    Not without more information.

    Which COL?

    Is she due the COLp paymnt.

    If it is the second payment being paid out now it can be paid up till 23 November so there is still a week  for it to be pid.

    Somebody has to be first and somebody has to be last.

    Suits Me isn’t a bank, so your deposits won’t be protected, but I believe it is licensed.

    Looking online at its costs etc I cannot believe why anyone would want to use it.


    OP Tell your friend to open a proper bank account, Starling gets good reviews.
