d63 said:there are various consumer protection rights relating to online purchases, such as returning stuff within 14 days etc, are there any such rights applicable in this instance if ybs had not been so obliging?Financial services are listed as exceptions to the Distance Selling Regulations though savings products are not specifically mentioned.https://www.gov.uk/online-and-distance-selling-for-businesses
I suspect that as the FR e bond wasn’t funded last week when it was opened, and OP’s mum phoned YBS immediately after she funded it today & spotted her mistake, they accepted this was a genuine error.1
