Current account switching service

Recently I sold part of a stocks and shares ISA. The initial lump sum I had previously paid into the ISA was from a Bank A current a/c I had over five years ago.

Five years ago I used the current a/c switching service to switch to the Bank B and subsequently used the switching service again to switch to Bank C two years after that.

The ISA proceeds were paid by my provider into Bank A despite more recent payments into that ISA coming from Bank C.

My question is will this payment into Bank A end up going through two switches into Bank C the one I wanted it to be paid into. My ISA provider say it will likely bounce back to them in a couple of days and then they will pay it to Bank C but I'm not so sure (there customer service is poor).

From what I can gather on the web current account switches since September 2013 are subject to an indefinite payment redirection period (rather than the previous 36 months) but I cant ascertain whether it will redirect from one bank, to another and then to another.

Any help would be appreciated
