    According to Sky News at 10am, Barclays have said the problem is now fixed.

    Someone is not telling the truth, and it’s not Sky 🤬
    According to the barclays status page all is ok too (except contacting them)

    Edit: Gatehouse credit received (just had the text alert)

    In terms of Regular Savings providers which use Barclays then?, is it Cambridge, Gatehouse, Principality & Skipton or are there others?

    Ooops, I've got a bit messed up and made a manual payment to Principality of the full RS of £125, and a standing order is due to go to them tomorrow for the same amount. Will they just bounce one back without a problem, or have I committed a punishable sin?

    Is it too late to change the standing order?

    I've tried cancelling it, but I think it's only cancelled future payments from March onwards. Santander say they need to know by Friday before if it's a Monday payment, according to their T&Cs

    Your punishment will be to go and sort out Barclays IT :smile:

    Product terms only state "You can't pay more than £125 in per month" but doesn't state what happens if an attempt is made to do so. I would suggest one will go through and the other will be returned to source.
