You are allowed one of each issue (supposedly). Seems you can only manually open an issue 4 if you don't already have an issue 4. But you may be able to get multiples of the same issue when past ones mature, as you seem to have done already.s71hj said:

Think it takes up to 24hrs in some cases. I continued with the transaction from Halifax even though the reference wasn't recognised. Triple checked it though!Digital_Payback said:

Does Starling not let you proceed anyway? What I do, is send £1. Give it a couple of hours for the £1 to show up in the new account (that's how long it takes to appear) then send the remaining £199.Digital_Payback said:

Yes, confirmation of payee doesn't work straight away for new accounts. But depending on where you're sending the money from, you might be able to ignore warnings and proceed anyway, as long as you can trust yourself to enter the account number accurately.Aidanmc said:

Thank you Bridlington1 and Surrey Saver for the link
one each opened from the link and reason for the comment is that I did the issue 3 via the link and DH via website, I have matured previous issues extra issue 3 and DH was refused.
Just a theory but these links might prove more useful to us in the future if I'm correct because it by passes agreeing to the account T & C's
Thoughts?
Time will tell I suppose wait and see when we all try to mature our issue 3's to multiple extra issue 4's
If you want to be rich, never, ever have kids
