I use TSB and my DD uses HSBC neither of them have a straight forward way of deleting contacts on the list of recipients.  We can add new recipients but not delete old ones!
Anyone know how to do this?  I did try to phone TSB but they are very busy as usual.

  • On your payment list is there an 'x' on right hand side?
    If so click it.

    I'm not sure what you mean "delete recipients"  

    On TSB - select Direct Debits and Standing Orders - press Cancel.   
    Never pay on an estimated bill. Always read and understand your bill

    Sorry I do not have that on my account.  I have set up a standing order but that just goes to a long form to fill in with new recepient details just like the make a payment page. Neither have an option to remove a DD or recipient.
    No X on the right either!
  • I know what you mean - a list of people you have made a faster payment to.  I bank with TSB and no, can't find a way to remove a recipient from that list. I think they drop off if a payment hasn't been made to that person in a while.

    On faster payments I have "delete recipient" and on direct debits I have "cancel". I don't use standing orders so I've no idea what's there.
    Tall, dark & handsome. Well two out of three ain't bad.

    TSB has "Delete Recipient" under the "UK & International Payments" tab.

    As DL says there seems no way todelete them.  EE how do i get to faster payments?  i have "make a payment"  or "make a transfer"  the former takes me to "pay an account" or  "make a transfer",   Pay an account I can see a list, I can add to the list but I cannot delete anyone and the list contains accounts I have not paid into for several years.

    On Barclays, the 'recipients' are deleted after a time period if you don't send them a payment.
